THE UNSATISFIED featured on ROT: REUNION OF TERROR movie soundtrack

Pure Rock Newswire

THE UNSATISFIED are proud to support the Indie Horror Flick 'ROT: REUNION OF TERROR'. The movie soundtrack contains several tracks from THE UNSATISFIED as well as a full length music video in the Special Features section. Being released on DVD Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, 'ROT: REUNION Of TERROR' will be available to add to your Netflix and Blockbuster.com queues; plus it will be available for sale at Amazon, Walmart.com, Target.com, BarnesAndNoble.com - basically - all of your favourite stores.

 

The story follows a group of friends who've gathered for a reunion party at a secluded hunting cabin. Little do they know, a deranged killer has targeted them. As the night progresses, a secret is uncovered which reveals one of the most controversial and brutal endings in cinematic history.

 

Shot in high definition in Los Angeles by cult-Florida filmmaker MICHAEL A. HOFFMAN; 'ROT' re-defines the classic 80's slasher as it pays homage to 'PROM NIGHT', 'FRIDAY THE 13th' and films of yore.

 

Having been long-delayed after it's run on Pay Per View for almost a year and a half, the DVD release of the controversial film includes:

  • The Unrated Cut (featuring more nudity than was on Pay Per View and overseas releases)
  • A 16x9 enhanced transfer (re-mastered from a pristine HD source)
  • Audio Commentary
  • 3 Making-Of Featurettes
  • 3 Music Videos
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Blooper Reel

Now you can see the movie that caused a stir as it traveled the convention circuit and with distributors nationwide and finally discover the secret!!!

 

Here are some quotes from critics:

 

"4 stars...The perfect 80's slasher" - Rogue Cinema


"Frightening and shocking...I really want you to see this film" - FilmArcarde.Net


"If I could summarize ("ROT") in three words they would be 'mood, mood, mood'...I haven't felt as unnerved as this in years" - Killer Reviews


"Not your run of the mill typical indie horror...I was pleasantly surprised" - Terror Hook


"Nerve wracking...I'm not sure we've ever seen an ending quite like this one" - Pop Culture Beast


"I love who-done it films of the 80's. Why did they go away? Well in "ROT" we are brought back to the time when horror was done right. I highly recommend it" - Scared Stiff Reviews

MASS ASSEMBLY's EP to be released at the legendary Hosreshoe Tavern

Pure Rock Newswire
MASS ASSEMBLY's self-titled EP (February 27, 2010) is a five-song indie/garage/pop punk rockin’ roll call to wake up and accept reality.

Each song is a testament to life laid out on the most accessible, tantalizing ear candy tray. Countless influences weave in and out of each craftily written song (i.e. ROLLING STONES, DAVID BOWIE, VOIDOIDS, NIRVANA). However, MASS ASSEMBLY sounds like no other band before them.

The very first verse to opening track “TRANQUILIZER” sells the show: “I know you’ve heard this shit before/but I don’t give a shit no more/I’m tired of keeping it locked up inside me!” Well, right now MASS ASSEMBLY is definitely meant to be!

“PEOPLE TURN ME ON”, about a dangerous, reclusive stalker you might unknowingly pass on the street while your iPod shuffles you along, is simply put, a modern day Rock‘n’Roll anthem. To the maniacally fulfilling hopelessness of "JUNKIE LUV" and the beautifully wanting despair of “DOWN AND AWAY” ending with the epic psychological transformation in “REINCARNATION”, the adventure delivers. Sounds dark? Try the complete opposite. A hyper-charged yet spacious and colourful sound should secure MASS ASSEMBLY a special place in many listeners’ hearts. Let this be an introduction to a musical world of life, hope and salvation. Enjoy…

MASS ASSEMBLY will release their EP officially at the legendary HORSESHOE TAVERN in Toronto, Ont., Canada on Saturday February 27th/2010. For more information, visit the band's website at: www.massassembly.org

Ex-GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist GILBY CLARKE Injured In Hit-And-Run Motorcycle Accident

Pure Rock Newswire

 

According to former MTV "Headbangers Ball" host Riki Rachtman, ex-GUNS N' ROSES/ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA guitarist Gilby Clarke was hospitalized yesterday (Sunday, January 10) after he was the victim of a hit-and-run motorcycle accident. "Some asshole turned in front of [Gilby when] he was on a bike," Riki wrote on his Twitter page. "His leg's busted up pretty bad. It was a hit-and-run."

After visiting Gilby in the hospital eariler tonight, Rachtman wrote, "Gilby's got some good breakage in that leg. He is in good spirits considering."

Clarke, 47, is best known for a three-year tenure as the rhythm guitarist of GUNS N' ROSES. He joined the band in November 1991, replacing Izzy Stradlin, who quit the group in the middle of a 28-month world tour. Gilby has also played with ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA, HEART, NANCY SINATRA, Kathy Valentine (of THE GO-GO'S) and the reformed MC5 on their 2005 European tour.

Clarke has produced a number of artists, including L.A. GUNS, BULLETS AND OCTANE, THE BRONX, GIRLSPLAYBOYS, VAINS OF JENNA and LADYJACK.

TORA TORA: Previously Unreleased Recordings To See Light Of Day

Pure Rock Newswire


FnA Records has secured the exclusive rights to release three albums from the legendary Memphis hard rock band TORA TORA"Bombs Away: The Unreleased Surprise Attack Recordings", "Miss B. Havin': The Unreleased Wild America Recordings" and "Before & After". The first two releases consist of demos that were recorded during the band's major label days (A&M Records; 1989-1992), while the album "Before & After" comprises material from the group's mega-rare independent EP that was released in 1987 prior to TORA TORA being signed, demo tracks written for the band's never-released third album, and the original recording of the band's smash hit "Walkin Shoes".

** Comprised of 10 tracks, "Before & After" is a "new" collection of "old" recordings. The first five tracks are from the very limited cassette-only release of "To Rock To Roll" while the sixth track is the very original recorded version of "Walkin' Shoes" which would eventually wind up on "Surprise Attack" and be a standout track and video. The remaining four tracks are demos that were written for the unreleased third album and never turned in to A&M Records.

** "Bombs Away: The Unreleased Surprise Attack Recordings" consists of material written and demoed just prior to the band's major label debut.

** "Miss B. Havin': The Unreleased Wild America Recordings" consists of material written and demoed before the bands sophomore effort for A&M Records.

TORA TORA started out as a local garage band then eventually got studio time when they won a local Battle of the Bands contest. Following this, the band recorded "To Rock To Roll" as an independent EP. After its release, the songs "Phantom Rider" and "Love's A Bitch" received extensive airplay on local radio station Rock 98. A deal with A&M Records followed, and the band recorded its debut album, "Surprise! Attack", in 1989. This LP peaked on Billboard's Top 200 at #47. The single "Dancing With A Gypsy" was on the soundtrack for the film "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" later that year. In 1992, TORA TORA's second album, "Wild America", was released. It only achieved #134 on the Billboard chart and it did not sell as well, but it was a more mature step at songwriting. A third album, "Revolution Day", was recorded in 1994, but it was never released due to label restructuring.

FnA Records, LLC is a new record label formed in 2009 to bring rockers and metalheads some of the best unreleased and hard-to-find music from the '80s and early '90s.

AVIAN Working On New Material

Pure Rock Newswire


AVIAN, the melodic metal band featuring singer Lance King (BALANCE OF POWER, PYRAMAZE) and guitarist Yan Leviathan, is currently in pre-production for its third album, to be released in late 2010/early 2011.

Commented Leviathan:"The new material is heading toward a heavier and faster feel than the previous two albums. There will be a few of the trademark riff-heavy songs reminiscent of 'From The Depths Of Time' and 'Ashes And Madness', in addition to the heavier and faster songs. Yes, I know that every band says that, but what else are we going to say?! That the new songs are slower and melower? They're not, so please forgive the cliché."

