The Black Dahlia Murder’s DVD, “Majesty”, hits Billboard Charts in US &  Canada!

Metal Blade Records is proud to announce that Detroit,  MI's The Black Dahlia Murder has just hit the Billboard  Top Music Videos Chart at the #2 position in the US and  #5 position in Canada with the band's brand new and first  ever DVD release, Majesty.

Since the band's inception, The Black Dahlia Murder has had a relentless worldwide  touring schedule ranging from successful appearances at European  Festivals to a blistering set at Loud Park in Japan to tirelessly  crisscrossing the US on Ozzfest and Sounds of the Underground, not  to mention all the headlining and support slot tours the band has  been a part of.

This side splitting peek into the hard working  band's humor laced brand of daily life will have you smelling the  funk of the van from coast to coast and keep you coming back for  more.

Here's  what vocalist Trevor Strnad had to say about reaching the #2 and #5  spots on the Billboard Top Music Videos  Charts; “We  in The Black Dahlia Murder are completely ecstatic about the  reception of our first DVD release for Metal Blade Records,  Majesty! I won't  lie and say that I had no expectations of the release; throughout  its creation I had an inkling that we may be onto something.

“Having  the second highest charting music DVD in the states and the fifth  highest in Canada is more than enough proof that I was right! Thank  you to the fans…this DVD is dedicated to you and you alone. You are  the reason this band stays strong and keeps on going. Our most  sincere thanks to our friend and director Robbie Tassaro for his  undying devotion to the project. Without him, Majesty never  would have happened. Stay tuned to the BDM…big things are on the  horizon!”

Majesty, 2DVD Digipak includes  over 3 hours of footage featuring interviews, performances and  complete The Black Dahlia Murder audio/visual history.   


 
Evergreen Terrace reveals album title, post studio  update!

Evergreen Terrace is  hard(ly) at work tracking the music for, ‘Almost  Home’,  their  follow up to 2007's critically acclaimed, Wolfbiker.

Josh James comments:  "We are almost finished tracking the music for our new  record titled ‘Almost  Home’  and let me be the first to say that this record is not going  to suck! Next week we head down to Audio Hammer Studios in  Orlando,  FL to start laying down vocals with metal mastermind, Jason  Suecof.

We are currently working on some US and European tour  dates so keep your ears/eyes open. If you live on Earth then  we might be coming near your town once this record comes, and  if you don't live on Earth, then you're an alien and probably  eat cats. And PETA freaks out when you eat cats. Trust me,  it's ok to eat donuts but not dog nuts, that's  hypocrisy."


 
Job For A Cowboy post ‘Ruination' cover art and reveal more album  details!

Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music  powerhouse Job For A Cowboy has  completed work on its hotly-anticipated sophomore album,  entitled  'Ruination'.  The record will see a July 3 / 6, 2009 European release date  via Metal Blade Records.

The  cover artwork for 'Ruination' has  been unveiled.  The striking, quasi-conceptual piece was  designed by Brent Elliott White and takes its inspiration from Job For A Cowboy front man Jonny Davy's album lyrics and  concepts.

Job For A Cowboy

“The ideas  involved with the new album branch off from our last record,  ‘Genesis' but are more politically based,” states Davy.  Topics addressed by the album's schema revolve around modern  day worldwide dilemmas and controversial issues including  “Propaganda in the main stream media and television,  humanitarian rights of Northern  Korea, the modern genocidal government of Nubia, the use of  torture in American military tactics, overruling by world  governments and Police states / Martial  law”.

Job For A Cowboy will shoot its  first music video from 'Ruination'  –  for the new song 'Regurgitated  Disinformation' - on Saturday, June  6 in Philadelphia,  PA and is inviting fans to attend and be a part of the event.  Presented by R5 Productions & 94 WYSP/Rockers, the  JFAC  shoot will take place in Philly's First Unitarian Church  beginning at 8:00 PM EDT.

The follow up to the  quintet's celebrated debut album 'Genesis',  'Ruination'  was  recorded at Audio Hammer Productions in  Sanford,  FL with Producer Jason Suecof. The album features ten tracks  of state-of-the-art heavy metal music and marks the  Job For A Cowboy recording  debuts of drumming prodigy Jon “The Charn” Rice, who has  toured with the band since the release of 'Genesis' and  guitarist Al Glassman. Upon the release of 'Ruination',  Job For A Cowboy will hit the road as one of the featured acts of the 2009  “Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival” alongside Slayer, Marilyn  Manson and more. The 27-date North American march is slated to  launch on July 10 in Sacramento, CA.
