Alestorm Enter The Studio For New Album
Alestorm have officially entered the studio to begin the recording process for their new album. The effort will be titled “Infinite Seas Of Stellar Damnation.”
The band commented:
“Oh wow! Today we entered the studio to start recording our 9th album, which will be called ‘Infinite Seas Of Stellar Damnation!’
We’re recording it at Nahrávací Studio Divadla Na Orlí in Czechia (try saying that while you’re drunk) with our long-time producer Lasse Lammert once again at the helm. It’s got songs called ‘Alcohol And Gnomes’ and ‘The Cult Of Leviathan’ and ‘The Pope’s Gonna Be A Pirate’ and a Jimmy Buffet cover, and a bunch of other long and complicated songs that you inevitably won’t care about.
Like most things in life, it comes out sometime next year, assuming we finish it. I’m sure that won’t be a problem; we’re all great at our instruments and the songs are easy to play. Anyway, that’s all really.
Oh yeah and the last song is another one of those 12+ minute things. And there’s a bunch of bonus tracks too. And there’s some bits in Japanese. Oh and there’s a song called ‘Fuck’ because if we didn’t fill a song with swearing y’all would riot.
More news soon! Bye!”

Wind Rose Part Ways With Drummer Federico Gatti
Wind Rose have parted ways with drummer Federico Gatti. A replacement is still pending.
The band commented:
“After almost 8 years of working together, drummer Federico Gatti is parting ways with Wind Rose.
This goodbye comes simply from having different visions on the next steps, and it comes with nothing but gratitude and respect.
Please join us in wishing Federico Gatti all the best.
Wind Rose,
Francesco, Claudio & Federico”Gatti added:
“For almost 9 years I sat behind the drums of Wind Rose, but now the time has come to announce that I will no longer be part of the band.
This has been an incredible chapter of my life, filled with unforgettable experiences, amazing people, countless miles travelled, and stages I could only have dreamed of when this journey began. I will always be grateful for everything we have achieved together and for all the memories I get to carry with me.
This decision was made amicably, with mutual respect and friendship between all of us. Sometimes, even when a chapter has been an amazing one, it’s simply time to turn the page.
But this is not the end of my story. If anything, it feels like the beginning of a whole new one.
Over these years, I’ve also built a lot of things of my own, developed new ideas, and grown both as a musician and as an individual. Now I feel it’s time to give those things more space to grow, explore new possibilities, and see where they can take me.
One door may be closing, but countless others are opening. I’m not disappearing from the music scene. Quite the opposite: I’m ready to get back out there, embrace new challenges and collaborations, and take everything I’ve learned into whatever comes next.
To everyone who has been part of this journey, especially all the fans who supported us along the way: thank you. None of this would have been the same without you. Your energy, your passion, and the memories we’ve shared will always mean a lot to me. I will carry them with me forever, along with my deepest gratitude.
And trust me, you haven’t seen the last of me.”

Hatebreed Vocalist Jamey Jasta Confirms Plans To Release Re-Recorded “Under The Knife” EP
Awhile back, comedian Ian Fidance revealed that Hatebreed were working on a re-recorded version of their 1996 EP “Under The Knife.” Now, the band’s vocalist Jamey Jasta has confirmed that plans are being made to release the updated effort.
Jasta told Kerrang! the following:
“Back then, I was just hoping I’d live to be 40. I just turned 49!
I don’t know why I had that limiting belief. I think because there weren’t a lot of punk and hardcore dudes at that point that were super old and had lived long, non-turbulent lives.
We’ve actually rerecorded ‘Under The Knife.’ We’ll probably figure out a release where maybe we include a documentary. I just went through storage rooms full of stuff and found a flyer for a show that was Fear, Murphy’s Law, Hatebreed, 25 Ta Life and One 4 One. Man, I would remember if we had opened for Fear! Wayne [Lozinak, Hatebreed guitarist] had to remind me, ‘No, Fear cancelled but we still played, it was at The Pipeline in New Jersey!’
There’s a lot of those stories and flyers where the memories are a blur and the players are gone. It would be nice to preserve some of it.”
