ALPHA OMEGA Management has a pleasure to announce that two of its roster bands, INFERNAL TENEBRA And DYING GORGEOUS LIES are confirmed as direct supports to TESTAMENT at Eutropia Festival, set to take place on July 28th in Rome (Italy).
Croatian melodic death metallers INFERNAL TENEBRA released their latest effort “As Nations Fall”, on January 22nd via Massacre Records. In March 2016 the band joined “The Tyrants Of Death” European tour 2016 with SUFFOCATION, CATTLE DECAPITATION and ABIOTIC. Watch INFERNAL TENEBRA’s latest video “The Seventh Seal” here:
German Female fronted thrash metal act DYING GORGEOUS LIES‘ powerful stage presence creates a toxic essence generating an ominous seething in front of every stage that puts all metal heads under its spell. Watch the band’s “First World Breakdown” video here:
Hot on the heels of the bands recent successful run as main support to TRIVIUM, UK metal band SAVAGE MESSIAH have been booked to appear as main support to TESTAMENT on a UK Tour in June. Also on the bill are BROKEN TEETH and local openers at each show.
SM Guitarist Sam S Junior comments “Testament are one of my absolute all time favorite bands and definitely one of the reasons I started playing metal! To share the stage with them on this run is going to be an amazing experience!”
The band are currently working hard on their upcoming 4th studio album. The album will be recorded at ROCKFIELD STUDIOS in Wales, site of many classic albums from bands ranging from RUSH, BLACK SABBATH to newer bands such as BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE. This record will also see Brian Wheat, founder of multi platinum US band TESLA joining as executive producer, with long time Savage Messiah producer Scott Atkins also on board. The record is scheduled for release later in 2016.
Just recently, on March 19th, SLAYER, TESTAMENT And CARCASS paid a visit at the Motley Zoo Animal Rescue. The photographer Niffer Calderwood shot some unique photos of the visit, check them out here.
We were fortunate to spend Saturday night with Slayer, Testament and Carcass who very much enjoyed hanging out and cuddling our puppies! There’s nothing better than tough guys showing their soft sides…
This was the second time we met Kerry King and Paul Bostaph, but this time we got to meet Tom Araya and Gary Holt as well. They are all huge fans of rescue and our mission, so they were happy to enjoy the puppy time. The guys from Testament were awesome too and we heard all about everyone’s animals they couldn’t wait to get home and see! This tour is almost over so they won’t have to wait long!
There was a special surprise when we Kim Thayil of Soundgarden came up to us backstage and asked to see the puppies! He and his wife were absolutely in love with them as well and they really enjoyed the whole concept and our mission.
It was a great night, and AWESOME show and we are so appreciative of the generosity of these guys and the crew! Thank you!! Thanks also to Niffer Calderwood Photography for the amazing shots 🙂
You might also note the last pic- Kerry King with a fresh bottle of Motley Zoo’s new vodka, Rescue on the Rocks, about to be released to your local grocery store and fav bars and restaurants!! Now you can party like a rock star and save lives too! Stay tuned for more on this 🙂

Tuska Open Air Festival organizers announce the 19th TUSKA taking over Helsinki next summer:
As previous years, we’re heading towards three days of metal mayhem including top-notch bands, great people and high-class area services. TUSKA 2016 will be held at Suvilahti, Helsinki from Friday 1.7. to Sunday 3.7.2016. Three-day Early Crow tickets and VIP-packages go on sale Oct 30 at 9am.
First four TUSKA 2016 bands are BEHEMOTH, TSJUDER, TESTAMENT and PRIMORDIAL.
BEHEMOTH will bring ”The Satanist” -show to Tuska stage. The band’s latest album is rich and varied in its soundscape and filled with metaphors written by front man Nergal. TSJUDER treats its Hellsinki audience with their uncompromising black metal. This Norwegian trio was formed 1993 and is still known for its unique sound.
California’s own thrash patrol TESTAMENT is one of the cornerstones of its genre. The band’s career started back in 1987 when the group released its debut album ”The Legacy”. Ever since Testament has sold more than 14 million albums worldwide and according to Alex Skolnick 11th Testament album is coming out in early 2016. That said, Tuska-goers are about to enjoy fresh Californian thrash rhythms next summer.
Ireland based PRIMORDIAL is titled as the black metal pioneer of their home country. Quintet’s sound is unique combining melodical elements of celtic and folk metal to raw black metal. During the years the band has honed its sound and song writing to top level of which ”Where Greater Man Have Fallen” -album is a solid proof.
TUSKA 2016 ticket sales start on Friday, October 30 at 9am local time. Tickets can be bought from Tiketti, Lippupalvelu and Lippupiste. Early Crow ticket pricing starts at 115 € while tag for VIP-packages is 255 €. Read more of VIP-package here: http://www.tuska-festival.fi/en/tickets

Black Dining restaurant serves dark themed dishes where as area’s Food Garden gathers varied set of upscale vendors. That said, please reserve 5 minutes of your time and travel back to last summer and start dreaming of 19th TUSKA.
Metalitalia.com and Eagle Booking Live Promotion, in collaboration with Live Nation, organized the fourth (and sold out) edition of Metalitalia.com Festival, on May 30th 2015 at Live Music Club in Trezzo Sull’Adda (Milan, Italy).
Metal Shock Finland was there and made a photo-report of the two co-headliner performances: the legendary TESTAMENT, whose new studio album is currently being written for a tentative early 2016 release, and EXODUS, for the first time in Italy after the reunion with singer Steve “Zetro” Souza and the release of the acclaimed new record “Blood In, Blood Out”.
CANNIBAL CORPSE have confirmed that they will be touring Latin America in November and December with thrash legends, TESTAMENT, issues Metal Blade. The tour begins November 17th in Brazil, and concludes on December 2nd in Guadalajara, Mexico. The combined weight of these two bands will surely mean these shows will sell fast.

A Skeletal Domain, the latest full-length from American death metal icons, Cannibal Corpse, debuted at an astounding #32 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, making it the highest charting record in the band’s storied history! This is the band’s thirteenth full-length album. It was produced by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, DevilDriver) at Audio Hammer Studios in Flordia. The record boasts twelve ravenous tracks of confrontational, meticulously-executed ill-omened brutality as only Cannibal Corpse can deliver.
