The Godfathers of Swedish modern metal, Soilwork, are currently working on a music video for the song "Deliverance Is Mine" to be directed by Ivan Colic (Ex Deo, Type O Negative, Unleashed) and produced by Stanimir Lucik. The track comes off their latest upcoming release The Panic Broadcast. A few still photos from the story board stage of the project are attached. The band recently talked a little bit about the concept behind the new clip: "Our new video 'Deliverance Is Mine' will be the follow-up to 2003's CGI animated masterpiece 'Light The Torch'. We've always loved that clip and it's really exciting to be able to give it a sequel! The song is about people living through others like parasites, a perfect setting for the evil scientist and his humanoid servant to continue their cruel experiments. So far the first drafts look jaw-dropping and we have no doubt that the team over at Rock The Nation will do an amazing job on 'Deliverance Is Mine'!"

Legendary German thrashers, Destruction, have just announced their return to the Nuclear Blast Records fold. Comments mainman Schmier: "Sometimes I really hate the business side of my job, we have been thru some very difficult decisions in the last couple of months. Now after some weeks of hard work, I can proudly announce that Destruction is back with Nuclear Blast Records! We really wanna thank AFM Records for the great co-operation in the last years! Cheers for supporting all our craziness, I know it wasn't always easy folks! Going back to NB feels like coming back home now, working with old friends is one of the biggest achievements you can have in this music business known as a 'shark tank'! Almost eleven years ago, Markus Staiger and his label made it possible for Destruction to come back in a strong way, those were some of the best years the band ever had! Hopefully this will be the last label change of the band's career, we have returned to our home port again and it feels...

We will be working very hard writing and preparing for our third full-length that is untitled as of now. So far the material we have is coming out exactly the way we wanted it to. As cliche as it sounds, this will most definitely be the best FTFD record to date. It will be 10x heavier, 10x prettier, catchy and fun. We hope all of you will be as stoked as we are! Now to clear up the shit load of rumors we've been hearing, this record will be coming out on Rise Records! No, we did not get dropped by Rise Records! Those rumors you are hearing are completely untrue.

Twelve months ago Lovers Grave was an idea of something fresh and heavy, something that reflected the way we all feel as people and parts of our own worlds. While the short road from then to present wasn't without its hurdles like lineup changes, the band has remained focused in writing an EP that is a solid addition to heavy Australian music, and essentially a part of themselves."I like to think there is some humility in "DEADCITY", it's a personal record, we didn't just one day, halfway through writing go, "ok, it's going to be personal now", we set out to write something honest to us that we, and hopefully whoever listens to the record, can feel and not just acknowledge" says Dillon, Lovers Grave frontman.

We couldn’t be happier to announce that Joyce Manor, based out of Long Beach, CA/Torrance, CA, have officially joined the 6131 family. While Joyce Manor is clearly different than anything else on 6131 there was no way we could not work with them. After having their demo on constant rotation I finally had the chance to see them live when they opened for Touche Amore, and needless to say, I was floored. With influences ranging from bands like Weezer to Guided By Voices to Screeching Weasel I can’t wait to see where this band goes.
