those who lie beneath

Knights of the Abyss, a thrashy death metal outfit from Glendale, Ariz., are currently working on their third album at White Lake, Mich.'s Dreadcore Studios with owner and producer Joshua Wickman (And Hell Followed With, Within the Ruins). "We are really excited to be having Josh work on this record," said bassist Griffin Kolinski...

San Diego quintet Burning the Masses will follow up 'Mind Control' with 'Offspring of Time,' due out July 20 via Mediaskare Records. The deathcore band has been compared to an amalgam of Between the Buried and Me, Cannibal Corpse and Necrophagist, so that pretty much sounds like something we'd like to damage our hearing with...

Lava-spewing volcanoes look pretty damn cool on album covers, but the past week has taught us that volcanoes and metal don't always mix so well. As anyone who doesn't live in a torch-lit cave knows by now, an Icelandic volcano erupted April 15, spreading clouds of ash across much of Europe and grounding hundreds of planes...

Boston metallers the Red Chord have lost drummer Brad Fickeisen. However, the departure won't impact the band's forthcoming touring plans, as original Red Chord kitman Michael Justian has returned to the fold.

So far, there are only a handful of confirmed tour dates, and the band will be sharing bills with several other bands, including MyChildren MyBride, Iwrestledabearonce, Chelsea Grin and Those Who Lie Beneath...

Jamie Hanks is in the back of a van somewhere in America's mid-section, and he's repeating what must his band's mantra. In summation, it's that Those Who Lie Beneath, the Portland, Ore.-based death metal band he fronts, want to be as brutal and evil as possible...

Oregonian death metal outfit Those Who Lie Beneath, who quote 'Anchorman' religiously while on the road, are sort of like Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta, in a way. If they have their way, they will be heard -- not only by those within the metal scene but those outside of it, too...
