From Autumn To Ashes have revealed the details for their forthcoming live album. The record was originally going to be a limited release, but the band changed their minds saying:

At first we were only going to press a couple hundred copies for the people who were at the record store that night, but we are really proud of how good it came out and we would like to share it with everyone. Thats why this has been delayed for a while. It takes time to get it set up as a wide release. I don’t know what the exact release date will be yet, but it should be in the middle of June. You people that were at the record store will most likely get your copy sooner.

The band has also revealed the track listing.

The influential outfit will return to Rust Belt Studios in Michigan with producer / engineer Al Sutton to record Punkgasm. Working song titles include: “Slaughbaughs Ought Not Own Dog Data”, “Aw Man, That’s Jive Skip”, and “Bulkeye”. Founding member Che comments on the new material; ”

I know this sounds like an obligatory and potentially phony statement but, I at least, firmly believe this will be the “best Caballero yet”. All clichés be detonated.

On the heels of the release of their new live DVD, Unearth have unveiled plans for record their next full length for a fall release:

Without going into too much detail about the new tunes, it is harder hitting with more groove than any previous Unearth material. If you were in the crowd at one of our shows on this last tour, you got a glimpse of what to expect.

Working with Derek Kerswill as our drummer for this album has given us the chance to let the songs grow as they should, the parts build up how they should and have the tunes hit as hard as they should. We are beyond amped about the new stuff and we look forward to giving everyone some new tunes to thrash to real fucking soon.”

The band’s last full length, III: In the Eyes of Fire, was released in 2006.

Warcon has announced the signing of Barstow, California-based Duck Duck Goose. A recent Wonkavision review described the band as:

a hardcore/thrash/metal hybrid with a few ambient sounds thrown in for good measure. The Chariot churned with The Mars Volta may approximate something like it—but they are too lively for a straight metal bill and too metal for the hardcore fanatics.

You can check out some music from their upcoming Warcon debut on their myspace page.
