Opening with ”Pole Shift”, a dark, slow and crawling nine-minute piece, ”MMXII” puts you in a bitter climate that’s going to change sometimes but will leave you thinking again of some things you might have taken for granted. According to frontman Jaz Coleman, ”This year is about getting our collective dreams in order, restoring the biosphere, the idea of well-being as opposed to economic growth, the idea of partnership and co-creation with fellow human beings, moving away from national boundaries and more towards what Schiller and Beethoven were saying in some of their work”. So you get a point about the concept of the album, which lasts about 51 minutes, shorter enough compared to its predecessor. On the same way follows ”Fema Camp”, a track refering to Federal Emergency Management Agency and how martial law can be used against civilians supposed to be a threat for the U.S. national security. A track which surrounds you and makes you think the whole album is going to be like that. Wrong!

”Rapture” is the first track that was available for the album and initiates a series of tracks which bring the tempo a little up. It sounds redeeming compared to the first two tracks. Another interesting quote from Coleman comes for this track, ”Rapture” is the way I perceive a Killing Joke concert — it’s a spiritual experience for myself to get into that state of grace… music is the theme of mantra. I’m not into organized religion at all, but I’ve always liked what Fela Kuti did in Nigeria, playing music like it was a temple. Maybe we will evolve into a time where we will be performing for ritualistic and spiritual reasons alone and not for monetary reasons”? Having been able to attent a Killing Joke show two years ago, I must tell you that it’s not just a spiritual experience for the fans also, but a lifetime profit for everyone that loves this band, the way they present their tracks and their simple but also theatric presence, makes them an even larger band than you can imagine.

”Colony Collapse” and ”Corporate Elect” which follow, raise the tempo again, making the album balanced in its first half, some industrial touch on the first one and some more sloppy punk riffing on the second one close the first five tracks. ”In Cythera” is a reference about the Greek island under the same name, a place for which a lot have been written and the interesting ancient story that ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite was born there. It is also the first single of ”MMXII” and Coleman’s voice seems to take you to a trip round this beautiful place, or whichever else you can imagine. ”Primobile” is a track on the rhythm of the first two ones, with some sweet hidden melodies that take you as a captive, though you don’t seem to wanna let go. ”Glitch” that comes next, is a track ideal to follow in order to wake you up from the dreamy state you were in, with Coleman more aggressive than everywhere else on the album. A wide range of vocals is what he once again presents, making him one of the most charismatic singers of all time in all kinds of music.

The last duo of the album, gives it an even better final taste, with ”Trance” being the second longest track after ”Pole Shift”, and the ending ”On All Hallows Eve” being the shortest one on the album. In the end, what you surely understand is that ”MMXII” is a difficult album at first, but becomes a grower very rapidly and includes all Killing Joke beloved elements of their past albums. You will listen tracks that may remind you of each album of the band, but the final result is pure Killing Joke circa 2012. The end of the album is like waving goodbye to this year and the world in general, just like looking from high above everything getting destroyed slowly. The whole approach of the album looks on the future on the other hand, and makes me consider that Killing Joke haven’t used all their genius yet, as there is much more to come. For the time being, sit back and enjoy another brilliant release of the band. It doesn’t matter if you like it more or less than past albums, all that matters is that Killing Joke is still active and make us smile.

Special bonus tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered by Juan Urteaga (CATTLE DECAPITATION, HEATHEN, VILE, SADUS) at his Trident Studios. The highly anticipated follow up to their 2008 release “The Formation of Damnation” will be released on July 27, 2012 (Europe) via Nuclear Blast Records.

A previously unreleased cover version of the DROPKICK MURPHYS song “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” from Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM can be streamed using the SoundCloud player below. The track will appear on “Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)”, a very special CD+DVD career retrospective in celebration of the band’s 15th anniversary, which is scheduled for release on May 22. The release will spotlight specially selected tracks from every one of the group’s critically acclaimed albums (1997′s “Something Wild”, 1999′s “Hatebreeder”, 2000′s “Follow The Reaper”, 2003′s “Hate Crew Deathroll”, 2005′s “Are You Dead Yet?”, 2008′s “Blooddrunk” and 2011′s “Relentless Reckless Forever”), plus two newly recorded (and undeniably fun) cover songs and detailed liner notes penned by the members of CHILDREN OF BODOM themselves. The DVD portion of the package will include “candid touring and backstage footage from around the world”, plus the “Shovel Knockout” video.

