The Seedbed Of Evil: Grimness (Italy)

O´right dudes, today we have this Italian band called "Grimness", they play a really good Black Metal, this guy Valerio have a great vocal style, violent, raw with a epic touch. Talking about the music i think they play a classic Black Metal style, with some elements of Thrash Metal, and some blastbeats (for me that is the best way), the drums are insane (no technical shit), chaotic!!! I realy like that sound in a record, because you can feel the essence of the band i think... No painted faces, i like that attitude, just get your instrument and play!! So, if you like bands like Tsjuder or the legendary Mortuary Drape, this guys are a good option for you, go listen this guys and cut some heads!!

KEEP SUPPORTING METAL!!!

Grimness are:
Valerio - Vocals/Guitar
Andrea - Guitars
Giulio - Bass
Jonah - Drums

The Seedbed of Evil: Shredding Consequences (Mexico)

Great 4 piece Death Metal band, this guys have the European Style, great riffs work, the bass lines are perfect, and the drummer have an excellent precision!
The voice is really cool, angry, corrosive and strong, i already hear the three songs of their Myspace profile and i have to say they surprise me with this song "Worlderness", the begin sounds like Carcass in the "Heartwork" era, and the solo are amazing excellent technique, they have some melodic elements in some parts of their songs, i think they are one of the best bands from Mexico. If you like Carcass in the Heartwork era, this is perfect for you!!

Boludo - Drums
Prix - Bass

Pestilence Denied Entry Into The United States

Pestilence will not headline today, May 24th, at the Maryland DeathFest due to their detainment at the US border. Band leader Patrick Mameli and guitarist Patrick Uterwyck were kept in custody for several hours and sent back to the Netherlands late yesterday.

Upon entering the US and stopping at customs they discovered their paper work, which was sent to them, for their travels was not properly completed for the required working visas. Originally they were told all was in order and to proceed on the trip to the US. They spent a total of 44 hours in flights and detainment.

“We are extremely sad and disappointed not being able to perform on the MDF. Not having received the proper information on our visa application, we were under the impression that what we received from the securing visas and working permits office was the actual working permits,” explains band leader Patrick Mameli. “We were kept under custody by the border security police for 4 hours trying to do everything in our power to let us pass, but all our efforts failed. They sent us home on the next plane. Hopefully we will be given another chance to perform for you, our fans!”

What will happen for the future of this tour is currently unknown. We want to stress that Mayhem has absolutely nothing to do with this situation.
