Guitar prodigy Jeff Loomis has locked himself in the studio for the past few months perfecting his highly anticipated sophomore solo record, to be released later this year. After his departure from Nevermore and the release of his solo debut -- Zero Order Phase in 2008 -- fans have been craving a new album. With a number of influential musicians appearing on the upcoming release, Jeff Loomis is more than ready to deliver. Jeff Loomis comments:
"A couple of years ago I achieved my childhood dream of releasing a solo album. With the releasing of my second record coming up, I'm proud to announce another dream come true...or should I say dreams...Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine and Chris Poland have all done guest solos for it. These guys must have given me hundreds of blisters on my fingers when I was a kid trying in vain to emulate their work. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out some of their solos. To have three guitar players that I looked up to as a young player and still hold in such high regard is simply amazing. I can't thank those guys enough."
The dude is one of the best guitarists out there today (far better than that Tosin dork). The writing really doesn't suck his dick either, just saying it's highly anticipated and fans want another one. Not like GUITAR GOD JEFF LOOMIS IS PREPARING TO UNLEASH A NEW MASTERPIECE THAT WE ARE NOT WORTHY OF
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
Integrity has announced a new release on Baltimore's A389 Recordings. Titled 'Kingdom Of Heaven' (The Araca Sessions), this EP commemorates the 20th anniversary of the material Integrity recorded in 1992 with drummer David Nicholi Araca, prior to his untimely passing.
As a bonus, A389 will be offering a very limited edition flexi of an bonus cover song that Integrity track recorded with Araca during the same period.

Burzum persists. A new Burzum album, titled "Umskiptar" (Metamorphoses), is scheduled for release in May 2012 on Byelobog Productions. "Umskiptar" consists of 65 minutes of skaldic metal, recorded in Grieghallen Studio in Bergen in September 2011.
"Umskiptar" track list:
Blóðstokkinn (Soaked in Blood) (1:16) Jóln (Deities) (5:51) Alfadanz (Elven Dance) (9:22) Hit helga Tré (The sacred Tree) (6:51) Æra (Honour) (3:58) Heiðr (Esteem) (3:02) Valgaldr (Song of the Fallen) (8:03) Galgviðr (Gallow Forest) (7:16) Surtr Sunnan (Black from the South) (4:14) Gullaldr (Golden Age) (10:20) Níðhöggr (Attack from Below) (5:00)
The lyrics on "Umskiptar" are all taken from a Norse poem, Völuspá.
Converge will commence tracking for their new album today. As has been the case for nearly all of their releases, recording will take place at Godcity in their hometown of Salem, Massachusetts, with Converge guitarist (and Godcity owner) Kurt Ballou running the show. A September release via Epitaph Records is expected (every Converge album released during the last 13 years has hit streets in September or October).
New Jersey thrash metal veterans OVERKILL will release their new album, "The Electric Age", in North America on March 27 via eOne Music. The CD will be made available in Europe on March 30 through Nuclear Blast Records.
