Shadows Fall To Join White Trash Thrash Metal Comeback Tour 
Shadows Fall have just confirmed that they will be teaming up with Lamb Of 
God, Darkest Hour, Unearth, Scissorfight and From Autumn To Ashes for ten 
East Coast dates at the end of May. Featuring an all-star line-up of the new 
wave of American metal and hardcore, the tour has been (appropriately) titled 
the White Trash Thrash Metal Comeback tour. The tour kicks off just as 
Shadows Fall will be completing the recording of their highly anticipated 
third album, The Art Of Balance. The band’s previous album, Of One Blood, was 
one of the most acclaimed metal albums of the millennium and helped land the 
band on tours with bands like Amen, Hatebreed, King Diamond and In Flames. 
The White Trash Thrash Metal Comeback tour will give audiences in the New 
England and Mid-Atlantic regions a chance to preview the new material before 
The Act Of Balance is released sometime this fall. 
"If Shadows Fall is exemplary of the future, I think I’ll stick around for 
the next century! " - Metal Maniacs

OLYMPIC NEWS
Blazing forth with a new style of extreme black metal, ABSU will awaken new 
and old minds with a new path of progression and occult mythology. The third 
installment in the trilogy, “Tara” will reveal itself to expand the confines 
of what you once knew could be humanly achieved in the spectrum of heavy 
music. Drummer/vocalist Proscriptor tells a tale of the Cythraul Klan of 
Celtic lore complete with bagpipe intro/outro to be followed by some of the 
most original, compelling, and complex music ABSU has released to date. A 
40-page detailed book complete with lyrics, paintings, glossary and detailed 
text round out the entire experience. With an old-school nod to legends such 
as Slayer, King Diamond, & Bathory, ABSU has created a realm of heavy music 
all its own while not betraying its influences. Lightning fast guitar 
wizardry backed by inhumanly precise drum patterns will have you pressing ‘
repeat’ on your cd players in order to absorb the apocolypse that has just 
reckoned with your eardrums. 

CENTURIAN has created another cosmic masterpiece of black metal in its most 
twisted form. “Liber ZarZax” tells of the Book of Power of the Tenth Aethyr 
called ‘Zax’. With titles like “Ritually Slaughtered for Satan”, “Speech of 
the Serpent” and “Commited to Hell” you know that CENTURIAN is out to reek 
havoc on your soul. The end result is total blasphemy with psychotic musical 
patterns and demonic vocals. Satan never sounded so good pressed on cd! 

And while we are exploring the various caverns of heavy music, DIM-MAK (Ex 
RIPPING CORPSE) has returned with another poisonous strike displaying their 
style of ‘cobra-core’ aggression mixing martial arts themes with 
hardcore/technical precision. “Intercepting Fist” is truly unique and any 
fans of the hardcore movement and intricate, technical guitar stylings will 
want to give this a try.

SAVATAGE AND AL PITRELLI REJOIN FORCES
Savatage would like to welcome back world renowned guitarist Al Pitrelli from 
his time in Megadeth. 
“Me and the boys have remained friends in the past couple of years, touring 
together on a lot of the same bills last summer. I was also fortunate enough 
to work closely with Paul, Jon, and Bob as their musical director on one of 
the touring companies of Trans-Siberian Orchestra this past season. I can’t 
wait to get back in the studio with the all the boys and make a great 
Savatage record!” says Al Pitrelli. 

Founding member Jon Oliva says “For the past 5 years we haven’t recorded 
without Al in either Savatage or Trans-Siberian Orchestra. When we heard Dave 
Mustaine was calling it quits we felt it was natural that he step up his 
involvement with us.” 

Bassist Johnny Lee Middleton continues, “We would like to thank Jack Frost 
for the time he spent with us. He was a wonderful friend and a total 
gentlemen, as well as a great performer and musician. We hope to work with 
him in the future."

HELLOWEEN RELEASE 2-CD ANTHOLOGY
HELLOWEEN have been among Germany's most successful exports of the last 
decade and a half, selling gold status records throughout the world. The 
Hamburg quintet has carved a formidable reputation as a take-no-prisoners 
live act, winning them die-hard fan followings everywhere, and influencing an 
entire sub genre of Heavy Metal music. 

Metal-Is Records, a division of the Sanctuary Records Group, is pleased to 
unveil 'Treasure Chest', the defining HELLOWEEN anthology! This fantastic 29 
song compilation illustrates the band's entire career, from the debut EP 
'Helloween' through the last studio effort 'The Dark Ride'. 

