ATTACKER's BOB MITCHELL GOING BACK TO PRO WRESTLING
After a nine-year absence, ATTACKER vocalist Bob Mitchell will return to the wrestling ring at the end of April and will be the ring announcer for a great night of sports entertainment. This event will be a fundraiser to benefit the First Cerebral Palsy School of New Jersey and is presented by New Millenium Wrestling. Featured on the card are WWE Hall of Famer Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, former WCW superstar Devon "Crowbar" Storm, former Playboy supermodel April Hunter and more. Tickets are priced at $20 ringside and $15 general.
RAVEN has been confirmed for The Monsters Ball, set to take place Friday, October 12 at The Rock Room of the Sterling hotel in Allentown, Pennsylvania and Saturday, October 13 at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey. Also scheduled to appear are HALLOWS EVE, SEVENTH CALLING and fellow British metallers OVERDRIVE (performing their first U.S. shows ever). More bands will be announced soon.
RAVEN was scheduled to return to the studio late November/early December to resume recording material for its new album, tentatively due later this year. The band last spring recorded four new tracks — "Against The Grain", "Running Around In Circles", "Breaking You Down" and "Necessary Evil" — at Assembly Line Studios with Kevin 131 (PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, DECEASED, DYSRYTHMIA, GARDEN OF SHADOWS) engineering and mixing.
A number of audio clips from OZZY OSBOURNE's forthcoming album have been posted online at Ozzy.com (Note: You have to scroll over and click on the books and other images on the main page to hear the audio).
The first single, "I Don't Want to Stop", from the upcoming CD will receive its online premiere on Friday, April 13. (To hear a clip of the single, click here.)
Among the eleven new tracks Osbourne has recorded is "Not Going Away", which Rolling Stone describes as "a fiery rocker with ominous riffs from guitarist Zakk Wylde," and "Lay Your World On Me", which was inspired by Ozzy's wife and manager's recent battle with cancer. Other songtitles set to appear on the CD include "The Almighty Dollar" and "Not Going Away".
