WHHHAAAAATTTT!!!

I can only hope this isn't true. (I can't find it anywhere else). Dragonforce can never be Dragonforce without ZP. Dunno if I could face seeing them live without him.  It would be the end of an era, and a very depressing end too.

Dragon Force Singer Leaves Band

The U.S. branch of Roadrunner Records released a story at approximately 6:03 p.m. EST today (Monday, March 8) via its official web site (and distributed through the site's official RSS feed) containing the following text (Note: The story has since been removed from the site):

"DRAGONFORCE have split with lead singer ZP Theart. The band issued the following statement regarding the matter:

"'It is with great regret that DRAGONFORCE announce a parting of the ways with singer ZP Theart. This is due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion but the rest of the band sincerely wishes ZP great success with his future projects.

"'While the creative core members have begun writing the fifth album, they have also started a worldwide search for a new vocalist.'

"'We are looking for a powerful, melodic singer to write a new chapter of DRAGONFORCE with us,' said guitarist Herman Li.

"Anyone wishing to audition for the vacant position should apply following the instructions right here."

A screenshot of the story as it appeared in Google Reader (a web-based aggregator, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline) can be viewed below.

DRAGONFORCE's latest album, 2008's "Ultra Beatdown", sold 24,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart.

DRAGONFORCE had its first two studio albums — "Valley Of The Damned" and "Sonic Firestorm" — reissued on February 22, 2010 via Spinefarm Records U.K. Both titles were made available with updated packaging and bonus audio/DVD content, some of it exclusive to these releases.

Extreme: "Take Us Alive" DVD

Reunited Massachusetts hard rockers EXTREME will release the "Take Us Alive" live CD and DVD on April 23 in Europe and May 4 in the U.S. via Frontiers Records.

In 2008, following a 13-year hiatus, EXTREME returned to the stage for its "Take Us Alive" world tour, which encompassed 75 cities and multiple continents in support of the band's new record, "Saudades de Rock".

This recording captures EXTREME at the peak of its game with a renewed enthusiasm led by Gary Cherone's spellbinding stage performance and powerful vocals, Nuno Bettencourt's ferocious guitar, Pat Badger's flawless bass and Kevin Figueiredo's pounding drums and spot-on back-up vocals.

This brilliant performance was recorded on the last night of their tour at the House of Blues on August 8, 2009 in EXTREME's hometown of Boston.

"We wanted to do something really special for our hometown fans that were there for us since the beginning… the club days," states Nuno. "It was the last night of the tour and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by bringing it back to where it all started… Boston."

The concert showcases material from all five EXTREME albums and exhibits the band's broad stylistic abilities. Features include a blistering rendition of the LED ZEPPELIN-minded "Comfortably Dumb", the scorching "Play With Me", the funked-up "Cupid's Dead" as well as the anthemic "Get The Funk Out". Songs like EXTREME's #1 hit "More Than Words" and the Top 5 single "Hole Hearted" highlight the crowds enthusiasm and loyal support their fan base has had for this beloved foursome.

"As much as we enjoy recording, for me, I've always loved playing live for the fans," Cherone says. "We couldn't wait to get out there and play for our fans."

The DVD will contain four unreleased bonus videos from "Saudades de Rock""King of the Ladies", "Interface", "Run" and "Ghost". The clips were produced by Nuno Bettencourt.

"This DVD/CD is a culmination of all the years we played together and the chemistry the four of us put out live," explains Bettencourt.

01. Decadence Dance
02. Comfortably Dumb
03. Rest in Peace

Judas Priest's British Steel: The Legacy Edition

Sony Music
has set a May 11 release date (one day earlier internationally) for "British Steel: Legacy Edition", the limited deluxe expanded edition of JUDAS PRIEST's classic 1980 album "British Steel".

"British Steel" was the sixth studio album by JUDAS PRIEST. Released on April 14, 1980 and produced by Tom Allom, "British Steel" was recorded at Tittenhurst Park in England — a mansion owned at the time by former THE BEATLES member Ringo Starr, and previously owned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

"British Steel" has long been considered one of metals all-time classics. It was with this release that PRIEST truly broke through to the masses, with a pair of tracks that have become fixtures on rock radio — the enduring anthems "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight". But like all classic albums, there is not a single weak track detected on "British Steel", as evidenced by such standouts as the perennial concert highlight "Metal Gods", as well as "Rapid Fire", "Grinder", "United" and "The Rage", among others.

In 2009 JUDAS PRIEST performed the "British Steel" album in its entirety for the first time ever as part of their 30th anniversary USA tour. A filmed recording of the show on the August 17, 2009 at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida will be included in both the limited-edition deluxe and deluxe releases. The show was captured in front of a vibrant American audience and in full 5.1 surround and stereo sound. Known for their high-energy and spectacular stage shows the band played the entire "British Steel" album in sequence as well as a number of other well-know tracks from their catalog.

The live concert was mixed in stereo and 5.1 by the original "British Steel" producer Tom Allom. In addition, the DVD will include the bonus content of "The Making Of British Steel", a 30-minute doc featuring the four original band members. This new DVD brings the live PRIEST experience like no other live recording.

"British Steel: Legacy Edition" will come in two formats:

* Limited edition deluxe three-disc to include original album, live DVD and live CD (***TO BE CONFIRMED***)
* Deluxe two-disc to include original album plus live DVD

Full track listings are as follows:

Agree Beck. I was not happpy with Maiden's last album. I don't like it when bands tour their new album before anyone has had a chance to hear it.

Maybe the cover will have Eddie in one of those gay Star Trek uniforms with his phaser set to "irritate".

[J.D. DIAMOND] Saturday, March 06, 2010 1:26:41 AM 
Who knows but if it is the album cover without "Eddie" it will be the worst Iron Maiden album cover of all time,absolutely terrible for them. As for seeing them live its all up to you obviously of course but as I said if it were me I'd wait till I hear the album.If its "ok" then I'd go if it sucks no fuckin way am I giving those greedy dudes any of my money.

I'm hoping it's a decoy, maybe he's a deranged distant-cousin of Eddie or something. Maybe the album cover will have both of them fighting to the death! That'd be pretty cool. It would make that thing much more tolerable. As far as the actual concert goes, we shall see. Maybe...maybe not....leaning toward maybe...

Yep, the proof will be in the listening. I have no doubt Maiden can deliver, we'll just have to wait and see if they do

In the end, I guess we need to hear some music before making proper judgements on it. I believe Maiden can deliver the goods, but who knows? Anyway, now the album details are out there should be a single along fairly soon. (Can't wait! )

From Corrosion, Deliverance or In The Arms Of God, from Monster Magnet Dopes To Infinity or Powertrip to begin with. Check out the new metal meltdown show Corrosions song Heavens Not Overflowing is the first song after the first voice break. Thats one of their best I reckon. If you like that you'll love Corrosion.

I haven't heard much, if any, of their stuff. What can you recommend from their catalogues?

For me it'd be Corrosion Of Conformity and Monster Magnet.