“’15 Years Of Wasted Youth’ is the sound of CHILDREN OF BODOM working hard, partying hard, being relentless and stubborn,” says the band’s guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho. “We went through many brick walls to get to where we are, and after seven studio albums, two live albums, non-stop touring, bleeding and breaking a lot of bones, I think we are justified in putting this album out. Let the music speak for itself. You have been warned.”

“Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)” track listing:

01. Hate Crew Deathroll
02. Shovel Knockout
03. Hate Me
04. Everytime I Die
05. Needled 24/7
06. I’m Shipping Up To Boston (* DROPKICK MURPHYS cover; previously unreleased)
07. Sixpounder
08. Warheart
09. Roundtrip to Hell and Back
10. Trashed, Lost & Strungout
11. Living Dead Beat
12. Deadnight Warrior
13. Blooddrunk
14. Follow The Reaper
15. Are You Dead Yet?
16. Silent Night, Bodom Night
17. Jessie’s Girl (* RICK SPRINGFIELD cover; previously unreleased)
18. In Your Face
19. Angels Don’t Kill
20. Downfall

CHILDREN OF BODOM’s video for the song “Shovel Knockout” can be seen below. The clip, which was directed by Jussi Hyttinen for FLC415 (MTV3, The Finnish National Lottery), adeptly chronicles “what happens from the time a live show ends through to the next gig in a new city” (i.e. lots of drinking and flipping the bird!). The song itself appears on CHILDREN OF BODOM’s latest studio album, “Relentless Reckless Forever”.

The release of “Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)” continues CHILDREN OF BODOM’s year-long anniversary celebration, which kicked off with the band’s highly successful “15th Anniversary” headlining tour of North America.

In an interview with MusikUniverse.net, Laiho said that the band is scheduled to commence the songwriting sessions for its next album this fall for a 2013 release. “I have ideas, but I haven’t done anything about it,” Alexi said. “‘Cause the thing is, I can’t write when I’m touring; it’s not the right kind of environment for me. I know a lot of people do it, but I just can’t. And it’s OK, ’cause I build a lot of ideas in my head, and my memory sucks, but one thing that I never forget is the riffs; they’re always in my head somehow. So it’s really not a problem.”

“Relentless Reckless Forever” sold nearly 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous CD, 2008′s “Blooddrunk”, opened with 19,000 units to land at No. 22. This number was roughly four times the opening tally of “Blooddrunk”‘s predecessor, “Are You Dead Yet?”, which premiered with 5,000 units back in October 2005 to enter the chart at No. 195.

“Relentless Reckless Forever” was certified gold in the band’s home country for first-day sales of over 10,000 copies. The CD was recorded in Finland’s Petrax Studios with famed rock producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET).

“Dear SABBATH fans and fellow musicians,

“I sincerely regret to inform you that after a final effort to participate in the upcoming SABBATH shows, a failure to agree has continued. At this time I have to inform you that I won’t be playing with BLACK SABBATH at the Birmingham gig dated May 19th, 2012, nor will I be playing at [U.K.'s] Download [festival] on June 10th, 2012. Further, I will not be playing at Lollapalooza [festival] on August 3, 2012.

“It is with a very sad heart that I bring you this news. I am sincerely passionate in my desire to play with the band, and I’m very, very sorry that it’s fallen to this. This statement is even more painstaking to write, as I was particularly excited to play alongside Tony Iommi after the recent treatments he underwent. I wanted that to become a reality.

“To express my thoughts about you, the SABBATH fans, I’m going to speak to you all through an experience my brother James had recently. My brother Jimmy lives in the U.K. When speaking with him a couple of days ago, he told me that an acquaintance had stopped him on the street and confronted him, ‘Is your brother playing Birmingham? What’s going on? I waited in line with my son and paid X amount for the concert tickets.’

“The man’s son is a young drummer. He’s going to see SABBATH, and he wants to see Bill Ward play drums.

“Upon hearing this news, I felt horrible. I couldn’t help feeling some resentment towards the failure to reach an agreement, the failure to remember where we came from, the failure to be as brothers, as we once were.

