PAIN OF SALVATION finalizing new studio album release
March 5th, 2010
Additionally, Pain of Salvation have also just finished works for their upcoming studio album release, “Road Salt Ivory”, and Gildenlöw comment as follows:
“The first part of ‘Road Salt’ is finished – mixed, mastered and delivered! It is a 12 track album of sweaty grovel, asphalt butterflies, untreaded paths and brave decisions. It will be presented to the world in one standard edition and one limited director’s cut, of which we of course recommend the latter one. See, as usual, we refuse to add some stuff haphazardly to put together a limited product - we always see the larger version as the “real” one; the one that makes us the proudest. The release is scheduled for May…”
Pain of Salvation’s video clip for the title track of their current EP release, “Linoleum”, directed by Owe Lingwall of Village Road Film can be watched on our media page here.
More album details for the “Road Salt Ivory” release via InsideOutMusic will be available in the coming weeks. Visit the following locations for further details:

March 2nd, 2010
Fourteen years after his last album of original material, psych-rock legend and onetime 13th Floor Elevators frontman Roky Erickson is readying a new record called “True Love Cast Out All Evil”, out April 20 via Anti- in the USA. The UK release will come on June 7 via Chemikal Underground.
And he got some top-shelf help to bring his songs to life: fellow Austinites Okkervil River back Erickson on the whole LP, and Okkervil frontman Will Sheff produces. The team-up isn’t a surprise, since Erickson played with Okkervil River at SXSW in 2008 and 2009.

New RAVEN album “Walk Through Fire” on March 26
March 2nd, 2010
The undisputed kings of Athletic Rock are back! Harder and stronger than ever. With their new album “Walk Through Fire” they show all non believers what real metal is about. Screaming guitar riffs, pumping bass lines, exploding drums and a voice which is not from this earth!
It is now 28 years ago since their first album “Rock Until You Drop” was released and during this time Raven definitely influenced a lot of bands. Who played their first tour at the east coast in the USA as support to Raven? Metallica. Who played their first gigs ever as support to Raven? Anthrax. The list goes on and on. Ask Mille of Kreator or Tom Angelripper of Sodom. Both will say that Raven was a big influence on their musical careers.
The new album will be released through Steamhammer/SPV in Europe on March 26. Raven’s line up is still John Gallagher (bass, vocals), Mark Gallagher (guitars) and Joe Hasselvander (drums). This summer the band will play on festivals like the Sweden Rock Festival in Sweden, Hellfest in France and Headbangers Open Air in Germany.

1349 reveals title for the upcoming album
February 25th, 2010
“Demonoir” is without a shadow of a doubt 1349’s darkest, most sinister and brutal work to date, and in this case it comes to mean that the band has gone from the utterly extreme to the genre-expanding and mindboggling. Black Metal cannot, and will never be the same.
For the band’s fifth full-length release – which will be released by Indie Recordings throughout Europe on April 26, and by Prosthetic Records in North America the following day – 1349 decided to suck out the fiercest and most potent energies from every single member and surroundings, channeling it into songs that are pulsating with uncanny atmospheres, rawness and nerve shattering intensity. The whole process of getting the material on record was like one long, exhausting black magic summoning that could not be allowed to go wrong.

New MOLLY HATCHET album in May 2010
January 26th, 2010
Molly Hatchet signed a worldwide deal with SPV/Steamhammer again. Their new studio album “Justice” will be released on May 31st, 2010.
The motto of the new Molly Hatchet release, “Justice”, was coined by guitarist Bobby Ingram years ago. “Southern rock ain’t no fake or hype!” was his comment on the basic philosophy of the band from Jacksonville/Florida. This basic honesty, which runs like a thread through the band’s career, remains one of Molly Hatchet’s outstanding features to this day. In 2010, the group’s six musicians play every single note with lifeblood and conviction, giving their countless fans hand-made rock music that operates totally without computers or digital samples.
