Underoath Touring the UK!

Regurgitatum:

Double-Grammy nominated, Tampa-based rockers, UNDEROATH are set to release their seventh studio album, ‘Ø (Disambiguation),’ through Roadrunner Records on 4^th April.  The band have also announced a string of UK dates to coincide with the release. 

 For this album cycle, UNDEROATH welcome new drummer Daniel Davison (ex-Norma Jean) to the ranks, alongside Spencer Chamberlain (vocals), Grant Brandell (bass), Tim McTague and James Smith (guitars) and Chris Dudley (keyboards).

 “We think ‘Ø (Disambiguation)’ is our best record by far,” says frontman Spencer Chamberlain. “I’d say to fans that you may have heard UNDEROATH, but you’ve never heard UNDEROATH like this.  There isn’t a single part on this record that we would change.  When we play it live, it will show that UNDEROATH is and always has been the sum of its parts.  I couldn’t be more proud of this record and happier with where we are as a band.”

Rob Zombie announces Irish shows

Regurgitatum:

ROB ZOMBIE has announced two Irish shows this June, when he returns to this side of the pond for the Summer festival season.  As well as his appearance at this year’s Download Festival (10^th-12^th June), Rob will play two shows as follows:

Tue 28^th Jun – DUBLIN Olympia (+353 1 679 3323)

Wed 29^th Jun – BELFAST Ulster Hall (02890 334455)

Tickets went on sale at 9am this morning, Weds 22^nd December, priced from €39.20 for Dublin and £30 for Belfast (inc. booking fees).  You can buy from box offices and all usual agents, as well as online at www.ticketmaster.ie.

Not only is the man returning to these shores for the first time in 12 years in February 2011 for a 5-date sold out tour with his pyro-tastic, monster-laden stage show, but Zombie enthusiasts can also look forward to the release of the special edition of current album, ‘Hellbilly Deluxe 2’. 

Set to street on 14^th February, the deluxe version of HD2 features 3 brand new studio tracks recorded with his current band; guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Joey Jordison.  The new tunes are “Everything Is Boring,” “Michael” and “Devil’s Hole Girls And The Big Revolution,” as well as a re-imagining of “The Man Who Laughs.”   In addition, the package will include a DVD featuring the video for “Mars Needs Women” (shot during the ‘Gruesome Twosome’ US tour with Alice Cooper), a live version of the Alice classic “School’s Out” with Cooper guesting and a 30-minute tour documentary entitled “Transylvanian Transmissions,” plus sumptuous, expanded artwork.   

 

Not content to merely hijack the planet with his delightfully nefarious tunes, Rob Zombie, wearing his auteur’s hat, directed the second flick in the legendary franchise, ‘Halloween 2’, which emerged last year.   It was his fifth time writing and directing a feature film.  Zombie had also interpreted John Carpenter’s original cult horror ‘Halloween’ in 2007 and that film debuted at No. 1 at the US Box Office, shattering Labor Day weekend records.  His previous films include 2004’s essential ‘House of 1000 Corpses’ and 2005’s critically acclaimed ‘The Devil’s Rejects’.  Zombie also completed his animated, R-rated feature, ‘The Haunted World of El Superbeasto’, and guest-directed a season-closing episode of the hit TV series, ‘CSI: Miami’.  His next movie project, “Lords of Salem” has just been announced and goes into production in 2011.
