P.O.D. are currently in the middle of pre-production and have just posted a video on their new homepage offering all the Warriors around the world an exclusive look into the recording of their new yet un-titled record. The video features sound clips of new songs and shows the guys in the house they're doing pre-production with producer Greg Fidelman.
In December the band furthermore was presented a plague for 1.3 million worldwide sales of their latest album "Payable on Death", their first record with guitarist Jason Truby. This was their message to the Warriors about the award in their recent newsletter:
"...More importantly, it represents a very special gift from you, our Warrior family from around the globe.
THANK YOU.
We are humbled and grateful.
Know that we will continue to do music our way... with an ear to the streets. Music from the heart, for the people. NO COMPROMISE.
7 million records later, we never would have imagined this.......
- sonny, wuv, traa, truby / jan. 2005"

After their EP "The Pulse Is Overrated" on Harvest Earth Records in 2004 Winter Solstice are now ready to hit the mainstream with their upcoming Metal Blade debut "The Fall Of Rome", coming out on March 7th! Similar to their friends and labelmates As I Lay Dying (whose singer Tim Lambesis also has a guest appearance on the album) Winter Solstice deliver a sound with "a lot of melodic catchiness" - "driving and fast, keeping on beating you down with very few breaks in the action!"
Check out the press info for the record here (English) and here (German) and then listen to their song "Following Calligula"! These young guys bring you the metal that may stick in your head for quite a while. Definitely looking forward to this record!

I just wanted to ask everybody who reads the news on here to pray for Daniel, the singer of Opposition Of One, that he may recover health and leave behind the sickness that holds him back to play the shows with his band. The "Pfeiffersche Drüsenfieber" he got is not very funny and with regard to their upcoming shows and the US-tour in March I wanted to encourage you to pray for Daniel's recovering! Jesus is our Healer. Today and forever!! Please keep him in your prayers!! Thank you!

Read two MxPx DVD Reviews in German here and here, the latter being written by myself. MxPx have also posted about the actual reasons the Europe tour had been cancelled:
"While it is true that there were dates for Europe posted on the MxPx Tour page, those dates were somehow posted prematurely and we apologize for that. The tour was almost confirmed and then we got news that some of the promoters were shuffling dates and venues to avoid conflict with other tours going through Europe at the same time. For example: Green Day, Good Charlotte. The end result was that the MxPx tour got longer and longer with big holes in the schedule... It had come to the point where it was going to interfere with the time scheduled for the band to record the new record due out mid 2005. Management made the decision to postpone Europe and is hoping to have it rescheduled for late Winter or Spring of 2005."

Next Saturday, New Year's Day 2005, we kick off and celebrate the beginning of HxC Pray Day!!! This special monthly happening has the purpose to unite people from all over the world and especially Europe to pray for the groups and the people who love hard music. We want to take a stand for what is our heart's desire, because prayer has power and God's blessing makes a new year a year of worth!
So you´re invited to pass along the information about HxC Pray Day and give some printed copies of those pdf-sheets (German & English) to your friends or to people who might also be interested in being a part of HxC Pray Day!!
"My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him;
for my hope and expectation are from Him." (Psalm 62:5)

We were thinking about adding some new stuff to the site for quite a while. Now we finally made it and there are two new sections up: Hearts On Fire (which will only be in german for now; why, see the site) and the HxC Pray Day (credits for the original idea go to Shawn of former HardcoreChristianMichigan site!). Also, we've added a discussion forum at MySpace.com. You can reach it through "Community". We hope you like the new structure/content and we it would be cool to get some feedback! Have a good time and be sure to spread the word about the Pray Day!!!

Extol decided to name their upcoming new album "Blueprint" - scheduled to arrive in stores in Europe on February 21st via Century Media! A release date for North America is yet to be announced. Following was posted by the band on their website:
"Extol´s fourth full-length album is now officially entitled Blueprint (short for The Blueprint Dives). It will be released February 21st in Europe, whereas a date for the States is yet to be confirmed. There will be a very special opportunity for you to check out the sample song "Gloriana" on the Century Media compilation-cd "Metal For The Masses Vol. 3". The cd can already now be found for sale at the store Hot Topic in the States!
At the moment, lots of things are stirring in the Extol-camp. Final touches to the album cover are laid down by Asterik Studios in Seattle, USA. A music video for the track "Pearl" from the upcoming Extol album will be recorded in Trondheim, Norway this week. A brand new web-site is under construction. A new t-shirt based on the song "26 Miles From Marathon" has been designed and can now be ordered online, so be sure to check out the merchandise section. To support the new album we are planning the most extensive worldwide touring from Extol to date, and can already reveal that several shows have been booked.
We will get back to you with more details as these things develop, so stay tuned everyone. We believe 2005 will become a very special and exciting year for Extol, and of course right now we can´t wait to get the record out and ourselves on the road to meet you people!!!"

MTV.com just released an article about P.O.D.´s studio progress. They hope to have Damien Marley (Bob Marley´s son) and maybe even Jay-Z make guest appearances. So far the guys have recorded 24 songs, expecting to release the album around springtime. Talking about the sound of the new material drummer Wuv states:
"We probably brought it back more to the old-school P.O.D., like the early '90s stuff that we were putting out. We had a vision of the style we wanted to go back to — more heavy but with a lot of hip-hop and reggae influence like our older albums used to have."
"When the band sets up shop in San Francisco in mid-January, it'll be working with Greg Fidelman, who's engineered albums for artists including Slipknot, System of a Down, Weezer, Jet and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Fidelman will step into the role of co-producer for the first time on the P.O.D. project."
The P.O.D. sound of the early´90s featured their album "BROWN", which was kind of paving the way for the success the boys would gain the following years. Therefore I´m gladly remembering their old-school sound and anticipating another great P.O.D. record. Definitely looking forward to their new stuff!

If you're fan of hardcore/metalcore with a bold message you should check out Foreknown. These guys will release their first full-length entitled "Calm Seas Don't Make Sailors" on Blood & Ink Records on January 14th. To make sure people get to know Foreknown the best way possible they let you pre-listen the complete(!) album on their purevolume site! In my opinion one of the best ways to promote your band and at the same time invite people to buy the CD if they like it. Foreknown offer to pay fast and secure through PayPal and get the CD shipped to you for 10$! Check them out!

Callisto got some great news, too: " Yes, it's true. We have signed a deal with Earache Records. This is a license and distribution deal between Fullsteam Records and Earache concerning our debut album "True Nature Unfolds", taking the album practically all over the world. Earache is going to press a new edition of the album, and the release is preliminary set for February 2005. More details to be announced shortly. This is a big step for us and the deal undoubtedly takes the band next step further." Awesome!
