SOULFLY bassist Bobby Burns has uploaded the third in a series of webisodes featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the band's current North American tour with PRONG, INCITE and ROTTING CORPSE. Watch the clip below.
SOULFLY will film a video for a yet-to-be-named track from the band's upcoming seventh album, "Omen", during the March 17, 2010 live performance at the Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, New York.
"Omen" is scheduled for release on May 4 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was recorded at Edge Of The Earth studios in Hollywood, California with co-producer Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, DIVINE HERESY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, GOJIRA, DEVILDRIVER) and it features guest appearances by THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN frontman Greg Puciato and PRONG mainman Tommy Victor.
Of the collaborations, guitarist/vocalist Max Cavalera says, "The first one is a song with Tommy Victor from PRONG sharing vocals on a song called 'Lethal Injection'. The other is 'Rise of the Fallen', with shared vocals from Greg Puciato, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's singer. I also recorded two B-sides with both of my sons playing drums. Igor Cavalera plays on EXCEL's 'Your Life, My Life', and Zyon Cavalera plays on SEPULTURA's 'Refuse/Resist' cover."
METALLICA In Guatemala City: Warning Shots, Pepper Gas And Power Outage

According to elPeriódico, Guatemalan police fired warning shots in the air and used pepper gas to disperse hundreds of METALLICA fans who tried to rush into the sold-out Estadio Mateo Flores (reported attendance: 27,000) in Guatemala City last night (Friday, March 5) in order to see the veteran metal act perform. The situation was eventually brought under control and the concert was reportedly a huge success despite a technical glitch that caused the power to go out during the second song of METALLICA's set, "For Whom The Bell Tolls". After a few minutes, the power came back on and METALLICA's performance resumed.
A five-minute report from Hechos.tv on the events surrounding last night's show can be viewed below.
METALLICA's setlist was as follows:
01. Creeping Death 02. For Whom The Bell Tolls 03. (short generator fix break) 04. For Whom The Bell Tolls 05. Fuel 06. Harvester Of Sorrow 07. Fade To Black 08. That Was Just Your Life
Former VAN HALEN Bassist Launches Official YouTube Channel

Former VAN HALEN and current CHICKENFOOT bassist Michael Anthony has launched his official YouTube channel, Mad Anthony TV.
Michael Anthony recently said that Eddie and Alex Van Halen hold a grudge against him for maintaining a friendship with Sammy Hagar. Anthony recalled to Mojo, that the problems started between him and the band when in the late '90s, VAN HALEN once again tried unsuccessfully to bring David Lee Roth back into the fold. With VAN HALEN seemingly on hiatus, Hagar had called Anthony to see if he was interested in hooking up with him and Neal Schon in their side project PLANET US.
Anthony explains, "Some VAN HALEN fans say I left the band to hook up with Sammy, but I never said, 'I quit.' There was nothing going on in the VAN HALEN camp, but Eddie kinda backed me up against a wall. . . Eddie felt that I was a traitor. I helped hook Sammy back up with them for the 2004 reunion tour, but Eddie didn't want me to be a part of that originally, so I took a big pay cut. I'm not crying, I didn't need the money. I did that because I wanted to play for the fans. I signed away any legal rights I had with the name, the trademark or whatever. I did it because if that was the last time VAN HALEN would ever be on stage, I wanted to be part of it."
He went on to say, "The major reason why I'm not in VAN HALEN (now) is because I became friends with Sammy again. The Van Halen brothers never got over that. If they hold a grudge, they hold it forever."
Sheila Doki of Metalholic.com recently conducted an interview with guitarist C.J. Pierce of Texas heavy rockers DROWNING POOL. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Metalholic.com: About the upcoming self-titled album — I listened to the new single "Feel Like I Do" earlier today. How have the fans been receiving that?
Pierce: The fans have been awesome, I gotta be honest. I think it's the first time we've ever had momentum… coming off of "37 Stitches", which did really well. And getting a new song out. Everybody seems to take a liking to it, you know? I'm happy with that song, I'm happy with the whole record.
Metalholic.com: How do you think this record differs from the previous three?
Pierce: We have the same singer, instead of going through the whole switching singers thing here. It's an advantage with Ryan [McCombs]. He's been with us for five years now. Usually when we make a new record, we have to find a new singer, find new management/labels. Ryan really goes above and beyond, he really pushes us to try and be better. He really opened up on this record. We're really comfortable with each other.