"We intended to pack the capacity of the CDs up to the very limit," explains 
founding member and lead guitarist Michael Weikath. The 2-CD set clocks in at 
over 157 minutes of pure HELLOWEEN at its very best. 

'Treasure Chest' also features brand new remixes of some of the band's best 
known songs, like "Dr. Stein" and "Keeper Of The Seven Keys", by famed 
producer/engineer Charlie Bauerfeind (Blind Guardian, Halford, MotĂśrhead, 
Gamma Ray, etc.), and this collection has the honor of being compiled and 
prepared by members of the band! In addition to the beautiful cover art, the 
package highlights include many rare photographs of the band going back to 
their formative years, a detailed 'family tree' of HELLOWEEN history, as well

CRADLE OF FILTH SPAWN DVD/VHS!
The world's most notorious & lurid black metal band, Cradle Of Filth, is 
taking the next evolutionary step to infecting the masses with their 
often-shocking yet vibrant presence. The band is bringing their singular and 
extravagant live performance into your living room with the Heavy, Left 
Handed and Candid home video DVD/VHS. The video is slated for an April 30th

Heavy, Left Handed and Candid was filmed at the band's sold-out Rock City

streamed around the world via the Internet generating 600,000 hits and close 
to 12,000 user sessions via the UK host alone. 

The show spotlighted everything that has made Cradle Of Filth the most 
provocative live metal band the world has seen: a stunning light show, freaks 
and stilt-walkers and the notorious Circus Of Horrors, fire-breathing and, of 
course, Cradle's distinctive brand of metal shock-ambiance led by enigmatic, 
throat-scorching ringleader Dani Filth. 

This DVD release includes the entire 73-minute Rock City concert (containing 
music spanning the band's entire career - touching on everything from the 
debut The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh through the most recent Bitter Suites 
To Succubi); PLUS the following superb bonus features:

last release Bitter Suites To Succubi) 
***"Scorched Earth Erotica" - Very Nasty, Uncut Gory Version 
***"Born In A Burial Gown" - Sub Original Version (music from the band's last 
release Bitter Suites To Succubi) 
***The Blair Twit Project - A behind-the-scenes look at Cradle romping in 
their natural element 
***Cradle Of Fear - Horror Movie Trailer (starring Dani Filth & featuring 
Cradle's music) 
***Circus Of Horrors - Creature Feature (a brief look at the infamous Circus 
Of Horrors from the Nottingham Rock City Show) 
***Gallery Of the Grotesque - Downloads & Web Links 
***A complete Cradle Of Filth discography 

VHS release features: 
***Nottingham Show (77 minutes)

STORMLORD NEWS
The Extreme Epic metal combo from Rome, Stormlord, just added a new guitar 
player to the official line up: Giampaolo Caprino (Run With Wolves, The 
Legend Of The Sleeping River, Perfidy Biblical). This choice was accomplished 
in order to reach a higher live impact and a much complete performance of the 
"At The Gates Of Utopia" songs during the live performances. In the meanwhile 
Stormlord continue to spread their music around the world being published 
worldwide by Scarlet Records except for Japan (Soundholic), Mexico (Oz 
Records), Taiwan (Magnum Music), Russia (Irond) and Bulgary (Wizard Records, 
tape version).

ICED EARTH NEWS
www.icedearth.com
 To celebrate ICED EARTH's highly anticipated North American headlining 
21-city tour Century Media will be giving away an autographed ICED EARTH 
discography (including the Melancholy EP but minus the box set) through our 
website. More details on the contest soon. When asked about the success of 
the European tour, the excitement in guitarist/songwriter Jon Schaffer's 
voice simply could NOT be contained: "I knew in my heart that we could 
headline with no support bands in Europe.  I knew it.  There were a lot of 
people who were skeptical, but I had the last laugh.  90% of the shows were 
sold-out..." Despite a fiasco at the Hungarian border where the band's 
merchandise was seized and their pyro supplies confiscated just before their 
show in Vienna, the band arrived in time to perform the promised 
two-and-a-half hour show.

