I don't know the extent of the Frankenbok tour, i.e. whether there's some extra non-Sinate shows, but in all likelihood this is it (the 'bok copy-pasted the above details in their fb page)

Long Live Heavy Metal; out end March

Canadian battle/heavy metallers, 3 Inches of Blood, who were last in NZ, December 2010 at "No Sleep til" Auckland, have released the release date for their upcoming 5th studio album "Long Live Heavy Metal" on Century Media records.

I like how they've taken the time to specifically state New Zealand on the poster below; given the size of the large markets in the states & Europe, that our total population is equivalent to that of a normal sized city elsewhere, that we would even be listed is surely an honour..

Cannibal Corpse ain't as banned as you think

I keep reading on the good ol' internet that various material from iconic death metallers Cannibal Corpse is banned in NZ.
I've heard it on a doco looking into the history of metal, it's on big metal websites (search for cannibal corpse in www.metalunderground.com and it's the first line of their Background.). After years of believing it true, and living with the image that New Zealand is a prudish and backwards country that refuses it's young folk exposure to the refined art forms that spew forth from the wondrous Cannibal Corpse; I actually went to go check it out.
After much googleing, re-googling, and several government department websites later I found www.censorship.govt.nz (seems kinda obvious now, but you google banned songs in NZ and see how far you get)

Below is a screen shot of results of a search for 'cannibal corpse'.
Of the bands illustrious career of 11 studio albums, a live album, 2 EP's, 4 DVD/VHS releases, 8 music videos, and one box set...
Of all that: the advert for "The Bleeding" is listed as both 'Objectionable' (i.e. Banned) and 'Unrestricted', the advert for Tomb of the Mutilated/hammer smashed face, the lyric sheet for 'Tomb..." are banned.
The top two 'Cannibal Corpse' links are for "Hammer Smashed Face" and "The Bleeding" respectively, which are both banned.
Problem: Given that "Hammer Smashed Face" is only a song (i.e. not album) and "The Bleeding" is the name of both an album and a song, and with nothing distinguishing the two rulings in terms of format, it could be seen as unclear whether or not the whole album "The Bleeding", as opposed to just the song of the same name, is also banned. But this is a government thing, so I'd almost bet the album is banned, if it were to ever become an issue.

In summary, the only music from the band Cannibal Corpse to be official banned in the country of New Zealand is the song "Hammer Smashed Face" and the song and/or album "The Bleeding".

Funny, 'cos "Hammer Smashed Face" is probably the more requested 'Corpse song, to date, on the show.. although the official terminology is: Objectionable material is banned - it is illegal to possess, own, sell, hire, give or buy an objectionable publication. So, hypothetically, if I had any banned songs, it looks like I would get in trouble for possessing them, but not broadcasting them over the radio waves & internet streaming and podcasting...

Caliban's "Dein R3Ich" for free download

New Meshuggah on the horizon

Alerted by a brief facebook update (Thanks Kai, who plays in Auckland band Old Kingdom ), the band that inspired its own apparent genre are finally back with news of their new album.

The bands official website, http://www.meshuggah.net/, posted a promo/teaser poster (see below) as well as the comment: "After a long time of deep soul searching and intense wrecking of the psyches, the new album is finally done. Soon you will meet this colossus that will pulverize your being. Welcome to the other side on March 27."
