Forbidden have officially signed with Nuclear Blast Records.
The group has issued the following statement:
“We are very proud to announce that Forbidden has signed to Nuclear Blast Records! Ultimately, we all knew that there is NO better label in the world to handle Metal and bring it to the masses with authority. For the last year, we have been intensely working on our craft while re-examining our past with a perspective we’d never had before. Our vision is clear and we know exactly who and what we are today. Forbidden is in an amazing creative space and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it! We began recording on March 1st. We must thank Jaap Wagemaker and everyone else at Nuclear Blast for making their enthusiasm known to us since we’ve committed to writing this record. Also, there are so many other amazing friends that helped us along the way and we appreciate everything you’ve done for us to get Forbidden back into a position of strength. If you feel in your bones that you are one of them, then you definitely are! Thank you all so much.”

Watain finish up new record
The fourth album from Swedish black metal titans Watain is now recorded.
Says vocalist E in an official missive: “I am now holding in my hand the final mastertape of what might be the most dynamic and charged Watain release ever recorded. May the gods unto which it is written be pleased! We very much look forward to share this rich feast with our followers, whom we know have been hungering for a very long time. All I can say is that it will be worth the wait. We raise our cups unto all of you whose patience and support have been constant during the four fiery years since the release of Sworn To The Dark, and look forward to set the night aflame with you again soon!”
The unveiling of Watain’s fourth monument will take place on June 7th, under ceremonial circumstances yet to be revealed. To tide followers over in the meantime, Watain will release a single entitled Reaping Death. It will be released as a 7″ picture EP on Walpurgisnacht.

Longway announce West Coast dates.
Longway has announced tour with, Broadway Calls, Cobra Skulls and The Flatliners

Over the last two years, LONGWAY has gone from a regional hero, to an impressive addition to marquees across the nation. Among the highlights of the band’s resume includes supporting runs with the likes of Bad Religion, The Briggs, Agent Orange, Horrorpops, Aggrolites, and consecutive treks on the Vans Warped Tour. This Spring, LONGWAY will join three of punk rock’s most promising prospects in The Flatliners, SideOne Dummy Records’ recording artists Broadway Calls, and Cobra Skulls for a brief, albeit powerful, run of tour dates throughout the West Coast. OLD SHOE RECORDS, along with media partner THRASHER MAGAZINE, along with LUCKY 13 Apparel, have teamed up to present the string of West Coast dates.