JAG PANZER NEWS    
www.jagpanzer.com
 JAG PANZER's self-produced DVD, "The Era of Kings and Conflict," will be for 
sale at their merchandise booth at all the Iced Earth, In Flames & Jag Panzer 
shows on the North American tour.  With videos of "Take to the Sky," "The 
Silent," "Cold is the Blade," "King at a Price" and "Iron Eagle," it includes 
a bootleg live video shot at the Z7 in Switzerland last year, interview 
footage with past members, and a visit to their old practice space (John 
Tetley's mom's house).  For those unable to attend any of the tour dates, the 
DVD will be for sale via the band's website. Jag Panzer guitarist Mark 
Briody: “I've always felt that good metal is the finest music in the world, 
yet it gets unnoticed because it's viewed as not being 'cutting edge.' So I 
want to show the world that it doesn't take a techno band to do something as 
sophisticated as release a DVD. Yes, the 'dumb' metalheads have figured out 
bit-rate calculations, field rendering order, non-linear editing, green 
screens and all the other fun things that come with producing professional 
video content. It was a lot of work producing the DVD, but I had a great time 
doing it and it was a good learning experience. I certainly understand 
Century Media's position on releasing the DVD on a later date. The DVD market 
for heavy metal is still in its infancy. But to me it was very important to 
get the DVD out early, so we don't become 'just another band doing a DVD.' So 
we worked out a compromise. We will create and produce a limited run of the 
DVD ourselves. This release is for North America only. Century Media may 
release the DVD (or parts of the content) in Europe, but I don't know of any 
specific plans. The DVD may also appear as a release in North America on 
Century Media some time in the future.” In other band news, lead vocalist 
Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin shares: "There is a new addition to the TYRANT 
WORLD.  His name is MARCUS WILLIAM CONKLIN. Am anticipating with great joy 
the BANG YOUR HEAD festival in Germany this June. Playing with both JAG and 
TITAN will be the highlight of my born days.  TITAN FORCE is rehearsing with 
a new guitarist as we speak.

SENTENCED NEWS
www.sentenced.org
 The latest news on the upcoming album (not yet scheduled for release) from 
guitarist Sami Lopakka:
 "I’m having major difficulties when I try to describe the new album to you. 
That is probably because the album is so many things at the same time. On one 
hand the album has songs that are more rocking turbo-boost and aggressive 
than what we have had in years. On the other hand there are songs that are 
more mellow and very atmospheric. Even the songs that are music-wise somewhat 
alike, have been drawn as far as possible from each other with lyrics, 
production and different instruments. 
You can surely recognize the band on THE COLD WHITE LIGHT, the changes are 
not that radical and this is not an experimental album. Although you might 
find some similarities to our earlier albums AMOK, DOWN, FROZEN and CRIMSON, 
there are some elements in both music and lyrics that we have never had 
before. On the whole I think the band sounds fresh and the playing is 
relaxed, thanks to the break we took before this album. With THE COLD WHITE 
LIGHT we have also given a lot of thought to the arrangements. They are now 
way more interesting and different than f. ex. on CRIMSON, which was 
arrangement-wise pretty dull.  I can only speak for myself, but I honestly 
think that the new album contains some of our finest songs and best lyrics 
yet."

                    ! MEGADETH SPLIT UP !

                      DAVE MUSTAINE -- FOUNDER, VOCALIST, LEAD GUITARIST OF
METAL PIONEERS MEGADETH -- SUFFERS SERIOUS INJURY, ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE FROM

------------------------------------------------------------
                    Mustaine formed Megadeth in 1983, after he was fired
from Metallica. This would have been a setback for most people, but not
Mustaine. He was determined to start his own group. The music would be
uncompromisingly heavy with intricately precise guitar lines, and the lyrics
would take an unflinching look at serious subjects like the dark side of
humanity and politics. ...click here for more info...

Updated IRON PEGASUS List April 2002

April is the month of AGATUS' return on the winged horse..... "The
Weaving Fates" is the band's second brandnew album , presenting Hellenic
Black Metal with atmosphere and melodies like we all know it from the
glorious early days but this time with real drums that clearly confirm
that their drummer is one of the best around in that genre. On the other
side we have a real blast from the past, from an archaeic temple rises
DOLMEN, the old band from Shaftiel and Equitant (now ABSU)..... an old
Demo rehearsal recording from '89 now on limited noble LP called "On The
Eve Of War",  including raw and unpolished,  thunderous and neck
twisting old Thrash of the rawest kind, traditional as it can be.
Nothing for sound fetishists, but for lovers of the old days of heavy
Thrashing wickedness.
SADISTIC INTENT show again a sign of life on their 7"EP , which has a
never before heard version of "Morbid Faith" raging on side A while Side
B will certainly draw the attention of every old Death Metal worshipper
with the cover version of POSSESSED's "The Exorcist" where none other
than Mr. Jeff Becerra himself does the vocals after so many years of
silence!

DAVE LOMBARDO To Continue Playing With SLAYER Until Late This Year - Apr. 5,

source. Although there has been no official word yet on the group's ongoing 
drummer search, it appears that the band have not yet found a suitable 
replacement for Paul Bostaph, who left the group in December due to a “
chronic elbow injury”, a medical condition which had prevented him from 
playing at intensity levels required by SLAYER's high-energy material."

Well, I've decided to bring back the NEWS FROM THE EAST newsletter.  A
lot has happened since the last issue was sent out, but I'll try to
sum it up in a few short paragraphs.



For one thing, The Fellowship of the Ring movie came out as you
probably already know unless you've been living under a rock, and it
was everything we hoped it would be and more.  While some of the
changes from Tolkien's original plot were regrettable, I think on the
whole the movie is a good thing and we have decided to support it.



However, the new site, WWW.LUGBURZ.COM, will be based on the books,
not the films, although there will be also be a small section related
to the films.  And that brings us to the question many of you have
been asking yourselves -- when the hell is the site going to open?



Well, due to circumstances beyond our control, such as a change of
address (in the real world, not on the web) and change of computers,
and alot of sitting around with our thumbs up our asses, we are not
very close to opening the site.  However, we will begin working on the
site round-the-clock this month and the next, and hope to be able to
unveil the finished (or almost finished) product by June at the
latest.



I know I haven't been online much lately, but I want to breathe new
life into Lugburz and I hope I can count on my old friends to help me
do that.  We still have quite a few die-hard members and new people
are posting every day so it shouldn't be hard to fan the flames and
get things rolling again.  With that in mind, Witchking and I will
begin working on giving some of the other forums a make-over and maybe
even adding a few more or getting rid of some of the deader ones.



If anyone's still interested in the MERP Tournament, please email me
at mouthofsauron@lugburz.com so I can get an idea of how many people
will be participating.  Also, those of you who signed up for the
Lugburz RPG & have not posted in our RPG forum in a while, please
return to that forum if you are still interested.  I need you to post
your character information again in the thread entitled "Cast of
Characters" so that it can be posted in The Lidless Eye.



The Dark Legion webring has really taken off.  The new Dark Legion
website is WWW.DARKLEGION.CA.  Check out what Turamarth has done with
the site and if you have your own dark fantasy site, add it to the
Dark Legion Top 50.  You can also submit your site to be considered
for membership in the Dark Legion, but be sure to read the guidelines
first.



And finally, I owe a whopping apology to everyone I made promises to
and then didn't follow through because I was hardly online.



Thank you for your support.



LONG LIVE LUGBURZ!!!

From http://www.turnitdown.com/news/index.html
NSBM BAND BOOTED FROM LABEL: Nokturnal Mortum, a national socialist black metal band associated with the Pagan Front, have been dropped from The End Records because of their racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. The End was not aware of the band's views when they were signed.

New Releases
=================================
ARCTURUS - "The Sham Mirrors" 
Honored sonic surrealists Arcturus lay down before you their latest work, "The Sham Mirrors." In a time when the terms "avant-garde" and "progressive" are thrown around too loosely in the metal lexicon, "The Sham Mirrors" arrives to defy such easy tags. It explodes like a supernova throughout its 43-minute duration; it lays another mighty brick in the tower these explorers have been building since 1991... The new album remains metal at its core while dragging the genre through endless tunnels of light, color and sound that it has never before seen. The Trickster Garm showcases his previously-unexplored falsetto range; Hellhammer offers a percussive display that teeters between the organic and the inhuman; Sverd's keys pepper the spaces with masterful confidence. In a perfect world (far from the one we inhabit), lead-off track "Kinetic" would be a global hit single. Six songs later, the album closes with the cosmic 10-and-a-half minute opus, "For to End Yet Again," itself alone worthy of a lifetime of inspection. Note for note, song for song, "The Sham Mirrors" is likely Arcturus's grand achievement, pulling together various facets of their previous releases and molding it into a bold new shape.
For North America only.
Site: http://www.adastraenter.com
WINDS - "Reflections Of The I" + bonus tracks
Finally, the new album by this amazing band from Norway is here. The US version also includes the complete MCD "Of Entiry and Mind" as a bonus!
Winds features: Lars Eric Si - Vocals (Jack In A Box, Sensa Anima, Khold),who won a Norwegian Grammy Award in 2000 for his amazing vocal talents; Carl August Tidemann - Guitars (Arcturus, Tritonus), an exceptional guitar player with influences from rock/metal, classical and jazz; Jan Axel von Blomberg - Drums (Mayhem, Arcturus, Kovenant), also known as Hellhammer, he has also won 2 Norwegian Grammy Awards; Andy Winter- Keys, a virtuoso in classical music, main songwriter and the person that gets the main credit for WINDS's crystal clear sound. The new album utilizes a full string section (courtesy of members from the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra) and creates a seamless and most inspiring mix of classically oriented metal fronted with clean vocals, dark progressive guitars, philharmonics, classical piano and floating synths. The intricate arrangements, all written so they flow with the concept in mind, deliver spirals of dazzling melodies filled with magnificent atmospheres, offering a sublime elegance that makes their music a truly superb sonic journey! A top-notch production by Top-Room Studio and a truly breathtaking layout design by the ever-talented Travis Smith make this one of the overall strongest albums the scene has to offer!
For North America only.

