Swedish Heavy Metal act ENFORCER has finished the recordings of their upcoming new album, called “From Beyond”. This fourth ENFORCER record will contain ten new songs, produced, mixed and mastered by the band on their own.
The album will be out on February 27th (EU), March 2nd (UK) and March 10th (US). Pre-sales start today.
Vocalist and guitar player Olof Wikstrand comments: “From Beyond is faster, heavier, louder, darker and more vicious all at the same time without losing a tiny bit of what ENFORCER stand for. A fist in the face of all current trends and a stake through the throat of modernity. Total metal!”
“From Beyond” will be released on a limited edition digipak, as well as on vinyl in different colours.
Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman has refused to rule out a possible return to the band, according to metalhammer.teamrock.com.
Friedman left Megadeth in 2000 after recording five albums with the band, including “Rust In Peace” and “Countdown To Extinction”. He later moved to Japan where he has lived since 2003 and has built a successful career as a TV personality.
Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine said as recently as last summer that he was tired of being asked whether Friedman and former drummer Nick Menza would ever return to the line-up, adding that it made as much sense as “putting a rotten tooth back in your mouth.”
But Mustaine finds himself once again searching for a new guitarist and drummer after Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover quit late last year.
Asked whether he would go back to Megadeth, Friedman tells Myglobalmind: “I know that people would want to know. Honestly, I don’t have an answer. I have never said never to anything in my life, so who knows? I really don’t know.”
Friedman said last August that he had to leave Megadeth as he felt guilty taking fans’ money when he wasn’t enjoying the work.
Mustaine said at the weekend that there was exciting news in store for Megadeth fans.

Metal’s highly-esteemed storytellers BLIND GUARDIAN have just released the fourth new album trailer for their highly-anticipated tenth studio release, “Beyond The Red Mirror”, due out in Europe on January 30th, 2015, February 2nd in the UK and February 3rd, 2015 in North America.
In this new episode you can see the band working and rehearsing on different parts, as well as viewing the first cover artwork proposals. Check it out below:

Now available, BLIND GUARDIAN’s ‘Twilight Of The Gods’ mini-CD single including two live tracks recorded at 2011’s Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. Also available as a vinyl single in different colors here: http://smarturl.it/BLIND-GUARDIAN-Gods
Four-and-a-half years in the making, “Beyond The Red Mirror” was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN). The album’s spellbinding tracks showcase BLIND GUARDIAN’s long-awaited collaborative work with three different classical choirs from Prague, Budapest, and Boston, plus two grand orchestras – each featuring 90 musicians.
An endeavour demanding that attention be paid to the lyrics as much as to the music, “Beyond The Red Mirror” is a desperate search for truth, an exploration of the relativities of good and evil, a testimony of the consequences of lost opportunities, a glimpse into a distant universe’s dystopian society, and a story about a prophecy, a promise of revolution, a plot for revenge, and a miracle machine with powers far beyond what mere mortals could have dreamed possible.
Features artwork by long-time collaborator Felipe Machado “Beyond The Red Mirror” is now available for pre-order in the following formats:
· Jewel Case (10 songs)
· Limited Edition Digi-Pak / Digi-Book (11 songs)
· Double LP gatefold vinyl (11 songs)
· EarBook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, and liner notes)
· Exclusive Limited Edition NB Mail-Order Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, liner notes + bonus 10”)
The track listing for “Beyond The Red Mirror” is as follows:
01. Ninth Wave
02. Twilight Of The Gods
03. Prophecies
04. At The Edge Of Time
05. Ashes Of Eternity
06. Distant Memories (bonus track on limited editions + vinyl)
BLIND GUARDIAN will be performing on this year’s 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise in January 2015 before launching their headlining tour through Europe this upcoming April and May. A very special hometown show at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf, Germany will take place on April 25th.
All confirmed BLIND GUARDIAN dates are listed below:
