 Hello,everyone! I have a few questions and news about some bands.  If you
could help at all please post and/or e-mail me .Thanks in advance:)

	1)CARCASS-I caught them during the Campaign for musical
destruction tour last summer and got a chance to hang with Bill.He said
they already had about 6 new songs (at the time) and by now they are sure
to have more. He also told me they are probably going to start in the
studio late '92/early '93.

	2)DISMEMBER-There video for "Soon To Be Dead" was filmed and i
assume it was released at the time of or before PIECES was as there are
liner notes refering to it. Does anyone know anything about this or where
I could get a copy??? .......oh, they are also in the studio and there new
album is set to be released spring '93(tentative of course).

	3)MORBID ANGEL-Contrary to rumers,Robert Brunelle is still in the
band (good) and all those rumors were just that,rumors.I'm not sure if
they have signed to any label as of yet ( last I knew they were looking
for a new home, no there not on Earache any more :-( ).Also they have
avideo of "Blessed are the Sick" I have not seen it but heard that it
played on MTV'S fabulous Headbangers Ball.If anyone knows anything about
this or where to get a hold of the video, and what's new with the band
PLEASE let me know .....

	4)ENTOMBED-L.G. Petrov is back in the band last time I checked
(Petrov is the original vocalist that appeared on Left Hand Path) and they
are also in the studio with an album planned for release around the date
of Dismember's (No collaborations here ,kids,too bad,eh?).I have no idea
what it will be titled.Entombed also has a video,which I also heard played
on Headbangers ball.The video is for "Stranger Aeons".Once again I missed
it and if anyone Knows where Icould see it please let me know.

	5)BENEDICTION-"Dark is the Season" was released last month in the
US. It is by far the best thing they have done yet and I eagerly await the
next release.Among other things it includes a cover track of ANVIL's
"Forged in Fire" with Barney on vocals. Pick this up!!!

	6)NAPALM DEATH-I also got achance to talk to Barney about
hardcore, and other topics when they played here with the "Campaign..." tour.
Mich and Barney said that Napalm was taking a break after this tour for a
few months but if that is still there plans I have no idea....The
highlight of there set was when Barney bitched about bars and how he hates
playing them (I'm underaged and had to watch from the back door of the
ROCKCANDY here in Seattle) and promptly presumed to dedicate a track off
of "Utopia.." to "the kids outside"  :)

	7)MELVINS-Yes they are heavy as hell,yes they play with bands like
Gwar (who I dispise) but they rule and they just were signed to ATLANTIC
of all labels!!! There last Boner records release was a 1-track (37 mins.
I think) CD untitled, which is actually a few songs (some from the Melvana
boot.) long. It also includes a cover which me and my roommate recognize
but can't place...AAAAARGH!!!

Other stuff...CATHEDRAL has a video from there Earache/Columbia release
for "Autumn Twighlight"...check out BRUTAL TRUTH for old school grind
(Terrorizer influenced these guys alot I think) very cool though,and it
includes THE fastes drumming I've ever heard(sorry Mick and Pete)
...SINISTER is on Nuclear Blast and rule!!!They are from Holland and
there music has a lot of Slayer-esque/grind hooks in it,Very
cool...MERCYLESS,cheezy name but a good band,from France and I think
they'll go pretty far (as far as Thrash/Death goes anyway)... ROTTREVORE's
latest on Relapse (actually I think it's over a year old but screw you I
just got it) is the most Brutal thing I've heard since INCANTATION check
it out...

  	....and I'm going to check out. If you have any news pertaining to any
of the bands listed or any grind/death/thrash bands TALK TO ME !!! There
is no one out there in net. land that does.

P.S. OH,WAIT!!!! Does anyone know of any cool bands touring the US right
now??? It is once in a blue moon that any grind bands come to Seattle,    
Washington and I would like to know of any,any,ANY that are touring and
where.....album releases too.

Thanks.
