SOAE 1/21/93

"The blood of the innocent on the hands of the guilty"

"I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!" --Carol Anne

Did you miss me? If not, too freakin' bad! It's time once again to tune
your mind to C and check out SOAE, the electronic news&infoletter of
Screams of Abel Magazine, now available via 7 newsgroups, the FIDONET CCM
Conference, anonymous FTP at red.css.itd.umich.edu, and now via WWIVNET
CCM conference from node @7313..

SOAE is published weekly giving you the latest in brutal music, from heavy
gothic metal to grindcore to hardcore and even some... ick.. pop metal.
But that won't be much, I assure you.. :-)

(Oh go ahead and flame me, I love the attention!)

Also, on a side note, I'd like to say my vacation was found, culminated by
standing next to Christie Brinkley as she was videotaping the Precision
Lawn Chair Drill Team.. what a night. Only topping finding out that the
bad cop from "Terminator II" likes Ministry.. but anyway..

** THE NEWS **

40 days and counting... til we are blessed with BELIEVER's new album,
"Dimensions".. get ready for some serious, sincere power and techno-thrash
with all kinds of musical influences thrown in this time, from U2 to
Watchtower.. 40 days til Believer, "Dimensions".. save your pennies..

SACRAMENT vocalist Rob Wolfe has left the band to join New Hampshire
hardcore group DRY BONES.. the remaining 3 members of Sacrament are
pursuing the 24-7 Spyz route.. 

In a shocking turn of events (news term), TOURNIQUET drummer Ted
Kirkpatrick informed me that they had to let go of their lead singer, Guy
Ritter, due to his interest in lighter forms of music.. the remaining 4
members of Tourniquet are going to record a live studio EP this spring
with BLOODGOOD vocalist Les Carlson as guest vocals.. they are looking for
a permanent singer/growler to fill Guy's spot.. also Ted wanted me to let
everyone know that the now-famous Tourniquet song "Ark of Suffering" has
been tuned down to C..

BETRAYAL will be going back into the studio to record their second album,
which, according to guitarist Marcus Colon, will have a more melodic edge..

DETRITUS has already been in the studio to record their second album,
which according to vocalist Mark Broomhead, will be influenced by a great
deal more music with a progressive feel to it as well.. the album is
tentatively titled, "But Not For One"..

HOSTILITY is a new death metal band from Camden NJ that, according to a
popular thrash magazine, has become a Christian band.. they will have a
single on a compilation album put out by Restless Records..

RITUAL is remixing their demo due to bad production with VENGEANCE
RISING's Roger Martinez once again turning the knobs.. the demo is
entitled "Crematorium of the Deceased" and is low-end death metal a la
Mortification and Napalm Death..

My friends in California also let me know that PRECIOUS DEATH is working
on their second demo in 2 years since "Our Stinkin' Demo"... and they also
got much heavier since their first demo debuted...

** CORNERSTONE '93 **

You gotta go! The official lineup (brutal) for C-Stone '93 include:
BELIEVER, THE CRUCIFIED and TOURNIQUET on the main stages with THE RISEN,
REDEMPTION, DROP DEAD, OVERDRIVE and others on smaller stages.. LIVING
SACRIFICE, CIRCLE OF DUST, ORDAINED FATE and others may also appear..
BRIDE and REZ will be playing the Main Stage this year.. It's in July at
the Cornerstone Farm Campground outside of Bushnell, Illinois.. it's WORTH
GOING TO! Sign up now and save on tix..

** END OF C-STONE PLUG **

The Christian version of GWAR has reformed!! GOUGE is back together,
stuffed Easter bunny, chainsaws, guillotines and all.. they played this
past Halloween in Chicago with JPUSA's "Spinal Tap" band METAL TRUCK..
Gouge features vocalist Lee Anthony and SCIZM's Mike "Ziggy' Zeigler..

THE CRUCIFIED will be in concert in Jan/Feb in Eules TX (The Powerhouse)
and in Bartlesville, OK.. FINAL JUDGEMENT will be at the GA Tech Theatre

Feb. 21.. and JESUS FREAKS will be in Fredericksburg VA on April 3..

There will be NO 7" split between THE RISEN and ROYAL ANGUISH
unfortunately due to time conflicts, however, The Risen will go into the
studio Jan. 30 with their single "Mortal Decay" to go onto the "Up From
The Underground Vol. I" on A.R.T. Records, now featuring 15 bands.. also
look for a DRY BONES 7" and a split with SCULPTURE ("Enter The Kingdom")
and DERACINATION ("Death By Fire")..

INNER SANCTUM and NINTH HOUR are 2 new bands in Florida.. Inner Sanctum
are old Metallica style while Ninth Hour are grindcore..

BRAINCHILD is a side project band of CIRCLE OF DUST's Scott Albert with
R.E.X. Records prez Doug Mann... their debut album, "Mindwarp", will be
out on R.E.X. (no duh) this month.. also debuting this month on New Breed
Records are the GODSENT HUMANS with "Liberty or Death".. FINAL JUDGEMENT's
new demo "Drastic Dose of Reality" will be out this month along with FINAL
PROPHECY's third demo with cover artwork done by Kyle Phillips, known for
his work with various underground death metal magazines.. 

(note: anybody know a band that's a cross between Godflesh and Sonic
Violence? If so, I'm all ears!! Haven't heard one yet)

SEVENTH ANGEL will be going into the studio in March to record their third
album, no title as of yet... new guitarist in the band is DETRITUS' Mark
Broomhead who will play for both bands, and new bassist is Jon Willis..
look for a "medieval/doom/death/thrash/speed" mix.. Whoa!

MORTIFICATION is in the studio now recording their third album (that was
fast!) after winding up their tour of New Zealand.. their current album,
"Scrolls of the Megilloth", is now distributed by Nuclear Blast Records..
also Nuclear Blast is releasing a compilation album with a Mortification
single on it, and their long-length video, "Grind Planets"..

DECISION-D has been signed to Nuclear Blast!! No word yet as to date of
studio recording...

And finally, 3 of the 5 members of the old group Viking are now forming a
Christian band in PA.. more details as they arrive...