“To be clear, I’m not blaming the other guys or finding any faults with them. I would think it can’t be easy for them either, but this situation is just really sad. It’s sad that it’s come to this. ‘This’ will surely leave a mark and be unwelcome to the memory. Hopefully ‘this’ will heal and pass in time.

“My heart sank when Jimmy told me about this young boy. I know this boy is going to be disappointed, and I don’t know how to amend it, other than to put my arms around the boy and tell him I love him.

“SABBATH fans have a voice and a face. To me you’re human, you have families and despair. You have ferocity and emotions and graciousness, and at this moment, as far as I’m concerned, you are also that young boy in England. I don’t know how to amend my part in these failings other than to put my arms around you and say I love you and let you know I’m very, very sorry.

“Throughout this process, which began over a year ago, I have had to stand up for myself time and time again. I have had to stand up for myself and in doing so realize my actions indirectly, although unintentionally, are upsetting and hurting a lot of you. I know in my heart I couldn’t have done these concerts by agreeing the terms suggested. I made a solemn vow after the last European and Ozzfest concerts that I would never again enter into what was, in my opinion, a totally unsatisfactory contract. I have to stand for something, and as painful as it is, I’m doing it.

“Earlier in April 2012, I’d been asked to participate ‘minimally’ in the Download festival. I believe I’d been offered no more than three songs to play while another drummer presumably played the rest of the show with BLACK SABBATH. I was not willing to participate in that offer. I was not prepared to watch another drummer play a SABBATH set, while I was to play only three songs.

“I found out about the Birmingham gig on Monday, April 30 through the Internet ad. I was taken aback somewhat by the date, and the fact it was Birmingham. Knowing the ‘signable’ contract negotiations were at best in shreds, I was upset by the idea that the band was going to play Birmingham and play it assumedly without me. I had no prior knowledge of the date and location, and I felt totally excluded. We contacted the representative for BLACK SABBATH to see if something could be worked out. In the meantime, my drum crew and I, along with our U.S. endorsers, finished all the necessary planning for a swift departure to the U.K. There wasn’t a whole lot to complete; we’d all been on standby more or less since mid-January 2012. The remaining work in the U.K. was confirmed done by our European and U.K. endorsers and we were good to go by Friday, May 4 2012. There were two stress points: firstly, getting an agreement in place, and secondly, getting to England in a timely manner. Jetlag time was taken into account as well as drum practice, a drum practice room in the heart of Birmingham, accommodation, and travel arrangements were all in place to meet with any band rehearsals that may have transpired before the Birmingham show. So far everything that had been arranged was on my dime, but we didn’t move ahead without a realistic confirmation.

“Communications between the representative and my lawyer continued through the weekend of May 5, finalizing on Wednesday, May 9. The offer we received on May 9 was, ‘Come to the U.K., play for free and see how the first show goes.’ I was tempted. Playing for free would not have been a problem for me, but ‘seeing how the first show goes’ left an element of risk which could have affected Download. My ideal thought was to play in full the Birmingham show, in full Download, and in full Lollapalooza.

“I had notified the representative that May 10 was my cutoff day in order to have good lead-in time for England. On the night of May 9, I asked for a brief letter to be sent to the representative asking to find out if we were at an end. On the morning of Thursday, May 10, I received a reply in the affirmative. After consulting with my advisors and crew, a decision was made to let go and stop.

“I can’t prioritize the SABBATH fans making one show more important than the other. I can’t do that. All of you are important. It’s all the gigs or none at all. I can’t come to Birmingham and ‘see what happens’ knowing there is a risk of not being able to play Download or Lollapalooza. Again, for me, it’s all or nothing. I had to say ‘no’ to Birmingham on the principle of wanting to play all the shows.

“Saying no to Birmingham is very difficult for me. My family grew up in Birmingham. BLACK SABBATH grew up in Birmingham. It’s still my hometown and I resent having to arrive at such a difficult choice.

“Although the statement was made that ‘the door is always open’ for me, as explained above, walking through that door is not always as easy as it sounds. There are many complicated issues and unseen and unspoken agendas on hand. I can assure you, my criteria for a ‘signable’ contract is based in mindful principles, respectability, and acknowledgement of my history within the band.

