I'd like to personally know why. And on a real happy note: Screams of Abel (the real zine) #1 will be out in March! Despite the fact that we have no front cover, back cover or an available laser scanner until the publisher returns from Chicago.. ** The News ** Well, here we go again.. a few weeks ago I posted about news I heard from sources saying that SACRED WARRIOR broke up, however, finding out that the band is indeed together and that they have a new bassist, formerly of the band KEEPER.. well, here's Pt. 2! After a recent conversation last weekend with Roger Martinez, VENGEANCE RISING has officially broken up!! Roger let myself and Dave Kindervater of This Prophecy Magazine know that VR has called it quits and that he's going into a new band that will be more Seattle grunge-rock.. more details as they crop up (like who breaks up next week! ARGH!) Also in the news, the GALACTIC COWBOYS have announced their official split with producer Sam Taylor, following KING'S X from last fall.. the Cowboys' new album, "Space In Your Face", will be out April 13 on DGC Records.. On a MUCH happier note, San Diego death metallers RITUAL are getting a new producer for their next demo due to complaints about the production on "Crematorium of the Deceased".. they have also obtained their old bass player back and a new guitarist, making them a 5-piece now, and their new material "destroys their old stuff"... New bands on the scene include a lot of death metal bands from around the world! OBLATION is a new death band from Texas while CORPSE is a new death band from Kentucky.. finally FLESHWALKER is a new (duh!) death metal band from Australia working on their debut demo to be out in March.. DISCARNATED's debut release on CD will be out in March as well and can be pre-ordered by writing and getting info from their band publicist Shade at: Discarnated, c/o Shade, 16 Cumming St., Blackwood SA 5051 Australia.. Atlanta brutallers FINAL JUDGEMENT will have their debut album, "Desolating Sacrilege", this spring on Anastasia Records (which will be distributed in the Christian markets by R.E.X. Records).. bassist Todd Davis informed me that their new sound will be early Slayer mixed with "tribal drum rhythms".. CATHERINE SPEED is a new brutal/weird band from Florida that features a female vocalist/bassist named Jennifer.. the music is described as a cross between Cannibal Corpse and White Zombie.. weird... ** Cornerstone '93 Update ** Some recent additions have been made to the Cornerstone '93 lineup! Aside from BRIDE, GUARDIAN and REZ, there will be more heavy bands, according to JPUSA/Cornerstone organizer Henry Huang, "a Metal Cornerstone"!!! Expect to see BELIEVER, THE CRUCIFIED, TOURNIQUET, MORTIFICATION and just added.. DELIVERANCE and LIVING SACRIFICE... and also on the smaller stages expect to see CONSECRATOR, DROP DEAD, FINAL JUDGEMENT, THE RISEN, PRECIOUS DEATH and REDEMPTION.. Virginia progressive speedsters RECLUSE CHANT are also planning to be there as well.. So, if you don't go, unless you can't afford it, you're a poser! Ok, I'll be nice, you MIGHT be a poser! ** MARCH 3rd.. BELIEVER, "Dimensions" (although no word from REX) ** Speaking of LIVING SACRIFICE, it has been brought to my attention that their new material is far heavier than even their latest album "Nonexistent", in fact, DJ, bassist/vocalist, informed me that their guitars and songs are now tuned down to B and his vocals are far lower, along the lines of Morgoth/Suffocation.. also at Cornerstone '93 they will have Rick Taylor, vocalist of THE RISEN, doing a duet with DJ on some Living Sacrifice earlier songs including "No Grave Concern", on stage.. DJ is also planning to fill in on the bass position current vacant in The Risen at the Fest.. also, according to CIRCLE OF DUST and BRAINCHILD frontman Scott Albert, a Living Sacrifice/Circle of Dust/Brainchild maxi single will be available later this spring mixed and produced by Albert.. BRIDE will be in concert tomorrow (2/26) at Grace Church outside of Fredericksburg VA, and Sat 2/27 at Potomac State College in Keyser WV.. local Virginia metal band CROWN OF THORNS will open for Bride at the Fredericksburg show.. Scott Hunstad of REDEMPTION, when not with his band in South Dakota cuz he's at RPI in NY, jams with another band called MORNING STAR that is hard rock/metal sound.. Redemption will be recording their first demo later this year and Jon Reich of Redemption let me know that it's along the lines of HOLY SOLDIER.. Kyle David of SCARLET RAYNE has formed a new band, a funk/metal project called SOULSCAPE.. they are still based in Wisconsin.. And finally, Delaware grunge/metal band RAGMAN has been making the underground news! Lead singer Eric Hutts has recently obtained distribution rights through major secular record companies and has formed his own small label, Alphabet Records.. they also finally have a full lineup and are planning some shows near Philadelphia in the near future.. ** End of Soae ** Phil -- The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Campus Office for Information Technology, or the Experimental Bulletin Board Service. internet: laUNChpad.unc.edu or 152.2.22.80
