Wednesday 13 and company (Ghastly, Kid Kid, and Pig) recently returned from Los Angeles were they completed filming the video for the first single “I Walked With A Zombie”. In fact, the first cut of it arrived at Roadrunner yesterday (3/2). As it stands now, it looks great (fact, not opinion). Just a couple minor changes needed, and it will be ready to go. Final cut should be in sometime next week. As for the shoot itself, Wednesday 13 had the following to say: “This was the easiest video shoot I’ve been a part of so far…but it was also the weirdest, too. We shot everything on green screen so that was really odd, but it will all make sense in the end. The concept puts the band in the classic horror film Night Of The Living Dead. We are interacting with the characters in the movie as well as performing in a graveyard and inside the house. It should be entertaining and funny to say the least.” Wednesday 13 Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying and the Dead coming this April

STILL REMAINS singer TJ us this update on the band… í¢ä‰åñWell, here is an update for all the fans… It has been a long couple of months trying to finish up our new record titled, “Of Love and Lunacy”. We are all so excited to finally get this record out. It is everything we hoped it would be. Working with Garth Richardson was an amazing experience for the band. He is such an awesome guy! And let me tell you….Vancouver is a BEAUTIFUL city. Anyway, it has been a very long time since we have hit the road, and we actually leave for the Road Rage US tour first thing in March with Three Inches Of Blood, Trivium, and The Agony Scene. This is our first tour as a Roadrunner band and everyone is so pumped about it! Not to mention, we hope be in Europe in May! Most of us have never been to another continent before.í¢ä‰åŒ

The long-awaited release of TFP’s “Living In The Shadow Of The Bat” shall be released on the first Monday of February. Monday, February 7th is now the magical date. The first single, “Neopolitan” was released to radio late last year and is picking up steam right now!

When Twelve Tribes took the stage the atmosphere rose. The crowd were far louder and more pits were starting! They played a lot of songs off í¢ä‰åñThe Rebirth Of Tragedyí¢ä‰åŒ. A few times during their set the singer came right into the crowd and was giving the mike to fans! The best song in their set I thought was ‘Venus Complexí¢ä‰åŒ its great live! They dedicated the last song to everyone who turned up and all the bands on the tour. The half hour set was sound, I look forward to seeing them again in April! All the support bands did a good job of warming us up for the headliners, Killswitch Engage. As the chants grew louder the lights went out, and smoke appeared from each side of the stage. Then the sound of A Bid Farewell fell upon us. Soon enough the band were out on the stage. Everyone was just head banging and singing along. Adam D (guitarist) jumped right onto the barrier, with his guitar and kept playing. He was doing this right in front of me, as I was on the barrier. I’ve never seen any band do that kind of stunt before. Madness. He kept playing! And then suddenly hopped back on stage for the breakdown. They then went straight into í¢ä‰åñNumbered Daysí¢ä‰åŒ this saw Howard giving fans the mike and everyone screaming. From time to time Mike D (the bass player) was kicking Adam as a joke, it was really amusing! The atmosphere in the venue was now magic everyone was having a great time. During the set Adam was doing dance moves with his guitar, doing press up’s to songs like Life to lifeless, and blowing kisses to certain girls during Rose Of Sharyn and of course doing backing vocals. He’s some guy! Killswitch Engage have an awesome stage presence. They played about 9 or 10 songs during the 45 minute set. They played the best songs in the time they had. The set was a little like this: A Bid Farewell Numbered Days Fixation On The Darkness Rose Of Sharyn Life To Lifeless Take This Oath When Darkness Falls Breathe Life The End Of Heartache My Last Serenade In all it was an awesome night! Killswitch Engage are amazing live! Richy Muirhead We would like to thank Richy for his efforts, and great review. For more information on the becoming a streetteamer like Richy click HERE

This past Sunday (1/30), tracking on the upcoming DevilDriver CD – The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand – officially concluded. In fact, the last track to have vocals layed down was the title track itself. Fourteen songs in all were recorded. Not knowing that it could snow in Texas, today (2/01) Dez woke up seeing white, and is currently waiting for a flight on a layover in Phoenix en route to Santa Barbara. “Feels good to be holding a full record,” tells Dez from the Phoenix airport. “Going to go home and listen to it tonight relentlessly with Anahstasia.” The band would like to send thanks out to producer Colin Richardson for being such a wonderful guy during the recording of this CD, and everybody at Sonic Ranch (Tony, Justin, Bobby) for making their stay pleasant and giving DD a great atmosphere to create their art. Mixing of The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand will begin later this month. The full band will convene again in a couple days to start rehearsing live. As for touring, all the details – when, where, with who – is being figured out now…nothing is in stone as of yet.