“I hold no malice or resentment towards the other band members. I love them; I’m tolerant of them; I’m frustrated with them, as they may be with me. My fight has never been with them. I’ll love them forever. In my opinion, nobody wins this time; the band doesn’t win; the fans for an original lineup don’t win. Nobody wins, nobody. Even the ones who thought they did.

“I didn’t want to make this decision, but I have to be honest and transparent. This is the statement I didn’t want to write; it’s the last thing I wanted to do. But, I have written it, and now it can go into the universe.

“Since spring of 2011, I’ve waited patiently and hopefully for a signable contract, you know the rest. I stand for the boy in the U.K., for the coming drum student, for all the drummers, who write their parts out and get stiffed on the publishing, I stand with the SABBATH fans chanting ‘Bill Ward’ and asking ‘why?’ and I stand with Tony and Geezer and Ozzy.

“On a final note, even though I’m at an end with the upcoming announced concerts, I will remain with an open mind and a position of willingness to negotiate ‘signable’ terms with SABBATH’s representatives in the future.

“Stay strong. Stay safe.

“With all my heart and strength, I love you, Bill Ward.

“Following on a separate page is a thank you message to some very extraordinary people.”

Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager, Sharon, said recently that SABBATH would now play just one date each in North America and the U.K.

Ozzy, Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler recently spent time in London recording their first album together in 33 years, although without drummer Bill Ward it is not the original SABBATH reunion announced last November.

Ward has been sitting out the sessions due to being offered what he called “an unsignable contract” in an open letter to SABBATH fans.

The rest of SABBATH’s scheduled European summer gigs will be replaced by “Ozzy And Friends”, at which the singer will be joined by Butler, former Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde and other special guests, including Slash on selected dates.

The first of two video clips in which guitarist Gus G. of Greek melodic metallers FIREWIND talks about the individual tracks that will appear on the band’s new album, “Few Against Many”, can be seen below. Due in Europe on May 21 via Century Media Records and in North America on May 22 through DisManic, Inc. via eOne Distribution, the CD was mixed by Jason Suecof and Eyal Levi at Audiohammer Studios (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, DEATH ANGEL) in Sanford, Florida.

Produced by Gus, “Few Against Many” was recorded with his longtime bandmates, vocalist Apollo Papathanasio, keyboardist/guitarist Bob Katsionis and bassist Petros Christo, at Valve Studio in Greece as well as the Sweetspot Studios in Sweden and sees the band expanding on its signature melodic sound with some of its most aggressive songs to date. The CD also marks the recording debut of new FIREWIND drummer Johan Nunez (NIGHTRAGE). The young Belgian is regarded by Gus as a “phenomenal talent,” and anyone that witnessed him on the band’s most recent world tour will no doubt agree.

“Few Against Many” track listing:

01. Wall Of Sound
02. Losing My Mind
03. Few Against Many
04. The Undying Fire
05. Another Dimension
06. Glorious
07. Edge Of A Dream (feat. APOCALYPTICA)
08. Destiny
09. Long Gone Tomorrow
10. No Heroes, No Sinners

The song “Edge Of A Dream” features a special appearance of Finnish cello superstars APOCALYPTICA.

While the album’s standard version will be available in the CD format as well as LP and also as digital download, “Few Against Many” will also be released as limited-edition digipak CD with two special bonus tracks: “Battleborn” and an acoustic version of “No Heroes, No Sinners”.

The “Wall Of Sound” video can be seen below. The clip was filmed by Colin Marshall during the band’s recent shows in Greece.

Commented Gus: “We wanted to do a different video this time, instead of the usual indoor studio shootings. So we figured we’d show the band in its comfort zone — on stage. The clip was shot on our most recent shows in Greece this past January and you can witness the mayhem that goes down when we play in our home country! Enjoy!”

FIREWIND 2012 is:

FIREWIND debuted two brand new songs — “Wall Of Sound” and “Losing My Mind” — during its headlining concert on January 14 at the Fuzz Club in Athens, Greece.

FIREWIND has already announced a few summer festival appearances (including Summer Breeze in Germany and Czech Republic’s Masters Of Rock) and will play three shows in China and Taiwan at the end of August. The band will also embark on a European headlining tour in September/October with support from LEAVES’ EYES.

