Bleeding Through are hitting a recording studio in Vancouver next month! After hitting it they will probably go inside and record their new album “Declaration”, due to be realeased in August this year.
It seems that Bleeding Through are continuing the trend started with The Truth of having just about the coolest producer anywhere (The Truth was produced by Rob Caggiano, Anthrax’s lead guitarist): Declaration will be produced by Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad.
It has been announced that the Killers will headline the Reading and Leeds festival (UK) in late August this year (22nd – 24th if you must know).
Funeral For A Friend have announced that they will not be touring in South America, because of unforeseen circumstances, i.e. their jackass promoter. The band said on their myspace:
It is with great regret that we have been forced to announce the cancellation of our South American tour.
Circumstances entirely outside of our control have conspired against us to force the cancellation against our wishes. Essential things that needed to be put in place by our friends working with us in South America in order for the tour to happen have simply not materialised and it is now physically impossible for the tour to proceed.
Lars Ulrich has announced that Metallica’s as-yet untitled album will be released in September.