AVIAN will support HAMMERFALL on Thursday, March 18 at the Station 4 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Leviathan says, "This is a treat for me, as HAMMERFALL have been a huge influence on me. I am looking forward with much anticipation to sharing the stage with this amazing band."

AVIAN's sophomore album, "Ashes and Madness", was released in Europe in February 2009 via Germany's Silverwolf Productions.

The recording lineup for the CD was as follows:

Lance King - Vocals, Keyboards
Yan Leviathan - Guitar, Bass
Jerry B. - Drums
Bill Hudson (ex-CELLADOR) - All Guitar Solos

A video featuring the album's "The Lost and Forsaken" single, set against some of the artwork that is included in the booklet that was created by Mattias Norén, can be viewed below.

Yan Leviathan assembled AVIAN after being inspired by GAMMA RAY's performance at the ProgPower USA III festival.

TOMMY LEE, JASON BONHAM, BRANN DAILOR Perform At DRUM-OFF Grand Finals; Video Available

Pure Rock Newswire


Guitar Center today announced Ramon Sampson as the winner of its Drum-Off, the search for the nation's top undiscovered drummer.

Performing in front of a capacity crowd this past Friday, January 8 at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, 19-year-old Ramon Sampson from Cordova, Tennessee beat out four other Drum-Off finalists from all across the country, winning a prize package worth more than $40,000 and earning the title of Guitar Center's Drum-Off champion.

Ramon was chosen by a panel of judges that featured some of today's most respected and distinguished drummers, including the legendary Peter Erskine (STEELY DAN), Taylor Hawkins (FOO FIGHTERS), Drew Hester (FOO FIGHTERS, JOE WALSH), Thomas Lang, Jason Sutter (CHRIS CORNELL), Kenny Aronoff (JOHN MELLENCAMP), John Tempesta (THE CULT), Tony Royster Jr. (JAY Z), Nisan Stewart (JAMIE FOXX, 50 CENT) and Ray Luzier (KORN).

The evening's competition was the culmination of months of local and regional competitions held at each of Guitar Center's 214 stores across the country — competitions that resulted in selecting the top five undiscovered drummers in the nation from nearly 5,000 competitors.

As Guitar Center's Drum-Off champion, Ramon takes home a grand prize package worth more than $40,000, including $25,000 cash, a Roland TD-25 electronic drum kit, a custom-designed drum kit by Tama, a set of custom signature cymbals from Zildjian, drum, stick, cymbal, and drum head endorsement deals as well as a feature in Modern Drummer magazine, along with a VIP appearance at NAMM 2010 and a Monster Energy drink-endorsement deal.

Guitar Center's Drum-Off finals, hosted by Stephen Perkins (JANE'S ADDICTION), also paid homage to the drum greats of past, present, and future and featured exclusive performances by many of today's drumming elite. The evening began with a collaboration by metal heavyweights Danny Carey (TOOL) and Brann Dailor (MASTODON), followed by the Drum-Off finals where the top five undiscovered drummers in the nation competed for the drum world's ultimate prize. Following the Drum-Off finals was an emotional performance by Jason Bonham and special guests Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE) and Joe Bonamassa as they paid tribute to his father, the legendary John Bonham of LED ZEPPELIN. Next came a surprise performance from drum legend Billy Cobham, whose work with MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, Miles Davis, and Carlos Santana, as well as his own acclaimed solo work earned him the second induction in Guitar Center's Drum Legends of the night. Guitar Center's Drum-Off finals culminated in with MÖTLEY CRÜE's Tommy Lee and the STREET DRUM CORPS' Frank Zummo presentation of "Bezerk." The wild production, exclusively commissioned by Guitar Center, featured some of the world's most accomplished drummers, including a phenomenal duet by Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen's E-STREET BAND, NBC's "The Tonight Show") and his son Jay Weinberg, Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), Matt Sorum (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), José Pasillas (INCUBUS), Abe Cunningham (DEFTONES), DJ Aero, Sully Erna (GODSMACK), BANG! and more.

