CHROME DIVISION - BOOZE, BROADS AND BEELZEBUB

Repost From Nuclear Blast Newsletter:

CHROME DIVISION, the Norwegian five-piece featuring DIMMU BORGIR frontman Shagrath (a.k.a. Stian Thoresen) on guitar, will release its second album, Booze, Broads And Beelzebub, later this year (exact release dates tba) via Nuclear Blast Records!
The follow-up to 2006’s Doomsday Rock ‘n’ Roll, Booze, Broads and Beelzebub was recorded at Studio Fredman in Sweden during January 2008 and contains a dozen or so tracks, including a cover of a classic ZZ TOP tune.
The material is described by the band as “a bit more varied than on ‘Doomsday Rock ‘n Roll’. A bit more metal, more fast stuff, but still the basics in filthy rock ‘n’ roll.”

The Funeral Pyre | Wounds

The Funeral Pyre’s ‘Wounds’ will be released on May 27th. Southern California’s The Funeral Pyre have put together a complex yet simple audio assault of melodic death/black metal sound with ‘Wounds’, the follow up to The Nature Of Betrayal. With a furious mix of guitars and heavy bass drums it has a sound that I would compare to Dissection and vocals similar to the Skeletonwitch’s Chance Garnett’s higher toned vocals or Abbath from Immortal. I said similar not ‘like’ or ‘just like’.

For ‘Wounds‘, the band has put the keyboards of the former years behind them and went with a more experimental approach with ‘Wounds‘ and has also added a guitar in the mix for more fills and solos. If your in to extreme metal, death metal or black metal I think you’ll really dig The Funeral Pyres ‘Wounds’. You can preorder it and get the CD/ T-shirt combo for $15.

Soulfly 3

I picked Soulfly 3 up yesterday at the same record store that  bought the xDEATHSTARx at. I think it’s quite clear that the selections there were few and far between. Anyway, I was hoping it would be cool since I haven’t bought any Soulfly records since their first. All I have to say is…ok. It’s a rather strange album to say the least. one track 9-11-01 is nothing but 32 seconds of silence. Guess it was a clever way have taking a moment of silence for 9-11. The rest of the album is kind of strange as well. I’m not really impressed. It was either Soulfly 3 or Primative. Anyone have any suggestions or comments about Primative or is that as big of a waste as 3?
