| The
Cursed |
PR reports: One of the most instantly recognizable
voices in all of heavy metal, Overkill's Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth has for
the first time in his career momentarily stepped out of his full-time band.
With the launch of The Cursed, Ellsworth is joined by guitarist Dan Lorenzo
(ex-Hades and Non-Fiction), bassist Job the Raver (Murder 1), and drummer
Mike Cristi (ex-Non-Fiction). Ellsworth and Lorenzo began collaborating
together in late 2005, and came up with a style that while still heavy,
is a departure from the intense metal of Overkill. Screaming Ferret Wreckords
plans an early 2007 release.- Click

Semi Reunion |
Gigwise reports: Carl Barat and Pete Doherty
have united on an upcoming track.
The former Libertines lynchpins both appear
on a cover version of The Clash classic 'Janie Jones'. However, the pair
never set foot in a studio together - instead they recorded their parts
separately after they were individually asked to contribute.
The song was devised by Strummerville,
a music charity set up to honour the late-great Clash frontman Joe Strummer.[see

Blown Chaos Hit The Road |
punkbands reports: NY hardcore band Full Blown
Chaos will hit the road starting tomorrow despite a series of potentially
fatal situations that would have stopped a number of other, less-ballsy
groups. First off, vocalist Ray Mazzola was bit by a black widow spider
while on tour with Exodus last May. Then in July, during their stint on
Ozzfest, FBC had another near-death experience when they were involved
in a car wreck. [see full story for dates]- Click

| Paolo
Nutini EP |
PR reports: Born and raised in Paisley, Scotland,
Paolo Nutini, is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter who has been blessed with
a soulful, passionate voice and the natural gift of being able to tell
a story in a song. Nutini has absorbed the soul of the great American R&B
singers and channeled it into something original, captivating, and dynamic.
His debut Atlantic release, THE LIVE SESSIONS,
(in stores September 12th) is an intimate introduction to this powerful
new artist via performances captured at a series of small venues in London.
Songs such as the poignant "Rewind" or the anthemic "These Streets" reveal
Paolo to be an artist who knows an awful lot about the vicissitudes of
life and love, with a unique gift for expressing the attitudes and experiences
of someone his age. THE LIVE SESSIONS EP precedes Nutini's full-length
debut, THESE STREETS, (produced by Ken Nelson - Coldplay, Ray LaMontagne,
Badly Drawn Boy) which will arrive on these shores early next year. [check

Fate, King Diamond, WOLF's "Black Wings"). WOLF: "You can all expect a
cover that matches the eerie sound of the new album 100%. No swords and
dragons and s***. Just pure metal terror." Check out the new song and you

Victory |
PR reports: Victory Records announces the
signing of Connecticut/Queens, NY's EMMURE, whose goal according to guitarist

moving band out there."

NY, and Fairfield, CT, hooked up through the Internet three years ago.

early winter. When asked why the band chose Victory, Jesse says, "Obviously,
we know that Victory is the best independent rock label out there. It only
made sense to go to the best team. We trust Victory and feel together we
can really make the most of it."- Click

| Lilith
& Danzig |
PR reports: Though he made his reputation
with his uncompromising metallic rock and hardcore punk, Glenn Danzig turned
heads by debuting at #1 on Billboard's classical chart with 1993's "Black
Aria," a darkly beguiling interpretation of the "Paradise Lost" story that
blended orchestral, Celtic and other forms to tell the epic tale of Satan's
rebellion. On October 17, Danzig will release the eagerly awaited "Black
Aria II" (evillive/Megaforce), which takes on another rebel of ancient
lore - Lilith, Adam's wife before Eve.
Produced, written and - with a couple of
exceptions - performed by Glenn, "Black Aria II" employs thundering organ,
otherworldly chants, operatic lamentations, poignant strings, ominous percussion,
ritualistic chimes and other mysterious sounds to weave its spell.[see