For Ramon Sampson, winning Guitar Center's Drum-Off is the result of his lifelong passion for music. Born in South Africa to a family of musicians, Ramon began drumming with his father at age two. By the time he was 14, he was touring South Africa, playing with his own jazz group, and studying at South Africa's prestigious National School of the Arts. In 2006, Ramon's family emigrated from South Africa to the U.S., and in 2007, he signed up for Drum-Off at his local Guitar Center. Ramon didn't make it past the preliminary rounds that year, but with much practice made it all the way to the Drum-Off finals the following year. This year, Ramon beat out over 4,000 other drummers from around the country in five rounds of intense competition, becoming Guitar Center's Drum-Off champion.

After winning the competition, Ramon is keeping his career options open, but is especially interested in educating other drummers about the craft. "I believe that in life if we are given a talent, it's meant for us to share with other people," Ramon said following his victory.

Like Guitar Center's other talent-search competitions King of the Blues and On-Stage, Drum-Off is part of Guitar Center's ongoing mission to provide emerging artists and musicians with career-altering opportunities and vehicles to achieve success. Now in its 21st year, the Drum-Off is more than just a competition to find the most technically skilled drummers from around the country. The event is designed to seek out the most passionate, innovative and authentic drummers and give them a shot at stardom. For example, previous Drum-Off winners Tony Royster Jr. and Cora "CC" Dunham have gone on to perform with stars like JAY Z and PRINCE, respectively.

Mar. 24 - Orleans, France - L'Astrolabe
Mar. 28 - Hamburg, Germany - Markthalle
Apr. 01 - Prague, Czech Republic - Abaton
Apr. 04 - Schijndel, Holland - Paaspop

Since their beginnings in Venice, California in the early '80s, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES have led the charge in the skate punk/thrash metal movement, consequently influencing an entire generation of bands along the way.

Fontana Distribution has announced "Live At The Olympic Auditorium", SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' first-ever DVD release. The DVD will street January 26, 2010 via the band's own imprint, Suicidal Records. The approximately 80-minute DVD features 16 tracks, including ST classics "Institutionalized", "War Inside My Head" and "Possessed To Skate" and captures the band in their most natural environment: onstage, uncensored and ready to tear you to shreds.

Commented SUICIDAL TENDENCIES founding vocalist Mike Muir: "The band started getting emails from some crazy guy that always said, 'I know you'll probably think I'm crazy, but I'm not. I'm wanna book ST for a show and I got this idea...'. Well, one by one we shot down the 'unique' ideas until one time he emailed and said the Olympic Auditorium was being bought by a Korean church. Shouldn't it be sent off with a special last gig? The band agreed and then the work began. The promoter — Evel Dick Donato who went on to win Big Brother — tells a bit about the show, making of etc. on the intro. Lots of drama, none more than the day before the show when I woke up and couldn't walk. But the show must go on and the back surgery would have to wait till afterwards. SUICIDAL recorded live at the Olympic Auditorium in front of 4,000 Cycos... but now you can enjoy it in the safety of your living room."

The track listing is as follows:

01. Intro
02. I Shot Reagan
03. War Inside My Head
04. Subliminal
05. Ain't Gonna Take It
06. Suicidal Failure
07. We Are Family
08. Possessed To Skate
09. I Saw Your Mommy
10. Waking The Dead
11. Show Some Love...Tear It Down!
12. Cyco Vision
13. Two-Sided Politics
14. Won't Fall In Love Today
15. Institutionalized
16. Pledge Your Allegiance

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES in January 2009 released a video for the band's new single, "Come Alive". Muir told the Great Falls Tribune about the song's lyrical content, "There's a lot of people ... their heart's beating and they've got brain waves, but they're not livin.' It's about taking control and standing up and realizing that you're always gonna have an excuse to sit back and wait and see what happens. You've gotta take control. I've gotta take control. I don't want someone else to have that control, and I'll do my best to fight to keep them from having it."

"Come Alive" is included on "Year Of The Cycos", the first album from the SUICIDAL crew featuring all-new tracks from the "cycos." The CD is available from ST's "Suicyco Street Team" web site.

