Shreds of Insanity will take place at Carvin, Hollywood on Monday, August 26th at 5PM. This is a FREE event open to the public (all ages), and will be filmed by Century Media. The concept behind this event is to showcase the talents of these four young, up-and-coming guitarists in the metal genre.
–SAVAGE MESSIAH hails from London, England and is currently recording their third album with Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, BEHEMOTH, SYLOSIS) which is slated for an early 2014 release.

–WHITE WIZZARD released their third album, The Devil’s Cut, on June 25th, and just finished a west coast run in support of the album. Jake Dreyer has studied under Chris Broderick and David Shankle and has an instrumental EP titled, In The Shadows of Madness.

– STARKILL comes from Chicago, IL and is currently on tour with WINTERSUN, ARSIS, and FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE. Their debut album, Fires Of Life’, released April 30th, was produced by the band’s very own Parker Jameson and mastered by death metal legend, James Murphy (DEATH, TESTAMENT, OBITUARY). The album’s concept, both lyrically and musically, is overlain in medieval fantasy-themed battles, mythology, and destruction, well-suited for CHILDREN OF BODOM and AMON AMARTH fans alike.

–DEATH DIVISION recently returned home to Los Angeles from the Gigantour with MEGADETH and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Their first EP, MMXIII, is now available on iTunes. Rick DiMarco is the son of a blues guitarist and was heavily influenced by ‘80s guitar shredders such as PAUL GILBERT and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN.

Los Angeles-based traditional metallers WHITE WIZZARD have been forced to drop off the ICED EARTH European tour and return home.

Commented WHITE WIZZARD in a statement: “Due the harsh economic realities in Europe, we have to cut our tour a bit short. We financed this all ourselves and in the end we have to make the tough choice to stop. We played many amazing shows and want to thank ICED EARTH for being so good to us. Sorry to miss those last shows, but we will be back. Thanks to so many wonderful fans that came out!!!”

WHITE WIZZARD released its new album, “Flying Tigers”, on September 19 via Earache Records. The CD features twelve new tracks and expands on the band’s traditional heavy metal blueprint, with songs ranging from fist-pumping NWOBHM-style anthems, through the arena rock power of “Starchild”, to a six-track epic concept piece featuring science-fiction and philosophical elements tied together with a progressive vibe.

“Flying Tigers” features the core WHITE WIZZARD lineup of bassist, songwriter and founding member Jon Leon, drummer Giovanni Durst and studio vocalist Wyatt Anderson, who featured on the band’s debut album, “Over The Top”. The album was once again recorded with producer Ralph Patlan in Phoenix, Arizona.