The upcoming album is entitled "Alive Again" and while the songs are fully completed there are only 2 song titles so far: 'Alive Again (Part IV)' and 'The Shadowman.' According to Dan: "[compared to the previous releases the new album will] be a bit of everything. Some tracks are in major key for a change without being too commercial; sad major. There is some chunky stuff, one 10 minute mega epic and a few traditional Nightingale style rockers. You will dig it...I promise!!!"
Current Nightingale Line-up:
Dan Swanö - Lead vocals, lead/rhythm and acoustic guitars, keyboards.
Erik Oskarsson - Bass and backing vocals.
Tom Nouga - Lead/rhythm and acoustic guitars, backing vocals, keyboards
Tom Björn - Drums and acoustic guitar
Discography:
Nightingale - I (2000)
Nightingale - The Closing Chronicles (1996)
Nightingale - The Breathing Shadow (1995)
Dan Swanö is one of the most prolific and talented musicians in the scene. He has recorded, produced, and participated in countless acts varying from progressive rock to death metal. Besides Nightingale, some of his other bands are: Moontower, Edge of Sanity, Unicorn, Godsend, Pan-Thy-Monium, Bloodbath, Diabolical Masquerade, etc.
Tom Björn also plays in Memory Garden and Memento Mori, Erik Oskarsson in Godsend and Tom Nouga (a.k.a. Dag Swanö) participated in various Dan Swanö projects.

=================================
On Exclusive Distribution:
=================================
KHOLD - "Phantom"
Khold's debut album made a stand in the extreme metal world as it created a spectral of modern black metal by incorporating the 80's blasphemic sounds of Bathory, Venom and Celtic Frost. The new album "The Phantom" is built on that that but comes forth as tighter and more focused, also offering a better production courtesy of the The Livingroom studios. A very cohesive and focused album proves Khold as one of the most consistent acts in black metal today, and song after song create an aura of grim, desolating black metal further accentuated by Gard's screechy yet commanding vocals. Nothing is over-used nor played excessively and this is Khold's strongest point as it allows the songs to fully develop and portray their lethal, menacing and even hypnotic/captivating atmospheres. Probably the most exciting black metal album for the year, Khold rises to stand equally next to such peers as Darkthrone and even Burzum.
CADAVERIA - "The Shadow's Madame"
While a debut, Cadaveria has created a remarkable album, but should not be a surprise as it includes members from top Italian extreme metal bands such as Opera IX and Necrodeath. The diverse musical background of the members (death, classical, black, thrash) manage to all be blended together and offer a sound that can be loosely described as obscure horror symphonic metal and in a way brings a mix of bands from Cradle Of Filth, Misfits, Mercyful Fate and Notre Dame. Cadaveria dare and scare as this is an album to please all into the extreme sounds of today!
Also Available:
THEORY IN PRACTICE - "Colonizing the Sun"
PALE FOREST - "Exit Mould"
AT VANCE - "Only Human"
SQUEALER - "Under the Cross"
WOLVERINE - "The Window Purpose"

THE BURNING BLADE

	Coincidentally, "Cut or be Cut" is the name of the latest
rough cut from the upcoming Fireaxe CD "Food for the Gods".
Bigger news still is that "Food for the Gods" will span more than
one CD.  Nearly 80 minutes of new material has been recorded

THE BEST DRINKING STORY EVER

From the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport,  comes
a true story from Houston, Texas.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood bar.
Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so
intoxicated that he could barely walk.  The man  stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes with the officer  quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed
to find his own  car which he fell into.  He was there for a few minutes as
a number of  other patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a dry
night), flicked the hazard flasher on and off, tooted the horn and then
switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches,
reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as more patrons left in their vehicles. At last he pulled out of the parking
lot and started to drive slowly down the street.

The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now  started
up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over
and carried out a Breathalyzer test. To his amazement the Breathalyzer
indicated NO evidence of the man having  consumed alcohol at all!  Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have  to ask you to accompany me to the Police station this Breathalyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy."
