UNSUNG HEROES RECORDS  UHR celebrates the crucifixion tradition with a new release of filthy blasphemy...:
- UHR055 - GOMORRAH - "In Praise of the Dark Lord" - A scant fourmonths after their debut, Caligula and Rasputin have come together and recorded more of their hideously raw black metal. It's the same kind of stuff but a bit more involved too...great sick blasphemous black metal in the greatest olde tradition. All the master's children will love this...
- UHR is working with Delaware band Chemikiller to put out the Venom Online tribute (at least parts of it) on CDR. Stay tuned for details.
- Vic is still recording for the DEATH BEAST project with Dementor.  Expected release is May 2002. Writing is going slow...
- DISTRO NEWS!! - UHR items are now in stock at UNDERCOVER RECORDS in  Germany, and their items are on their way to UHR now. We've received new items from Decius Productions as well, and they will have some of our newer titles shortly. UHR is also NOW IN STOCK at Inner Evil distro in Japan, and one of their titles is on our distro list now.  We've also completed a distro trade with Nuclear Hell Distro for the<B>HellVomit</B> album <I>Jesus Can FUCK OFF!!</I> and with Fatal Records (Fra) for an ultra-rare <B>BEHERIT</B> compilation of early rarities. See below and the homepage for more details.
- Though the numbers still dwindle, the MEGIDDO/RAMPAGE split tribute to HELLHAMMER is STILL available - so don't go buying off any e-gay fags... We're almost out (down to 5 copies as I write this), but remember that some of our distributors may have some copies...
- Due to lack of demand or the wishes of bands in question, a few UHR titles have been allowed to go out of print. Also, keep a watch on our distro list as some more titles have sold out recently (most notably the Song of Melkor/Humanicide split).
As always, get the latest in UHR news at the website: http://unsungheroesrecords.cjb.net/

MANOWAR- GODS OF WAR TOUR http://www.manowar.com The Kings of Metal MANOWAR, have announced their first North American tour in support of the long awaited "Warriors of the World." The first full length studio album since "Louder than Hell". In true MANOWAR fashion the band will nearly incite a riot every show with the addition to the  bill of IMMORTAL, Catastrophic, and new comers HavocHate. The well rounded out  bill
will start off in North America on April 27th for 4 weeks straight!  MANOWAR 4 stringer and front-man Joey DeMaio had this to say: "We are on the path of death and destruction. We plan to destroy every place we play and to leave our fans with the spirit of true heavy  metal!"

MARDUK the replacement for drummer Fredrik Andersson is Emil Dragutinovic

ABADDON INCARNATE Following the successful of their 2nd NADIR- Abaddon Incarnate will embark on a tour as support to UK'S Gore/Deathsters DESECRATION (Copro Records). 

MEGADETH founder Dave Mustaine has announced that the group will be disbanding -the guitarist / vocalist has been diagnosed with Radial Neuropathy, an injury that caused severe nerve damage to his left arm and has left him unable to play the guitar - in Dave's words: "I have decided to exit Megadeth, and explore other areas of the music business where I might make a contribution without being able to play my instrument" - with the help of physical therapy, Mustaine hopes to play the guitar again

BROKEN HOPE as the result of internal strife and organizational difficulties, the bandhas decided to break up - guitarist Jeremy Wagner and vocalist Scott Creekmore will use material intended for the next Broken Hope record as the basis for a new, as of yet unnamed, death / grind project

MY DYING BRIDE full-time live session keyboardist Yasmin Ahmed has left the band as she cannot commit enough time to rehearsals and gigs and rather than do it half heartedly she has decided to stop

SOLSTICE the British act has decided to call it quits as band members felt restricted within the doom genre - founding guitarist Rich Walker will now concentrate on his label, Miskatonic Foundation

HEARSE former Arch Enemy growler, Johan Liiva, has reappeared in this band alongside drummer Max Thornell and guitarist Mattias Ljung

DEW-SCENTED the band has added Hendrik Bache on second guitar 

OZZY OSBOURNE recent reissues of 'Blizzard Of Ozz' and 'Diary Of A Madman' include bass and drum tracks re-recorded by bassist Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, respectively - this was presumably done in order to avoid claims made by original band members Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley that they are not getting fair credit / profits from the albums

