CADAVERIA

SCARLET proudly welcomes CADAVERIA! CADAVERIA is the new band leaded by the long-time vocalist of one of the most wellknown band from Italy, OPERA IX. Cadaveria and the drummer Flegias (aka NECRODEATH vocalist...) left their old band for personal reasons and after a momentary break they started
again with a new line-up and refreshed blood. CADAVERIA features NECRODEATH bass player also, involved both as musician and as artistical producer / engineer. CADAVERIA just finished recording the debut full-length album entitled 'The Shadows’ Madame'. It contains the following tracks: 'Spell', 'Declaration of Spiritual Independence', 'In Memory Of Shadows’ Madame', 'Circle Of Eternal Becoming', 'The Magic Rebirth', 'Black Glory', 'Absolute Vacuum'. The CD will be released in March 2002 by SCARLET (www.scarletrecords.it). Get ready for a new HORROR METAL masterpiece!

What most countersigns the band’s sound is surely the fact it has no boundaries and restrictions. CADAVERIA music moves from the extreme black to the most classical heavy metal, without refusing death metal and dark
contaminations. The guitar is monolithic and sharp, and cross the abyss during the solos. Bass lines are sick, distorted and evil, Marcelo Santos (Flegias) kicks more then ever, keyboards are prevalently orchestral but
aren’t afraid of mixing synthetic sounds, if needed. The voice is stinging, aggressive and becomes more desperate day by day. Lyrics deal with: life, death, magic, evil, unknown dimenions, darkness, nature, cosmic energies are main themes.

MALEVOLENT CREATION

OFFICIAL BAND'S STATEMENT

For the 2nd time in his career, vocalist Brett Hoffmann has been fired from the band. In 1997 when he was asked to rejoin his former band it was under the condition that there would be no more drug use and his drinking and lifestyle would have to change. All seemed to be well for a while, but when we started to tour his bad habits returned. We have considered replacing him since March when we returned from our European Tour and he was arrested at Miami International Airport for a drug related warrant from 1995. We figured we would give him one more chance when he was released from jail in April, but nothing has changed and he has if anything become worse. We have barely seen him and have not rehearsed with him since his release. We have a new album written that we are recording after the completion of our European Tour that starts in March and we refuse to torture ourselves any further. His permanent replacement is Hate Plow vocalist Kyle Symons. Kyle is no stranger to MALEVOLENT CREATION as most people know (HATE PLOW is Rob Barrett and Phil Fasciana's grind band) and was the only replacement we would even consider. Both Rob and myself have recorded 2 albums with Kyle and have done 2 tours with him and Hate Plow, and we know that this will
work. We have jammed Malevolent songs with Kyle many times over the years and often wondered what it would be like to have someone as brutal and intense as Kyle singing for Malevolent. Well, now we do!!!!!!!! And it is a fucking great feeling! With Kyle on vocals we will be able to go to new heights of musical extremities and perform more material from our earliest releases that Brett could no longer perform. At Kyle's request we are also re-recording a few songs from our 3rd album "Stillborn" when we record the new album. MALEVOLENT CREATION's touring and recording plans will go on as expected and Kyle will make his debut as MALEVOLENT CREATION's frontman March 13th in England where the band begins the first leg of their Europ ean Tour with KATAKLYSM and CATASTROPHIC. This marks the beginning of a new era for MALEVOLENT CREATION, and we are very excited about the future of the band. This change will enable us to do so much more musically and will make touring a lot easier for us and all involved. On behalf of myself, Rob Barrett, Gordon Sims and Dave Culross we would like to welcome our friend Kyle Symons into the band and we look forward to our upcoming tour and the creation of our 8th full-length release "The Will To Kill" in May. If anyone has any doubts about Kyle's abilities as vocalist, please go to the Hate Plow website or mp3.com and check out any song from HATE PLOW's 2 releases and your doubts will be crushed!

MEGADETH

MEGADETH TO RELEASE FIRST-EVER LIVE ALBUM ON MARCH 19, 2002; TWO-CD SET 'RUDE AWAKENING' CONTAINS 24 SONGS; 'RUDE AWAKENING' LIVE DVD AND VHS HOME VIDEO ALSO PLANNED

MEGADETH roared back on the heavy metal scene in 2001 with its Sanctuary Records debut 'The World Needs A Hero,' which debuted in the Billboard Top 15. The successful world tour for 'The World Needs a Hero' has yielded 'Rude Awakening,' MEGADETH's first-ever live album and 10th full-length release overall.