Professionally filmed video footage of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' December 19, 2009 performance at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California as part of the Affliction $5.00 Christmas Concert can be viewed below.

Pure Rock Newswire

 

A brand new DROWNING POOL track entitled "Feel Like I Do" is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The song is the first single from the group's new, self-titled album, due in April via Eleven Seven Music.

Commented DROWNING POOL: "After months of lockdown in the recording studio in New Jersey, we are proud to emerge with our most solid and dynamic album yet. All you DROWNING POOL fans will dig the new tunes so crank it up and rock out with us!"

In a fall 2009 interview with The Buffalo News, DROWNING POOL drummer Mike Luce said about how the band has grown over the past few years after acquiring lead singer Ryan McCombs (formerly of SOIL), "[I'm] kind of comparing it to buddies dug into the trenches. You've kind of been through some stuff that you can't really put into words. It just makes you a tighter-knit family."

"We were starting to see our attributes," he added. "We've all grown up quite a bit regardless of the ups and downs. Everybody's matured, older, and we better handle what's expected of us when recording. We're writing some of the very best stuff we've ever been a part of. We're starting to learn the ins and outs of Ryan and he of us. Writing [is] a more tighter, easier experience."

Luce said that while 2007's "Full Circle" explored the band's horizons to the max, the band has been working on an album that mirrors the newly channeled approach to recording.

"It sounds like we're zeroing in on these attributes," Luce said. "I think we're diving into a more soulful, passionate delivery of it. I think people are gonna trip out. [We're] exploring soulful melodic kind of stuff, not just hammering at you the whole time."

ANVIL To Head To Los Angeles For CRITICS' CHOICE AWARDS

Pure Rock Newswire


ANVIL, the Canadian heavy metal band whose "Cinderella" story, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", is nominated for a Critics' Choice movie award in the category of "Best Documentary", will travel to Los Angeles to attend the awards presentation that will be held at the Hollywood Palladium this Friday, January 15.

The rockumentary has been named one of 2009's best documentaries by a slew of film critics associations across the continent, including critics in Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, and Las Vegas, as well as the International Documentary Association, the Online Film Critics Society, and the National Society of Film Critics. It also made the year-end Top 10 lists in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and Village Voice.

The 15th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards will be broadcast January 15 live on VH1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that the trip to Los Angeles means ANVIL, who kicked off its "The Anvil Experience" North American tour in Cleveland, Ohio last week, will have to cancel its January 14 date in Baltimore, Maryland and the New York City date set for January 15. But, it's not all bad news as the New York date has been rescheduled to take place on Friday, March 19, still at the Gramercy Theatre, still with an 8 p.m. show time. Tickets purchased for the January 15 show will be honored on March 19.

And there's more ANVIL tour news. Originally, "The Anvil Experience" concerts were going to open with a screening of the "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" documentary followed by the band playing a live set. However, according to ANVIL's guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, "We've been so fortunate with the success of the film and then the DVD, so many people have already seen it, so we've decided that this tour is going to be all about the music, we're just going to play our set, and just ROCK with the fans. 'The Anvil Experience' will be an evening of pure, unadulterated rock'n'roll." Local bands will open the shows.

The 27-date concert tour — the band's first major tour in more than a decade — is in support of "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", as well as the band's latest album, "This Is Thirteen", which one rock critic called ANVIL's "best record in over two decades."

ANVIL kicked off its 2010 North American tour this past Thursday night (January 7) in Cleveland, Ohio at the House Of Blues. The band performed an 85-minute set to a very large crowd despite blizzard conditions. Cleveland metal acts DESTRUCTOR and ETERNAL LEGACY provided support at the gig.

ANVIL's setlist was as follows:

01. March Of The Crabs
02. 666
03. School Love
04. Winged Assassins
05. This Is Thirteen
06. Mothra
07. Flying Blind
08. Thumb Hang
09. White Rhino
10. Mad Dog
11. Forged In Fire
12. Metal On Metal

Encore:

13. Jackhammer