OPEN HELL FEST Hello everybody,this is Honza Kapak of Open Hell Fest / Avenger writting to you. Deep and
sincere apologizes for the enormous delay, I have been again in big troubles with my PC and have had no access to internet for over 2 weeks. It made myself very sorry and nervous as the time is running so fast and works on Open Hell Festival haven't been moving... But now I am finally able to start working again and this is the reason of this e-mail.I would like to excuse for such a form of this e-mail: I am writting to all bands at once. I would wish to write you everyone separate, but since these are too many mails to work out, it would take several days to answer fairly every message I have received. And I want to inform all concerned bands at once now, letting know what are the chances of each. I would like to say big thanx for all promomaterials we have received it is mostly very good stuff and we were very much pleased receiving it. We took our time to listen to every minute of your music properly and it led us to the following result - We can say we did sort out something like three groups out of all bands willing to play at our festival: Group 1: These are the bands which we like the best out of all promos sent to us, we would be more than proud to let these great acts perform at our festival. Many of them have been already disscussed before, some of them may need some more negotiations. No matter how much we spoke about the possible performance, I would like to ask you to contact me soonest possible to
confirm taking part and finalizing the conditions agreement. It concerns these acts:
CENTINEX (swe), DESASTER (ger), DIABOLICAL (swe), IN AETERNUM (swe), AVERSE
SEFIRA (USA), MAY RESULT (serb)
 Group 2:
Here is simply something between "yes" and "no". We like the music as well, but it is so hard to choose just a few the right acts. It depends much now on negotiations. There is still a real chance for the bands but please get
prepared for possible making abatements of your conditions. Let's say this is fight and the best combinations of good music / good price / fast reactions win. Maybe you find this my announcement impolite, but please,
understand my situation. I would like to finish fest line-up within next week or two, I have been unfortunately terribly delayed, and I must find a way how to figure it out. The next a few days have to clear up everything.
This category belows to : 
DETONATION (hol), PRIMORDIAL (USA), BERSERK (a), DARKFALL (a), GURKKHAS (fra), RAGNAROK (nor), SUDDEN DEATH (ger), HELLBOX (fin), PREJUDICE (bel),OBTEST (Lith), THRONEUM (pol), VESPERIAN SORROW (USA), KOROZY (bulg), TAAKE (nor), SYMBIONTIC (ger)
BEWARE : We will most possibly able to pick max. 3 - 5 bands out of this list - so the competition is still very big
Group 3:
We mostly still like the music, but the competion has been simply too strong and we are sorry to announce you that we shall not be able to let you play at Open Hell Festival 2002. If you ask us, we can return your promo
materials as we are no rip offs. Since sending your stuff had no effect, we ourselves think it would be fair to return it back to you. SORRY GUYS :
NATTAS (swe), KILLING MODE (engl - no promo delivered yet), THE FORGOTTEN (USA), ENTER VI (austr), SARCASM (Fra), Seraph (a), ANAEL (ger), YAOTZIN (hol), HATRED (hol), RAIN (Swi), MANGLED (hol), BESTIAL MOCKERY (swe) and many many more who have been acknowledged already before....
 The last words: Many of you have been in touch also with Filip of Agonia promotion. I would like to thank to Filip for neverending enormous help, he is very important festival partner when it comes to communication,promotion, graphic appereances etc. Despite this fact, I and my brother are the only financial investors for the fest that's why Filip does not take any responsibility for picking the bands for the fest. I am more than sure that Filip was everytime doing his best for the fest, but the final negotiations MUST be all done with me exclusively. All concerned people are kindly asked to contact me personally as possible as possible. I know it has been my
fault that the final dealing has been delayed so much and I would like to apologize once more. But the time is merciless and we must be fast now. I swear being fucking fast with my answers now, giving it all my time for a
couple of days now.... Well, I hope not to have forgotten anything... OK, thank you all for attention and hope to hear from you soon Cheers Honza

SERBERUS They signed a world wide deal with Crash Inc/Pavement Music. The  first full length album will include 7 songs and artwork by Jacek Wisniewski (Vader, Rebaelliun, Decapitated etc) and will see the light of day sometime in April or May. The band recently finished recording a song for a Slayer tribute coming out on World War 3 music ( http://www.ww3music.com). They chose the song "Ghost of War" off the album "South of
Heaven." and they are  very happy with the result and is the fastest recorded song the band has ever done. Look for a late summer release. There has also been a change in the band's line up. Serberus and drummer Corey Melanson have parted ways. A new skinbasher is Jeremy Portz. There are a very limited amount of "Our Dying Grace" eps left and they will not print more.

HORROR RECORDS
IMPALER:The "The Mutants rise again" 7" EP has been doing well and over 550 copies are gone from the Horror Records crypt already. You can expect the release to be sold out soon. www.impalershockrock.com
BLOOD THIRSTY DEMONZ:The "Sabbath - Solve et Coagula" LP has been received well and this is one of the releases that shows that there actually does exist new bands which are very good! The band is currently preparing a new release, but the label and/or format has not been decided yet. Meanwhile the band has a new live tape entitled "Bloody Live" (includes 4 brandnew songs) for sale for only Euro 3/$ 3. It is available from:
Montesano Cristian, Via Brogioli 7, I-21012 Cassano Magnago (VA), Italy.
CRUCIFIER: The band will soon record and release the long awaited "Stronger than Passing Time" LP/CD through Death To Mankind (Spain). After that the band will record the "Trampled under Cloven Hooves" 7" EP which will hold about 18 minutes of blasphemy.
ABYSMAL GRIEF: This is one of the magic moments in musick. The band plays extremely doomy Horror Metal dedicated to the art of necromancy. The band's heavy use of church organs creates and extremely sinister atmosphere of horror and this will for sure be some of the darkest musick you have ever listened to. The band has just finished the recording and mixing of the "Hearse" 7" EP (b/w "Borgo Pass") and the sound is massive. The release of "Hearse" is scheduled for sometime in May and will be followed by an LP entitled "Cultus Lugubris" later this year! www.abysmalgrief.com
VICTIMIZER:After listening intensely to their "Unholy Banners of War" demo and having a few (?) drinks with vocalist Killheiler, it was decided that also this band is to have their debut vinyl release on Horror Records! The band plays thrashing Black Metal with an aggressive attitude, and the planned 7" EP is to be entitled "Communist Crusher". It will feature the title track (known from their demo), a cover of Alice Cooper's "Prince of Darkness" and two new songs called "Tod oder Kanz" and "Bonebreaking Armageddon Metal". Meanwhile you should check out their demo while it is still available. Expect extreme Metal hostility! www.victimizer.dk3.com
STRYCHNOS:The band failed to record anything after all and therefore this release has been cancelled, and to be honest, perhaps the long talked about "Strychnostick Madness" 7" EP will never be recorded and released anywhere else either…time will tell…
FEIKN: Not much news here, but HORROR still tell everyone that this album is worth waiting for!

RANDY CASTILLO sadly, the drummer lost his battle with cancer on March 26 - most famous in metal circles for his long run with the Ozzy Osbourne band, Randy also recently played for Motley Crue

IRON MAIDEN Steve Harris has responded to controversy surrounding the new live release 'Rock In Rio' with a declaration that there are no vocal overdubs on the album - he does admit, however, that there was some cutting and pasting of vocal lines from that show in order to fill voids left when Bruce Dickinson asked the audience to sing along with the song

IMMORTAL bassist Iscariah has decided to leave the band - according to Iscariah: "The band is getting bigger and with that follows complete dedication to the force. If not, you are bound to fall on your ass. To prevent this event, I quit. It is of my beliefs that if you have a single doubt, then leave."

PENTACLE News:Hey Metalheads.
- At last!!! The testpressings for the "Ancient Death" MLP have arrived at the Damnation-office!!! The sound-quality was very good, so the green light for the final pressing has been given. They are supposed to be ready in a couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed!  - Maybe some of you remember that a Possessed tribute was meant to be released. Unfortunatly the original label who intended to release this unholy tribute has vanished from the face of the earth. (At least I never heard from them again since almost 2 years) The good news
is that Jeff Becerra has given approval for Dark Realm Records to release this tribute. I'll keep you informed about the progress of this release.  - Check out our homepage it has just been updated. A new interview and some pictures will be added this weekend. The official homepage address has been changed :
