Here's the latest colleciton of updates from Earache Records' artists With Passion, Deicide, NOX, Cult Of Luna, Decapitated, and The Berzerker. Enjoy!
WITH PASSION COVER ARTWORK, CRAFTED BY DAVE QUIGGLE, RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC!
Dynamic, organically conceived, and original – WITH PASSION exemplify all of these characteristics and their forthcoming release, What We See When We Shut Our Eyes, carries that sentiment forward. World renowned artist, Dave Quiggle, is widely known for his custom tattoo work and work with popular bands such as ATREYU, SICK OF IT ALL, SCARS OF TOMMOROW and many more metal and hardcore heavy hitters. Dave Quiggle has completed cover artwork for WITH PASSION, displayed below, which combines themes of the album with Dave Quiggles’ signature style and temperament. Awesomely detailed, borderline frightening, yet poignantly beautiful – Quiggle’s work compliments the musical complexity and depth of What We See When We Shut Our Eyes. WITH PASSION’S second release is due out late February 2006, featuring 10 blistering tracks of forward-thinking metal from Sacramento’s fiercest contenders!

NOX - new MP3 Choronzonic Chaos Gods available online
Dutch Death Metal crew NOX have posted an advance mp3 on the Wicked World Records myspace page www.myspace.com/wickedworldrecords.
Titled Choronzonic Chaos Gods the track is the opening cut on the new Ixaxaar album due on Feb 19.
Ixaxaar (pron. 'ick-sack-sar', meaning a seal or gateway to hell) broods with the unhealthy marriage of cosmic chaos theories and grim-faced aggression. With the kind of oily serpentine riffs not heard since early Morbid Angel or Angelcorpse efforts, the band blend supreme technical mastery with immediate catchiness and unholy malice. Favouring a blast-based attack of extreme speed and sharply direct riffing, the approach is deliberately lean and pretence-free.
Having performed with like-minded misanthropists such as Antaeus and Nifelheim and with links to nefarious underground occult organisations including the notorious M.L.O., Nox are intent on taking their subterranean sound and beliefs to a wider audience IN 2007.
The band features ex-members of Centurian who issued one album via Listenable, and current members of Severe Torture.
Cult of Luna are proud to announce that they have been nominated at The P3 Gold awards in Sweden for Best rock / metal album for the year for SOMEWHERE ALONG THE HIGHWAY. The awards will take place on 20th January 2007 in Gothenburg and live on Swedish televsion.
Cult of Luna will headline a full European tour next February, see dates below:

Early Napalm Death cited by UK Turner Art Prize Nominee Mark Titchner
Mark Titchner, one of the Art world's nominees for 2006's prestigious ‘Turner Prize’ has declared the music of Napalm Death as distinctly influential in his work. Titchner explains the appeal of ‘abrasive music’ and describes his interest in how bands such as Napalm Death are able to use the voice as an instrument and push the boundaries of language.
Titchner sees a vivid resemblance between the style of Napalm Death’s music and what he depicts within his art, choosing one of the founding members Nicholas Bullen to speak on behalf of his work. In an interview about the artist, Bullen describes the similarities between the two stating that “I think in the work that I’ve made in the past in terms of music, we’ve always
tried to be very dense, to distil, to compress sound into sudden bursts and forward movements, to try and move towards what we would perceive as the
future, and I think Mark does that in the sense of, his work, whilst never stating a utopian vision, always hints at that and hints at a sense of joy
of being alive”.
You can take a look at Mark’s work and listen to Nicholas Bullen’s opinions
on it at this location.
Earache Records issues a 20 year anniversary edition of the highly influential debut Napalm Death album Scum in early 2007, complete with an recently filmed in-depth DVD documentary about the making of the album.

DEICIDE LAYS WASTE TO AUSTRALIA
Deicide are currently midway through their first ever full Australian tour. Having played Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, and dates in Auckland & Christchurch (New Zealand) still to come, but they will end the tour back in Oz in the sub tropical heat of Brisbane.
The band are in devastating form – Thursday, Dec 14 saw them play to a sold out crowd of over 700 at Sydney’s Gaelic Club. Known as the homeland of metal for touring bands into Sydney, the Gaelic Club’s foundations were under immense stress enduring what was possibly one of the loudest gigs ever performed within its walls.
According to an eye-witness account:
"Deicide came out and destroyed. It all began with Dead By Dawn and then a barrage of the old, the very old and plenty of new material from The Stench Of Redemption that was played with the precision of a military machine.
New guitarists, Ralph Santolla and Jack Owen are so in tune with and balanced against Glen Benton and Steve Asheim’s bottom end assault that they seem like they have been in the band forever…
The band were so tight and heavy that by the 2nd time Glen came up for air to address the crowd it was only because of the Satanic smell he was enduring due to a member of the rampant crowd having lost control of their bowels. Yes, Deicide really do make you shit yourself.
Deicide are truly on top of their game, not only was the sound level pushed to extremity, it was also crystal clear making sure that every double kick and blast beat, every riff and every Depths Of Hell vocal was felt from every angle within the venue.
No doubt the people of Sydney and the rest of Australia will be left with physical evidence of having experienced Deicide live. A few more than others as there was more than one willing to brave the 20 foot drop into the mosh pit from the balcony at the Sydney show, but when one person offers a Homage For Satan, others follow."
