Two songs from the new Chicago-based modern rock/alternative band HEAVY THE FALL, featuring a guest appearance on drums by ANTHRAX's Charlie Benante, have been posted on the HEAVY THE FALL MySpace page. "Kill Me Now" and "Tidal Waves" both come off the group's as-yet-untitled debut EP, which was produced by Benante. The recording was engineered and mixed by Asim Ali (MUDVAYNE, LEFTSETTER).

HEAVY THE FALL features in its ranks former AVERNUS guitarist Erik Kikke. The group's current linup is rounded out by vocalist Daniel Graunke and bassist Michael V.

Static-X is breaking out of Hell

The cover artwork for DIMMU BORGIR'a new album, "In Sorte Diaboli", is finished.

A small version of the artwork that will appear on DARK TRANQUILLITY's new album, "Fiction", has been posted online at Century Media's official web site.

Due in April via Century Media Records, "Fiction" was mixed by the acclaimed Tue Madsen (HIMSA, THE HAUNTED) and encompasses all of the elements on which the band built their career: thought-provoking lyrics, shredding guitar work, captivating melodies and sheer brutality. This offering is perhaps best compared to a modern-day version of the group's revered classics "The Gallery" and "The Mind's I", only with more intensity behind it.
