| 02.07.2006: Mehdi Leaves Furia |
FURIA and Season of Mist are sad to announce that Mehdi Khadouj (keyboards & backing vocals) will leave the band just after the last three shows scheduled (see below).
Mehdi wishes to focus exclusively on his band BEYON-D-LUSION, in which he plays the guitar. We all wish him good luck for the future, but please note he will stay close to FURIA, and will probably appear on stage with the band from time to time.
Mehdi won't be replaced, since FURIA's most recent songs are all about power and guitars, and the keyboards will take a smaller part in the band's future.

| 28.06.2006: Melancholic Art - Live video of concert with Krisiun is available |
In May 28th, Melancholic Art played in a concert with the death metal legend Krisiun, promoting the re-release of the album Força Black Metal Pampeano, which was released and sold-out in the last year and is being released again, now with a new cover artwork.
According to Anwar Amon (vocals): "This show was very important, besides of the re-release of our cd, after the first 1.000 sold-out copies, it was one of the most polemic concerts and with the best response, which shows why we are here, to break every moralism. Watch out, because more massacres will come! Ave Lucifer Rex!"
More than 1.500 fans went to the show, and now the band put for download a live recording containing the songs "Força Black Metal Pampeano", which carries the name of the album, and "Bestial Carnage Flesh".
The video can be download through the band's website - www.melancholicart.com or watched online through MySpace - www.myspace.com/melancholicart

| 19.06.2006: About new album of Megadeth |
Megadeth is currently working on their new as-yet-untitled Roadrunner Records debut album. Tracks were layed down at SARM Studios in the UK this past April where Mustaine was working with co-producer Jeff Balding, who helmed 2004's The System Has Failed, and now the boys are back in the States working to finish the project.
Said Dave, "We rented John Bonham's (Led Zeppelin legend) drum kit for Shawn (Drover - drums) and he was beside himself. He went to England as a young man and came back a seasoned veteran because the way he is playing, I didn't know he had that talent. I knew he had a gift. He even surpassed my wildest dreams for what drums should sound like on a Megadeth record. It's really rewarding to go through all the extent that we did and the difficulty to make everything happen because I believe sonically what we've got down right now is probably some of the heaviest bass (courtesy of James Lomenzo) and drum sounding tracks that we've had in a really long time. As far as the speed and the tempo or anything like that, that's up to other people to listen to and see if they like it or not. Tone-wise what we have right now is really cool."
When asked if all the drums and bass parts were completed, he continued: "Yes. Glenn (Drover - guitarist) has four songs done. I just started my overdubs and I'm doubling my tracks so I'm about four songs into it. The record consists of twelve songs - 11 for an American release and 12 for Japan. Unless Roadrunner adds an additional track from something previously and puts out all 12 tracks around the world, which I think would be cool. I'd like to see all 12 tracks go around the world and give Japan a live track or something."
As for early song titles, Mustaine could only say, "You know me, these song titles change everyday! And I won't know the record title until I've committed to the damn artwork."

| Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Municipal Waste are the reigning kings of the New Wave of Crossover. Municipal Waste deliver blazing fast, raw thrash-core in the tradition of DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, "Animosity"-era Corrosion Of Conformity, Nuclear Assault and Attitude Adjustment. All barely in their 20's, the members of Municipal Waste inject youthful energy and humor into a classic genre they were too young to catch the first time around. See them vaccinate the Reading and Leeds crowd against staying still, and infect them with the “go mental” virus at Reading Friday 25th August 2006 and Leeds Saturday 26th August 2006 on the Lock-up stage. Where you should be able to catch such wonders as "Thrashing's My Business And Business Is Good", "Thrash? Don't Mind If I Do", and "Drunk As Shit".
