Halcyon Way, has parted ways with rhythm guitarist Zane. Zane left the band on amicable terms and Halcyon Way wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

Zane spoke about his decision to leave the band:

“After 6 years in one of the greatest metal bands ever, I have decided to leave for the sake of family and personal health. I have enjoyed my time in Halcyon Way and it has been a life defining tenure. Me and the guys all remain brothers and I look forward to everything Halcyon Way has to offer the metal world in the years to come. It was a true privilege to write and contribute to the band, and to hear what was in my head fleshed out on the albums was a joy all its own. See all of you guys in the front row at the next HW show!  I’m currently working on a project called “Bishop Lake” with an EP due out in Spring 2012.  I also have a horror punk/metal band called School For Morticians slated to break wind sometime in mid 2012.”

Guitarist Jon Bodan shared his thoughts on Zane leaving:

“As much as it pains us that our brother Zane has had to step away from Halcyon Way, we have nothing but respect for his decision and wish him nothing but the best.  We’ve gone to war with him for a long time, and he will truly be missed.  Keep an eye out for his new projects as I’m sure they’re going to be killer!  We would also like to thank Eric Roberts, Rob Fisher from Void Of Reason, and Mike Perrone for filling in with us on several live dates when Zane’s situation was a little unclear – you guys were a big help to us and we appreciate it.”

In the meantime the band is auditioning new guitarists. Interested parties can contact the band at auditions@halcyonway.com

This will not put a damper on Atlanta’s premier metal band’s European tour this Spring with Delain and Trillium. Halcyon Way is still planning on bringing their powerful mixture of heavy, punishing riffs and infectious melodies to Europe. The tour kicks off April 26th in Hamburg, Germany and winds up May 16th in London.

Mark Reale, founding guitarist of metal icons RIOT has sadly passed away. He had been in a coma for the past 2 weeks, and died in a San Antonio hospital, as a result of complications from Crohns Disease, which he has been suffering with for most of his life. He was 56

Mark was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1955. He grew up listening to The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore and lists George Harrison as one of his greatest influences. After attending concerts by Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer and Edgar Winter he decided to become a rock guitarist, forming the band Riot in 1975 who are still active today. Many music magazines and critics have called him one of the most underrated heavy metal guitarists ever.

Mark Reale has been the principal songwriter and main creative force behind Riot starting with the band’s 1977 debut album Rock City. The group’s most acclaimed album was 1981′s seminal Fire Down Under, the last of three studio albums to feature original vocalist Guy Speranza. Other notable records include Restless Breed (1982), the band’s comeback album, Thundersteel (1988), and its follow-up, The Privilege of Power (1990). Riot’s most recent album was Army of One in 2006. Riot has toured all around the world and been a support act for major acts such as Kiss, AC/DC, Sammy Hagar, Molly Hatchet, and Rush while maintaining a particularly strong fanbase in Japan and Continental Europe.

After Riot’s temporary breakup following the Born In America (1983) release, Reale formed a short-lived outfit named Narita with former members of S.A. Slayer, including future Riot bassist Don Van Stavern. The band recorded a sole demo in 1984 before calling it quits. Reale decided to re-activate Riot which led to a new record deal with CBS Records and the Thundersteel album in 1988. In 1998, Reale co-founded the group Westworld with vocalist Tony Harnell of TNT fame. Westworld released three studio albums and one live disc between 1999 and 2002.

So, Slipknot’s Clown is  going to give you his fucked up take on mayhem.  All of which to prepare you for the Rockstar Mayhem Festival.  Make sure you check out the bands and dates and all that shit here.

Clown states: “SLIPKNOT is headlining this summer’s Mayhem festival and it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve ever felt, sensed, or seen. You miss this, you miss everything. Everyone seems to think that there’s a chance we’re gonna go away. This is the farthest thing from the truth. Stay sic and don’t ever judge us.”

Not really much else to say except just watch the damn video.

http://earacherecords.com/myspace/savage_dp_mar12.jpgSavage Messiah have confirmed their first ever headlining shows in the UK, with support from Chicago thrashers and labelmates Diamond Plate.

Frontman David Silver comments:

“We’re all really looking forward to our first ever headlining dates.  With the positive response we got on the Evile tour, coupled with the stellar reaction to ‘Plague of Conscience’, we thought it was about time to go out and put on a real Savage Messiah performance.  Our intention is to tour heavily in support of the new record, so expect to see plenty more gig announcements in the coming weeks/months, but this is a great start and having label mates Diamond Plate playing with us is only going to make it an even better experience.  So make sure you buy tickets, get down to the gigs and we promise to put on a killer show – we’ve got some cool ideas about how to make these shows a bit special – definitely not to be missed!”

See Savage Messiah and Diamond Plate live at the following shows:
Mar. 18 – York, UK – The Duchess
Mar. 19 – Birmingham, UK – Birmingham Ballroom
Mar. 20 – London, UK – Barfly

Iron Maiden will be releasing a double disc DVD of their performance in Santiago, Chile called EN VIVO! and the band has released the trailer for that DVD. The release date for EN VIVO! is March 27 for the US and March 26 for the rest of the world.

Check out the trailer below!

The DVD will be released on Blu-Ray, and the audio will be used for a soundtrack album. You’ll be able to download both, the DVD and the soundtrack, digitally on the Internet as well.

Steve Harris, Maiden’s bassist and founder, writes:

“For The Final Frontier Tour it was really important to me that we filmed in South America as we’re always so overwhelmed by the fans’ reaction when we go to that part of the world and I wanted to reflect that in the filming. After much consideration we chose the Santiago show as we felt it was one of our best performances of the entire Tour and to play at the prestigious Estadio Nacional was a landmark moment for us. For reasons known to our fans, it took a long time before we got to play our first show in Chile, and once we did get to play a show, the response was so phenomenal we just had to keep coming back and it’s got better and better each time!

Head over to IronMaiden.com to get your preorder in today!
