Hello metal fans. It's been a long time since I've last updated, but I've been working on things the whole time. After putting on shows, doing things behind the scenes, and even playing my first live gig, I've finally been able to get around to dusting off UF a little. There's a new RECORD REVIEW posted, and this is a band worth reading about. Cheers to Australia's DOWNRIVER!!
Check out the newly restored LINKS section. It's still under construction, but is about 80% finished. It's a GREAT improvement on the layout I was previously using, being more user friendly and easy to navigate. Check it out.
More to follow, and perhapse TWO MORE Metal Massacre shows. It's all in the works. Keep it here.

JUDAS PRIEST ROAR BACK WITH AN INSTANT EPIC, ‘NOSTRADAMUS’ ON MULTIPLE CLASSIC FORMATS & A WORLD TOUR
Think ‘Double vinyl, gatefold sleeve concept album,’ and some of rock’s all-time classic recordings come to mind. But in the realm of heavy metal, there has never been a double vinyl (now disc!) concept album that has managed to balance a thought-provoking storyline with metallic thunder. That was, until now. Metal legends JUDAS PRIEST will be releasing their sprawling double disc concept album, ‘Nostradamus’ via Columbia Records on Monday, June 16th in the UK/Europe, and a day later in the US on Epic Records.
Long in the works, ‘Nostradamus’ takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th Century French prophet. Some of the events that Nostradamus experts have interpreted as his predictions include the great fire of London in 1666, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and most recently, 9-11, among countless other renowned events.
“As in any concept piece, the lifeline needs to be of a solid source, taking the music over many levels of interest and perception,” points out singer Rob Halford. “Nostradamus’ contains new frontiers explored and defined. The sense of adventure and the journey we undertook bringing the man’s life alive with metal was a real labour of love.”
As with all new Priest releases, the group - singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis - will embark on a mammoth worldwide tour in support of ‘Nostradamus.’ Priest will be performing at the 2008 Download Festival - on a bill also featuring Kiss - which will serve as a ‘homecoming’ of sorts for the group, as they performed at the first-ever ‘Monsters of Rock Festival’ at Donington Park in 1980.
Since 1974, Judas Priest has been one of heavy metal’s most successful bands, issuing such all-time classic albums as 1980’s ‘British Steel,’ 1982’s ‘Screaming for Vengeance,’ and 1990’s ‘Painkiller,’ and such arena-rocking anthems as “Breaking the Law,” “Living After Midnight,” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’.” However, Priest’s influence goes far beyond their music - they were the first metal band to embrace the ‘leather biker look,’ a fashion that has since become synonymous with the musical genre. Additionally, Halford’s powerful four-and-a-half octave vocal range and the twin guitar harmonies of Downing and Tipton have been ‘studied’ by countless metal bands in Priest’s wake.
“For me, ‘Nostradamus’ has been a musical journey without comparison,” adds Downing. “The intrigue and mystery that surrounds this revered man has expanded my perception of heavy metal to the highest plateau and enabled me to reach the outer limits of my imagination and transport unique feelings and emotions to the instrument that allows me to express myself.”
In addition to the regular jewel case double CD version of the album, collectors will undoubtedly be interested in hunting down a copy of a Deluxe Double CD housed in a 48 page hardbound book package. But that’s not all - a Super Deluxe Box-set version will also be available with triple vinyl, the double CD, an expanded booklet & a poster.
Most bands of this high stature would be happy to play it safe. But not Judas Priest, who continue to take chances and break new ground. No other rock band could have pulled off such a grand statement, and Judas Priest have raised the bar once more with ‘Nostradamus.’
As to why they chose to make a concept album about Nostradamus, Tipton explains: “We didn't - he chose us. We feel it was meant to be!”
To get a taste of what awaits for you within ‘Nostradamus,’ go to livenation.com/judaspriest Monday, April 21st to download exclusive free mp3 of the album’s title track, as well as view the world premiere of the album cover art.

For immediate release:
SKULLSHIFTER begin mixing "Inner Demons"
SKULLSHIFTER, the New Jersey-based metal band featuring former INSANIAC members Tom Nolz and CJ Scioscia, as well as former EXXPLORER bassist J. McCaffrey, has completed the recording process and is now in mixing mode for their upcoming full-length CD, "Inner Demons". Armed with the wealth of experience gained through working with producer Simon Efemy on SKULLSHIFTER's debut 3-song EP "Here in Hell" in 2005, this new 9-song effort is being produced entirely by the band at Scioscia's studio, Le Chateau Bow Wow Recording, in Watchung, NJ.
With tracking beginning in September, 2007, and striving for nothing less than crushing metal perfection, the last piece of the puzzle was added this past Thursday as ROSS THE BOSS (THE DICTATORS, ex-MANOWAR) added his unmistakable lead guitar shredding to the song "Etched In Sand". Once again, SKULLSHIFTER will tap Alan Douches of West West Side Music for the mastering duties when mixing is completed.
SKULLSHIFTER's "Inner Demons" CD release event is scheduled to coincide with their appearance at NEW JERSEY HEAVY METAL MASSACRE 3 on Saturday, August 16, 2008, at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ. The evening will also feature performances by DTA, COMBAT, MARTYRD and ETHEREAL COLLAPSE. Additional details and updates will be available at:

Dear readers,
The last few months have been filled with both happy and sad times in my life. As my wedding approached, my time became more and more scarce. I always kept this webzine on my mind; it's a part of me, and I'd like to think it's a small part of you and the metal scene.
Right before the last True Metal America show in October, I got sick. It was nothing major, or so I thought. After that weekend, which was also right before my bachelor party, I had a panic attack. I was under so much stress and pressure. After a trip to the doctor, I was about on my feet again.
I got married Sunday, October 28. It was awesome; we had such a great time. Mostly everyone we invited came; unfortunately I was very upset from the absence of a very close friend of mine, who I have yet to hear from. When Shannon and I were introduced as husband and wife, we came out to some good old SLAYER. The bridal party came out to VIRGIN STEELE's "Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Our honeymoon followed that Friday. We visited Italy for 9 days and London England for 3 or 4. WE made our pilgramage to the legendary Ruskin Arms, where IRON MAIDEN had their first gig. It was really cool \m/
Thanksgiving was fun, and since the honeymoon, I've been trying to get the Thank You cards out, stay on my photographer so I can get my pics, and keep and eye on things. More trouble follows.......
I was lucky enough to see ANGELES DEL INFIERNO on Saturday, December 1 and also my friends GODS OF FIRE on Tuesday, December 18. NOW here comes the trouble........
Wednesday, December 19, I had severe chest pains again and was hospitalized up until this writing. Four hellish days in the hospital REALLY depressed me, but I had my wife, my AWESOME friends, and family visit me to keep my spirits up. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have cared about shit, and would have laid there and died. I have undergone MANY tests, needles, and other shit. I missed precious time at work, my friend's birthday, and other shit. I am NOT 100% yet. I am still quite ill. Rest assured, 2008 will mark a new begining for myself AND this webzine.
Thank you for reading this. I don't know when the next update will be, but I'm still here. I am still a phone call away for those of you who have my number.
I'LL COME BACK.....SOME DAY, ONE DAY...

If we missed your city then shoot us a message and we'll work on getting a show there!
Secondly, with pride joy, and a tear drop of accomplishment we announce the release of our 5 song EP entitled Coma Dreams. You can hear the live version featuring Jaimen Shinn on drums on our myspace player. The CD will be available for purchase through our myspace, website, and possibly other online outlets and distro. Look out for this one bitches!
Lastly, we welcome to our ranks accomplished skinbasher Brandon Hodges to our lineup. He will handle drum duties on the tour, and possibly beyond. You might recognize his face from numerous projects, among them is one dubbed Euphoria, a metal/prop outfit we had the pleasure to share the stage with a few times including the Brooklyn Metalfest, and also the new New York supergroup rising up in the scene known as The Void. Stop by and say hi to the fucker over at www.myspace.com/pandahs.
With that said, we'd like to extend the biggest thanks to founding member, drummer Anthony DiSpigna for his outstanding songwriting, live performance, recording, and brotherly service to the band. He is the one featured on Coma Dreams, our upcoming EP, and always a huge part of the DI family.
Much appreciated also are Dan Kurfirst's (Scribes Of Fire, Stoneman, CarpeDiemEnvy) contributions who was always on call if we needed a drummer and saved our asses back in March when we needed someone behind the kit.
Commendations run all the way down to the guy you've seen with us the last 13 times around NY, NJ, MD and...elsewhere, Jaimen Shinn. What could be said about this guy except for the fact taht it was a sick roller coaster ride. He kept us alive and played many awesome shows including the opening slots for Cellador and Testament. He moved on to concentrate on his band Catalyst Of Thought, which ya'll should definately check out. His work can be heard on our player with the live version of Coma Dreams.
Thanx for reading, we'll see ya on the road, purchase a CD and support when they's up for sale. Hell, what else is there to pimp now...
-George, DI
If I didn't need money so bad, I'd quit my jobs RIGHT NOW and follow these guys on tour!!!! If you're in the area of this tour, check out this band. You will NOT regret it!!!!

Check AREA SHOWS & NEWS for some updates.
Although I am posting this a little late, be assured that I have paid my respect and grieved along with my friends over the loss of this man. Rob will be missed by many, and his work shall live on!
ATTACKER frontman Bob Mitchell has issued the following statement:
"It is with heavy heart and deep sadness which I must inform you that my dear friend and brother Rob Oriani has passed away. He died of a heart attack while at work on Saturday. I was honored to know him and I will keep his family and those closest to him in prayer. His contribution to the metal world is our VYNDYKATOR album 'Heaven Sent From Hell' to which he was one of the prominent writers. I will post VYN's music on my personal MySpace site in tribute to him.
"Words cannot convey nor lend itself to emotions at this point.
"I love you, Rob, and I will miss you tremendously, dear brother.
"Tomorrow is the only wake and I believe it will be followed by a cremation. Here is an e-mail Bill Pena (guitarist) sent me on the arrangements:
"Services for Rob this Tuesday only.
"Tuesday, November 21 between 11am and 1pm
Riotto Funeral Home
"Please join me in prayer and keep the music of VYNDYKATOR close to your hearts as I will to mine for always."

“The 'Nostradamus' album - above all others - is perhaps the one I'm most proud of,” says Tipton. “Whilst in essence and character still very much Judas Priest, it has afforded the opportunity to explore areas of classical and operatic dimensions that the band normally wouldn't. As a guitarist and writer it has inspired me to greater heights and opened new doors to intrigue and passion. From start to finish, it will take you through a magical experience filled with light, shade, drama, melody and emotion that reflects this unique man and his life.”
