A 23-minute video clip featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of "A Southern Revelation", the seventh album from MY RUIN — the Los Angeles-based band featuring the husband-and-wife rock duo of vocalist Tairrie B. Murphy and multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy — can be seen below. The CD — which will be made available as a free download and gift to fans starting December 7, 2011 exclusively via www.myruin.net— was produced by Mick Murphy and Joel Stooksbury at Soundtrack Black Studio deep in the snowy mountains just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee in the cold January winter of 2011.

MY RUIN will embark on the "Southern Revelation Tour" to celebrate the release of "A Southern Revelation". Special guests for the trek are British metal heavyweights GODSIZED along with Colchester thrashers and longtime friends SANCTORUM and Nottingham rockers LONG DAY FEAR.
MY RUIN recently announced the addition of drummer Isaac Lee to the group's ranks.
And with these words, so begins “Hate Train,” a previously unreleased song from the Death Magnetic sessions that the band performed last night as part of their four-night thirtieth anniversary celebration at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and a rough mix of which has subsequently been e-mailed to Metallica fan club members (audio below).

Produced by Joe Barresi (Tool and Queens Of the Stone Age), this is a successful return to their heavy roots as well as a cohesive and varied alternative hard rock record. This is driven by a solid bass line and a terrific guitar playing complemented by a great drum beat and vocals as we love.
From the opening hit radio-friendly single Face To The Floor to the ending acoustic trackIndifferent, they maintain both a strong intensity and a fierce dynamism that don’t weaken.
They deliver appealing melodies throughout the album. The catchy riffs stick in your head all day in Back To The Floor or Same Old Trip. A lot of tracks can sound very similar but if you listen attentively, it is subtly different.
Pete Loeffler‘s guitar playing and singing are remarkable without a doubt. They also explore new sounds that turn into great pieces of music such as “Envy” and “The Meddler” that stand out. Highly recommended. Envy is my favorite. It features cellos, outstanding heavy guitar parts and an excellent drum beat that reminds me a little bit of ”The Drums of the Bronx”. It is pretty original. The orchestral arrangements are stunning.
If you love acoustic songs, Prima Donna, a blend of middle Eastern music sounds, as Indifferent will do your bliss.
In conclusion, Hats Off to Chevelle for this awesome album. You will not be disappointed. What I love about them, is this unique sound that makes them different from other bands. They don’t follow the current mainstream music and it is a good thing. For fans and music lovers.

Here's the thing. In the morass of harsh modern heavy metal, abounding with grimy death vocals and little melody, it takes a lot, more than a sense of history, to deliver classic melodic heavy metal. This is especially so if you want to invoke and play the seminal and inspired New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) style (that inspired many youngsters to pick up a Fender). Honestly, Birmingham's Dark Forest nails it. On their second release, Dawn of Infinity, they secure their position in this grand tradition.
Above, Dark Forest: it's deja vu all over again: heavy metal with denim and high top sneakers.
Okay, Dark Forest gets it, if you didn't get my point in the last paragraph. With early Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, among others, I was weaned on this classic metal. With twin guitars, a solid and supportive rhythm section, and soaring and clean vocals, Dark Forest are reincarnations of their forefathers, and without apology. The Tor, Sieze the Day, and Deadly Premonition are magnificent interpretations of the genre. They border on genius, if not clever homage. Through the Glass Darkly exceeds expectations. Echoing the best of Maiden, the arrangement offers elements both epic and speedy, both heavy and entertaining. Black Delta echoes this description. If you've guessed I'm impressed, then you would be correct. But, allow me to add this caveat: though a fan of the genre, there is a slight bit of redundancy here. Thankfully, each song has significant merit, thanks to the talented musicianship, to put Dark Forest in the realm of better classic metal bands.
I know that Dark Forest does not meet the standards of current metal fashion. (And that's a very good thing.) Frankly, if they feel unappreciated, I understand. God forgive us for not including some sense of melody and harmony in our heavy metal music. Once more, Dark Forest gets it! For pure and true heavy metal Dark Forest is the real deal. Accept no substitutes.

Nach dem famosen 2010er-Debut "Beast of Thunder" liegt nun schon der Nachfolger vor mit "Never Cry Wolf". Und das auch wieder im edlen Digi-Pack in Eigenregie (was enorm verwundert bei der Qualität der holländischen Combo!). Das Debut erntete durch die Bank in allen Magazinen gute bis hervorragende Kritiken und bot wesentlich stärkeren Stoff, als einem oft von Labels angedreht wird. Es steht auch weiterhin US-Power Metal der Marke ICED EARTH, JAG PANZER, CAGE oder VICIOUS RUMORS auf dem Plan. Mit den 11 hier gebotenen Songs(bei satten 68 Minuten!), amtlich produziert von Yuma van Eekelen (PESTILENCE) und Bart Hennephof (TEXTURES), muss man sich keinesfalls hinter den Genannten verstecken!
OK, soviel Power und Esprit wie VICIOUS RUMORS und so viel Ohrwurmpotenzial wie ICED EARTH hat man zwar (noch) nicht, aber gegen die restliche Konkurrenz kann man anstinken. Nach dem zackigen Titeltrack zu Beginn, geht´s mit dem epischer groovenden "Taiga" weiter - Schaffers Mannschaft ist hier im Sound ganz nah dabei. Bandgründer und Sänger David Marcelis hat ebenso wie Matt Barlow hohe Schreie genauso drauf, wie cleanen Gesang oder kraftvolles Shouting und ebenso wie ICED EARTH wechseln LORD VOLTURE gekonnt zwischen groovenderen Tracks, längeren Epics und fast schon thrashigen Bangern ("Korgon´s Descent"). Paul Mercelis und Leon Hermans glänzen dabei an ihren Äxten, die Soli sind Klasse und die Rhythmusfraktion Simon Geurts (Bass)/ Frank Wintermans (Drums) hat immer das passende Gerüst am Start. Mit Abgeh-Brettern wie eben "Korgon´s Descent" oder "Necro Nation" kratzt man schon am ANNIHILATOR-Sound (Jeff Waters war ja auch Gast auf Album No.1), deren Fans dürfen also durchaus auch mal ein Ohr riskieren. Mit dem fast 8-minütigen, teils IRON MAIDEN-lastigen "Into the Lair of a Lion" hat man kurz vor Schluss noch ein weiteres Epic-Highlight geparkt, das es unbedingt zu entdecken gilt. Hier steuert auch Sean Peck von CAGE einige kraftvolle Gastvocals bei. Trotz der Länge der meisten Tracks schaffen es LORD VOLTURE, keine Längen zu produzieren und den Hörer jederzeit an die Anlage zu binden. Nach dem akustischen Zwischensong "Brother" folgt nochmal ein siebeneinhalb-minütiger ICED EARTH-Ritt deluxe mit "The Wolf at your Door", der dem Vergleich aber auch standhalten kann! Abgerundet wird diese enorm starke Vorstellung vom bereits eingangs erwähnten sehr schicken Digi-Pack nebst dickem Booklet - äußerst professionell!
US-Metalfans, ICED EARTH im Besonderen, sollten sich umgehend diese tolle Scheibe (und die Erste gleich dazu) besorgen! LORD VOLTURE sind etlichen kommerziell größeren Label-Luftikussen unbedingt vorzuziehen... do it!
