Although we will have the video up on the site very shortly, we managed to hook up with BROCK “THE ROCK” LINDOW, for a quick chat about the video. “I have seen the video and its really exciting for us to be so proud of a video..we usually dread making them and things like that, but we had a total blast with the new one, Darren Doane is the man, and I had heard of him for years but never had the chance to work with him until now and I tell you man we had an absolute blast…it was cool hanging out with all the pyro technicians during the day and also the fireman..definately won’t forget that experience for some time.. ” – BROCK VIEW THE 36 CRAZYFISTS ECARD
Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of Megadeth. Holy Toledo, did I just say Megadeth? Good God, we signed Mega-fucking-deth!!! Recognised as one of rock’s most forward-thinking bands, Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today. “We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The combination of the two is bound to be lethal,” says A&R man, Mike Gitter. Mustaine says of his new home “It is exciting to be some place you are respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there’s a lot of people I’ve known there over the years. I’m stoked we’re all coming back together again to work on this project.” Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed 2004’s The System Has Failed).

OPETH have posted the following official statement ton their official website: “After several months away from his drumming duties in Opeth Martin Lopez has permanently decided to leave the group. After being plagued by illness and anxiety attacks Lopez decided he wanted to concentrate fully on his own project, currently unnamed. His replacement will be Martin “Axe” Axenrot who’s been filling in for the last 5 tours and who also recorded with the band during the recent BBC sessions. Mikael íäó_kerfeldt: “However sad I and the rest of the band feel in light of Lopez departure I want to thank him for his incredible work with Opeth and immense dedication to the band. We recorded some classic stuff together and he obviously had an enormous impact on our sound. I now feel very excited to hear the material of his own band. In the meantime Opeth fans can rest assured that we’ll continue jamming it out with Axe and we all have high expectations about our coming musical ventures” Watch this spot for updates on Martin Lopez.
