14/05/2013 SLAYER’s DAVE LOMBARDO: Drum Clinic Impressions 0 Drummer Dave Lombardo took part in a special drum clinic on May 1 at Tel Aviv’s Barby Club. Video footage of his appearance can be seen below. The clinic was mostly comprised of Lombardo’s stories of his life and lengthy career, starting with his childhood, going through his years as a member of iconic Thrash Metal band SLAYER and to his current avant-garde / progressive Metal act, PHILM. One story addressed Jazz musicians, which Lombardo appreciates for being mostly self-taught, as he is. Regarding his status in SLAYER, Lombardo added that he doesn’t have a clear picture and would be glad to discuss things with guitarist Kerry King.14/05/2013 HAMMERCULT To Release Its Debut On Vinyl 0 Israel’s Thrash Metal export HAMMERCULT has announced a limited-edition release of its debut album, “Anthems Of The Damned” (July 2012) on red vinyl. The release will be available on May 24, with the conclusion of the band’s second European tour with Brazilian legends SEPULTURA. In addition, the vinyl includes a brand new cover artwork and three new songs – “Ironbound”, “Damnation Arise” and “Liar”. This marks the first output to be presented by the collaboration between the band’s label, Sonic Attack Records, and the acclaimed SPV Records (HOLY MOSES, ICED EARTH, RUNNING WILD), which is based on an extensive back catalogue as well as new products. Sonic Attack was founded two years ago by Rock and Metal veteran Karl Walterbach (who also manages HAMMERCULT), who set the course in the 80s and 90s with Modern Music and his Noise labels for numerous Thrash Metal acts, such as KREATOR, VOIVOD, TANKARD, CORONER and SABBAT.
13/05/2013 ORPHANED LAND Premieres “All Is One” First Single 3 ORPHANED LAND have released the official lyric video for the song “Our Own Messiah”, taken from their 5th studio album, “All Is One”, which is scheduled to be released on June 24 via Century Media Records. As previously reported, the album was recorded in Sweden’s Fascination Street studios with producer Jens Bogren, with additional recordings held both in Israel and in Turkey. The album marks the first recording with drummer Matan Shmuely and guitarist Chen Balbus (replacing founding member Matti Svatizky). OV METAL attended a pre-listening session of the new album, and can confirm the song is a good example of what people can expect from the new album: a different mix of the familiar elements that makes ORPHANED LAND. Hard riffs and complex solos are easy to find, while the singing is mostly clean and melodic.