Commented the band, “['Rise'] is different to anything you may have heard from us in the past and we love it! To mark the occasion we’ll be playing a special one-off performance of the ‘Rise’ album from start to finish in Belfast’s Empire Music Hall on July 5.”

In other news, THE ANSWER will perform a special concert at Belfast’s The Ulster Hall as part of the BBC televised 150th anniversary celebration of the legendary venue. The band says, “This show is a massive event in our native Ulster and we’re incredibly thrilled to be able to announce that on May 22nd, we will be performing our much requested song ‘Rise’ in a special arrangement with the Ulster Orchestra. We’ve played a few momentous gigs in Northern Ireland’s most famous venue before, but this one will be unlike anything you’ve seen us do before. It will be a truly spectacular experience performing with one of the finest symphony orchestras in the world and to also finally get to perform a song that we have loved but never released — until now, that is.”

Pavel Radzivonaw, a departmental head at the Prosecutor General’s Office, told reporters on Monday that MARDUK’s concert, scheduled for May 22, would not take place.

“The band preaches Satanism, which has nothing to do with art. This is an affront to Christian values, they preach the ideas of death, of the Third Reich,” he said, describing the band’s songs as “destructive.”

Four other groups that were scheduled to appear with MARDUK at the Re:Public club — including KATAKLYSM and VADER — will be allowed to perform. However, Radzivonaw warned, their concerts may be stopped if they involve violations of laws.

“Souls For Belial”, the new Håkan Sjödin-directed video from MARDUK, can be seen below. The song comes off the band’s 12th studio album, “Serpent Sermon”, which will be released via Blooddawn Productions/Century Media Records on the following dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway: Friday, May 25
Rest Of Europe: Monday, May 28
Spain, Italy: Tuesday, May 29
Sweden, Finland, Hungary: Wednesday, May 30
Australia, New Zealand: Friday, June 1
USA/Canada: June 5

“Serpent Sermon” track listing:

01. Serpent Sermon
02. Messianic Pestilence

“Cursed To Live” is the documentation of MORGOTH’s ongoing 20th-anniversary celebration of the band’s all-time classic album “Cursed” (released by Century Media Records in 1991). It will be released on CD, a limited DVD+2CD as well as a limited deluxe 2LP. The live show featured on the album was recorded at the band’s triumphant show headlining Way Of Darkness festival 2011, at which MORGOTH performed an extensive set of 15 songs, with the main focus on the songs off “Cursed”. The cover artwork — with an intentional nod to the original “Cursed” art — was designed by the renowned artist Dirk Rudolph (RAMMSTEIN, IN EXTREMO, APOCALYPTICA), who had also created the original artwork for “Cursed” 21 years ago.

Commented MORGOTH: “By the end of June, we will be finally releasing our career’s first-ever official live DVD/live album, ‘Cursed To Live’. Get ready for the full power of MORGOTH during the 2011/2012 ‘Cursed’ reunion! The package’s main show is a 70 min. live recording of the Way Of Darkness festival show that we played on October 7th, 2011 in Lichtenfels, Germany. Next to this main feature, we also added plenty of extra bonus material for the DVD format (like the early, original promo clips and more recent live footage) and its companion bonus disc (composed of live songs from Rock Hard Festival and Wacken Open Air, both in 2011). There will even be a gatefold 2LP release of the live album, so this is all sounding and looking really cool…Watch out!”

“22 years ago I proudly wore a MORGOTH t-shirt on the group-photo for the first EDGE OF SANITY album,” Dan said. “Any metalhead knows that for the really important photos, you only wear what you truly worship!!! Sometime during the mix sessions of the live material I had to pinch my arm to make sure I wasn’t dreaming! It’s always a great vibe when something in your life comes ‘full circle,’ and this is one of those moments for me!”

A performance clip of the song “Isolated” taken from the “Cursed To Live” DVD can be seen below.

MORGOTH will return to North American ground by appearing at Baltimore’s acclaimed Maryland Deathfest on May 27. Furthermore, the band will perform at Neurotic Deathfest (The Netherlands), Brutal Assault (Czech Republic) as well as the following events in Germany: Winternachtstraum (Arnsberg), Walpurgis Metal Dayz (Passau), Rock Harz (Ballenstedt) and Summer Breeze (Dinkelsbühl).
