1/13/06 Oregon doomsters YOB have disbanded, which
sucks bigtime. Here's the offical statement:
This is Mike from YOB. I regret to say that YOB
is disbanding after almost 10 years of existence.
The time we spent with YOB exceeded our wildest
expectations and hopes and it has truly been a dream
come true. Travis Foster and Isamu Sato left the band
in July, and I have been trying to decide what to do
for the last six months. YOB has had 3 other line-ups,
but this one was the best. At the end of the day the
best thing for YOB is to call it a day. I want to
thank everyone who has been supportive to YOB over
the years....labels, bands, fans, the venues, our
families....without you none of this would have been
possible. I will be working on a new band called
AGE that will very much be in the vein of YOB, with
some new twists. Until then, be well and stay HEAVY!
ENDLESS DOOM!!! Mike/YOB

better, but in the meantime, thanks for all the people
that were at the Rock Al Parque festival in Colombia

Auditorium last month to make it a special event.
Everyone was looking forward to going back to Brasil
and then finishing the new ST CD, and getting back out

and see how everything goes with the rehab."

passed away on Sunday, October 16th at age 34, due to
longstanding stomach problems. Thom Hazaert of
Corporate Punishment Records, (which released Reilly's
solo EP, "Inside", in 2004) has issued the following
statement regarding Reilly's death:
"I just received the devastating news that my brother
and friend, and the first artist signed to Corporate
Punishment, David Reilly (who was also the singer
and one half of one of the greatest and most
underrated bands to ever exist, GOD LIVES UNDERWATER),
passed away Sunday morning due to complications
from longstanding stomach problems. David had his
demons just like everyone, and he lived his life the
best he could. Yeah, he fucked up, and when he fucked
up it was usually big. But I am honored and humbled
to have had the chance to work with someone like him,
an amazing artist and visionary, who in my eyes will
always be one of the most talented people to ever
walk the Earth."
"We had the amazing pleasure of releasing David's
first and only official solo recording, 'Inside',
last year, and he had recently signed a deal with
Sony to release a new solo record. Unfortunately
this will never happen, which might be one of the

remain forever in our hearts, David will be sorely
missed by everyone at Corporate Punishment Records."

8/27/05 Last night, friday 26th at 23:45, Voivod
guitarist Denis D'Amour (Piggy) passed away from
cancer. This statement is from the band's offical
message forums:
"Life does not always turn out the way you expect.
Mine and the lives of many of my friends from
Jonquiere were certainly influenced by one specific
person, Denis D'Amour. He was a mentor and a hero
for many of us. He was my best friend.
I have dreaded the arrival of this day for a while
now. My old bandmate is gone. He passed away last
night at peace with himself and without pain. Until
the very end he was both a sweetheart and a real
rocker, without compromise.
I am so grateful that I had the chance to let him
know how much he meant to me and how much I loved
him. Denis did not live to see his last artistic
effort released but the rest of us will appreciate
it all the more.
Long live Denis D'Amour. Long live Piggy."

fighting for theirs. Eyewitness accounts and other
info can be found on our Message Board.
The band have posted several statements about the incident on their
offical website, including:
some strong and wise words from Pepper and Mike:
"People are fighting for their lives right now due
to last night's events. We need everyone to focus
their positive energies towards these individuals
to help them, and everybody affected, pull through
this tragedy.
This is not what it's supposed to be about."
Respectfully,
Pepper
"This tragedy is possible anywhere people gather
and especially where alcohol is involved. It also
is a possibility wherever nihilism sets in, as I'm
afraid it has in the world of heavy metal, where
we find ourselves categorized, for better, or more
likely for worse. I'm not trying to espouse any
lofty ideals or spirituality but could we at least
aim as high as everyone coming together however
briefly, to have a good time without hurting anyone?"

some perverse way. Our best wishes and respect go out to

12/9/04 Former Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell was
ruthlessly gunned down onstage last night in Columbus,
OH while playing with Damage Plan at Al Rosa Villa.
Our DSL went down last night, so we've been unable
to update until now, and we figure you know all the
horrible details already, (if you don't just check CNN
or any other "news" source). Obviously this news has
shocked the metal world and nothing will be the same
without Dimebag. As we reflect on what happened
and ask "why?" it must be stressed that this was
an isolated incident, the guy was a nut. Some will
blame club security, some could blame gun laws, but
the bottom line is, the guy was a crazy asshole, and
Darrell's death may have been unpreventable. We'll
miss you Dime.

11/16/04 Corrosion Of Conformity's upcoming album,
tentatively titled "En los Brazos del Dios" (In the
Arms of God), is said to be shaping into quite the
slab of heaviness. "We started writing songs, and
they somewhat had the vibe of 'Blind', 'Deliverance'
and our earlier material", says vocalist/guitarist
Pepper Keenan. "We started thinking from that
perspective, and it evolved into a heavy, classic
sound but with a modern wisdom to it. We really got
back to our roots with this one, listening to old
records that we all grew up on and headbanging at
Woody�s farmhouse. It was a good time putting it
together." Tentative song titles include "En los
Brazos del Dios", "Never Turns to More", "Stone
Breaker", and "World on Fire". Expect a release
in early 2005 thru Sanctuary.
The new Fear Factory video, "Bite The Hand That
Bleeds" is available online:
