Megadeth - New Album Title Announced
Dave Mustaine has announced that the forthcoming Megadeth album will be called 13.
In a pre-show interview backstage at the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, UK, Mustaine said of the new record, "I started playing guitar at 13 and this is our 13th record and I was born on the 13th. As soon as I said I was going to call it 13, I started noticing 13 everywhere."
The CD was recorded at Mustaine's own California studio, Vic's Garage, and produced by Johnny K, who's worked with Machine Head, Disturbed and many other bands. Artist John Lorenzi, who designed the group's last two releases, United Abominations and Endgame, as well as their Warchest boxed set, will be doing the artwork once again.

Anette Olzon - Demos Of Two Solo Songs Online
Anette Olzon, vocalist of Finnish symphonic metallers Nightwish, has posted two demo songs online. You can check out the solo material, called "Floating" and "Invincible", on her Myspace profile.
Here's what she had to say abou it: "Ok, so the surprise I teased you with is that I have created my own Myspace page for some songs from my demo I did in 2009. The songs are not mixed or produced, just recorded in the moment and therefore are very rough songs. But I still want you to hear them since I am proud of them and I think they show another part of me than you hear in Nightwish.
The first song is called "Floating" and I call it the "Cirkus"song. It gives me a happy feeling and the vibe in it is happy and joyful. The second song is a song I wrote for my son and it´s very special to me therefore...
Tonight or tomorrow I will add another surprise song in there, will let you know when!"

Graveworm - To Enter The Studio
Graveworm will enter the Dreamsound Studio in Munich at the beginning of July to record the successor of 2009's Diabolical Figures.
The album will be entitled Fragments Of Death and will be released on the 14th of October via Nuclear Blast.
The title is explained by frontman Stefan Fiori as follows: "Fragments Of Death stands for the ten musical pieces of a puzzle on the CD. The lyrics deal with different modes of death. There will be one song about the current incidents in Japan, for example."
Eleven tracks will be taped up, which are described as a "combination of Graveworm's typical elements" by Stefan Fiori. "The music got straighter and displays a perfect blend of our past four albums for me."