'Rude Awakening,' a two-CD set, will be released by Sanctuary on March 19,
2002. Vocalist / lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, lead guitarist Al Pitrelli, bass guitarist David Ellefson and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso recorded 24
skull-slamming songs for 'Rude Awakening' including hit singles, fan favorites and rare tracks. In fact, the set lists were chosen by the fans via voting through the band's official web site, www.megadeth.com.

The artwork for 'Rude Awakening' has been created by Storm Thorgerson, best
known for his PINK FLOYD and LED ZEPPELIN album covers.

The songs featured on 'Rude Awakening' are: "Dread & The Fugitive Mind,"
"Kill The King," "Wake Up Dead," "In My Darkest Hour," "Angry Again," "She
Wolf," "Reckoning Day," "Devil's Island," "Train Of Consequences," "A Tout Le Monde," "Burning Bridges," "Hangar 18," "Return To Hangar," "Hook In Mouth," "Almost Honest," "1000 Times Goodbye," "Mechanix," "Tornado Of Souls," "Ashes In Your Mouth," "Sweating Bullets," "Trust," "Symphony Of Destruction," "Peace Sells" and "Holy Wars ... The Punishment Due."

MEGADETH has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide since forming in 1985. The band is in the enviably rare position of earning mainstream critical acclaim, such as seven Grammy Award nominations.

Reaction to last year's MEGADETH tour was overwhelmingly positive:

"The two-hour set, like the band's catalog, was a relentless but technically pure jackhammer of solid, old-school metal" - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Fire and brimstone performance. The best impression Mustaine ever made" -
Indianapolis Star

"MEGADETH fed off the energy of the rabid crowd as Mustaine and his bandmates slashed through a 2-hour, 21-song set" - East Valley Tribune

'Rude Awakening' is also set for release as a live DVD and VHS home video on April 9, 2002. Extras include interviews, b-roll footage, studio footage of
the recording of 'The World Needs a Hero' and bonus concert footage. The
video was directed by Christoffer Saltzgaber and produced by Dean Karr's
company The Mine (Dave Matthews, CYPRESS HILL, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, IRON MAIDEN).

Sanctuary Records is part of The Sanctuary Group, one of the world's leading
developers of intellectual property rights (IPR's) in the fields of music,
television and entertainment and the owner of the world's largest independently owned catalogue of music and visual rights.

PAGAN RITES / AUTOPSY TORMENT
 
PAGAN RITES have recorded their next album, "Mark Of The Devil", which will be released shortly (apparently fairly Maiden-esque). Next gig will take place in march, at the Hellbanger festival in Germany, together with ROOT, DESTROYER 666 etc.
 
That's all I can tell about PAGAN RITES at the moment. If you want more info you could mail Devil Lee Rot (Thomas) at devilleerot@autopsytorment.com
 
AUTOPSY TORMENT has signed with Painkiller Records, Belgium, and will enter the studio to record the album "Tormentorium" (tentative title). Miriquidi Productions in Germany is just releasing the LP "Orgy With The Dead", featuring the entire Orgy With The Dead demo + a track called "Gory To The Brave".
 
Sexual Goat Licker is no more part of AT or PR, he quit for personal reasons. In PR, the NIFELHEIM brothers are taking care of bass & drum duties. In AT, former ANCIENT REBIRTH drummer Thomas Hedlund is taking care of the skinbashing.
 
AT will attend the "Under The Black Sun Open Air" festival, with bands like
TSJUDER, NAGLFAR and a lot of other bands. We're also talking about 2 gigs in Switzerland and Rene of Miriquidi Productions is fixing us up with other gigs in Germany around July, when the Open Air festival takes place outside Berlin.
 
We have a Russian, Lord Antonius, taking care of our new page (which isn't online yet), and it will use the same DNS as now, www.autopsytorment.com
 
Other stuff: Devil Lee Rot has released his second personal project of Devil Lee Rot. Several releases are taking place, like "Darkest Rituals" 7'EP (old AT demo), "Moonfog" LP (another AT demo), Devil Lee Rot 7". So stuff is happening.
 
We even got a mail from a person in Novosibirsk running a small, private radiostation called "Radio Penguin" that wanted us to send him a demo to play, and I am going to send it to him. Imagine, AUTOPSY TORMENT - "Orgy With The Dead", on Radio Penguin in Sibiria.
 
Well, that was the updates so far...
 
Regards;
Daniel of AUTOPSY TORMENT

The European INCANTATION and ACHERON tour for February was cancelled, due to INCANTATION / ACHERON drummer Kyle Severn hurting his back and being unable to play the shows. Severn was going to play with both INCANTATION and ACHERON for the tour. But the good news is Severn is getting better and should be back to good health very soon. Both INCANTATION and ACHERON are planning to re-schedule tours in Europe for later this year.
