BRAINSTORM - Andi Mailaender leaves the band!
BRAINSTORM - Andi Mailaender leaves the band!
Time To Say Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!
15 years of Brainstorm - a damn long time!
... a dream I have worked hard for: record deal, successful releases, festivals all over the world! Endless tours, bands and friends all over the world.
Because my professional situation is not going to ease up in the long run and I won't be able to combine it with the upcoming touring for the new Brainstorm release, I'm left with no choice but to leave Brainstorm...Too often the guys had to do without me, in difficult times they always stood beside me as friends, as the BS family and supported me in every possible way. I don't want to strain this friendship any further!!
I'm certain that the new BS album will deservedly bring the band further forward, the pay for the hard work of the band!! After so many hardworking years with each other, I don't want to hold the band back anymore and allow the band a kickstart for the release of the new album and the upcoming world tour. Of course I'll continue to be present through http://www.myspace.com/amailaender and will follow Brainstorm's career with mixed feelings... and please feel free to contact me whoever you are!
My thanks go out to the BS guys, Todde, Andy, Mille, Dieter and their families, our super BS crew, webmistress Marlies, my family, my parents, my brother, Metal Blade Records and most of all our fantastic BS fans all over the world!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's our doorway to survive
Best wishes,
Andi Mailaender

DESASTER & FLESHCRAWL to release new albums!!!
DESASTER to release "666-Satan´s Soldiers Syndicate"
German Blackthrashers DESASTER have finished recordings for their new, sixth album "666-Satan´s Soldiers Syndicate". The album was recorded in the Harrows Studio, Holland (Asphyx, Pentacle, Occult, Soulburn etc.).
"666-Satan’s Soldiers Syndicate” again shows the band´s typical thrashing, blacking riff metal without mercy - where there is no space for any innovation and modern elements! It’s what DESASTER is all about: “A FIST IN YOUR FACE METAL ATTACK”!
Beware and be prepared for sharp riffs, pounding drums, roaring bass and screaming hell...
Besides crushing everything in it’s way, “666-Satan’s Soldiers Syndicate” also features guest appearances by Proscriptor (Absu), A.A. Nemtheanga (Primordial) and Ashmedi (Melechesh).
"666 - Satan´s Soldiers Syndicate" will be released September, 7th (G/A/CH/I) / September, 10th (Europe)!

FLESHCRAWL to release "Structures Of Death"!
German Deathheads FLESHCRAWL have finished recordings for their new album "Structures Of Death"!
For the first time in the bands history FLESHCRAWL didn´t record in Sweden, but in Studio Toninfusion in their home city of Ulm/Germany with Martin Schmitt on the soundboard. The clear and heavy rough mixes proved their decision to be right! Pelle Saether at Studio Underground in Västeras, Sweden mixed and mastered the album once again and delivered the perfect job!
“Structures Of Death" contains 12 in-your-face old school Death Metal songs with a lot of variation. Killer melodies and smashing, neckbreaking riffs of incomparable catchiness make “Structures Of Death" one of the best Death Metal releases in 2007!
Tracklisting "Structures Of Death"
01 Skulls of the Rotten (Intro)
02 Structures of Death
03 Into the Fire of Hell
04 Written in Blood
05 A Spirit dressed in Black
06 Fleshcult
07 Into the Crypts of scattered Souls
08 Anthem of Death
09 Nothing but Flesh remains
10 Rest in Pain (R.I.P)
11 About Mortality
12 War of the Dead
The limited first edition will be released in Digipack format and will include a bonustrack ('Rockin´ Is My Business - cover by The Four Horsemen)!
FLESHCRAWL is:
Sven Gross – vocals
Mike Hanus – guitar
Oliver Grbavac – guitar
Nico Scheffler – bass
Bastian Herzog – drums
"Structures Of Death" will be released the 21st of September (G/A/CH/I) / 24th of September (Europe)!

AEON to release "Rise To Dominate"!
AEON to release "Rise To Dominate"!
Finally! The new AEON album "Rise To Dominate" is finished and to be unleashed upon mankind shortly! Be prepared for a technical Death Metal apocalypse! "Rise To Dominate" is AEONs first album for Metal Blade Records and their third in total.
According to the band, the new songs are even “more brutal and raw than ever before”. With all this going for the band, it’s no wonder that no other than Dan Swanö (BLOODBATH, EDGE OF SANITY, a.o.), could be persuaded to mix the record. All hell’s about to break loose around AEON!
What can possibly be a bigger honor for a brutal death metal band than having the godfathers of the genre, CANNIBAL CORPSE, declare to be fans of this band and take them out on a European tour? That’s exactly what happened with AEON. As a matter of fact, CANNIBAL bassist Alex Webster doesn’t waste a chance to sing AEONs praises: “AEONs musicianship is among the best in death metal, but their songwriting is what truly sets them apart. It's rare to find a death metal band that is simultaneously crushingly brutal and infectiously catchy. AEON is one of those rare bands!“
"Rise To Dominate" will be released the 7th of September (G/A/CH/I) - 10th of September (Europe)!
Tracklist "Rise To Dominate"
1) Helel Ben-Shachar
2) Spreading Their Disease
3) Living Sin
4) Hate Them
5) You Pray To Nothing
6) Caressed By The Holy Man
7) House Of Greed
Godless
9) When The War Comes
10) There Will Be No Heaven For Me
11) Luke 4-5-7
12) No One Escapes Us
