>From: Phil.Powell@launchpad.unc.edu (Phil Powell) Subject: Soae 6/10/93 Date: 11 Jun 1993 04:57:39 GMT Soae 6/10/93 "The blood of the innocent on the hands of the guilty" I'm BAAAAACK!!!! After 2 weeks of incredible fun in Pennsylvania and other places, I am finally allowed back into the labs to have my fun at these machines (evil laughter) and punt out another Soae for you ravenous music lovers out there to enjoy (or skip, depending on how you feel about the subject matter!).. For you summer lingerers, Soae will be available every Thursday night/Friday morning new and fresh with information on the latest in Christian metal and thrash with some stuff toward hard rock, industrial and grunge (though not much cuz metal and thrash is cooler! hahaha don't take it seriously, OK???).. Soae is absolutely available via anonymous FTP at red.css.itd.umich.edu under directory pub/Zines/Screams.of.Abel and can be picked up there. That was deep. Issues range from September 1992 to present... also can be found in the "Destruction of Death" conference on WWIVNet (also ICENET), on FamilyNet and soon to be punted over to CompuServe... And finally (enough of these PSA's geez)... if you wish to give a friend a hard copy of Soae (or somehow want one yourself), send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) to: Phil Powell, 9401 Caltor Lane, Ft. Washington, MD 20744.. ** End of That Drivel ** ** The News ** Have I got a big one for you? I hope you guys are willing to take about anything because this one will knock you off your feet as it did mine. In an interview with This Prophecy Magazine (forthcoming this month) BELIEVER confessed that they will be toning down their music to not-so-fast styles! Does the horrid word "Commercial" come to mind? Kurt Bachman (who now, by the way, could play David Koresh in a movie of the week) also talked about the departure of guitarist David Baddorf and bassist Wyatt Robertson.. Wyatt, in fact, got accepted in a large scientific lab of some kind making big bucks.. and drummer Joey Daub grew back the other side of his head of hair and cropped it.. and the new album features a cellist.. I don't think I can take anymore.. oh yeah.. they are just about finished with "Dimensions" although R/C is now talking about not releasing it until the end of the year to be released possibly simultaneously with Sepultura.. aren't you glad I came back from vacation to tell you this? Well I got more "good" news for you: at my church retreat (it was awesome! Tell ya more later) I ran into one of the roadies for SACRAMENT who informed me that the band has decided to forgo metal and thrash altogether and go into more of a jazz sound... This kind of stuff makes you wanna quit Soae... But seriously folks.. KILLED BY CAIN is an excellent new band on R.E.X. Records that used to be known as WHITE RAY... they are from Louisville KY, the hometown of their forthcoming album's producer, BRIDE's Dale Thompson.. expect to hear what I called "psychadelic progressive doom" consisting of elements of Trouble, Danzig and White Ray.. Matt Knowles of Florida brutal band ROYAL ANGUISH has just become a dad! Congrats! A baby boy for the little hairball! HOT PINK TURTLE, eccentric band from Kansas City, will go into the studio after Cornerstone '93 to record their album, "Ticklewigglejigglepickle" (I didn't make that up, trust me) which is due out this fall.. expect an extremely weird sound like combining Mr. Bungle and Led Zeppelin... LIVING SACRIFICE will go on a 20-plus city tour this summer and fall.. the beginning of the tour with feature them with MORTIFICATION, and they will both be at Joe's Garage in Ft. Worth TX on June 26 with LUST CONTROL and DISENCUMBRANCE.. TOURNIQUET announced that they have a new lead singer! No more information provided to me yet but I have contacted them to find out more (no, it's not BLOODGOOD's Les Carlson! You can all breathe again).. they will be in Bartlesville OK on June 19.. And speaking of more concerts.. THE RISEN will be in concert, for the first time, in Annapolis MD on June 26.. at the same time in Gaithersburg MD, MARS HILL will be playing, who, by the way, have gone more hardcore according to bassist Dan Kasperow.. BRIDE will be in Wichita KS this summer (aren't you glad you know that?).. REZ and GUARDIAN will both be at Greenbelt '93 in England Aug. 27-30 at Deene Park near Corby, Northants.. Expect a June/July release of PALE HORSE's demo "Mournful" on ART Records.. and a live interview with them on "Fall Metal Worship" on 94.5 FM WCXS in Washington DC this weekend (June 12).. Dutch doom band SCULPTURE will not be on the split 7" with Australian band DERACINATION on ART Records... instead will be Texas death band OBLATION.. Deracination remixed their song "Death By Fire" (from their "Times of Atrocity" CD) to a more doom/death sound a la Cathedral.. Sculpture will be on a later release on ART... PRECIOUS DEATH and DRY BONES will have 7" releases in July on ART Records.. ROYAL ANGUISH/THE RISEN split 7" will be released tentatively at the same time as the OBLATION/DERACINATION split 7".. THE CLERGY, from Portland OR, will not be on "Up From The Underground Vol. I" due to their being signed onto Broken Records.. Florida band MANSOUL will replace them with their song "Justified By Blood".. "Up From The Underground" is due out in July.. I am in total awe over the new GALACTIC COWBOYS' album "Space In Your Face"!! Get the album if you know what's good for you! See Soae 5/20/93 for a tour schedule with Dream Theater up until July.. GOLGOTHA, death metal from Virginia Beach VA, has a new bass player named Tracy who is now the oldest member of the band at 20.. they recently played their high school (First Colonial High School) talent show and hope to play in their area - was not able to play with SABAOTH last weekend at the Fire Escape (BTW did you know that members of Carcass went to the Fire Escape to hear SACRAMENT play because they were so loud they could hear them at the club Carcass themselves were at!!).. New death metal from Texas - AMPUTATION.. other new pop metal bands include ETERNITY from Washington State and LOOKOUT from Kansas.. VITAL IRON is a new power metal band from Florida featuring Giant's David Huff on drums.. TWO-EDGED SWORD, pop metal from Baltimore MD, have a new drummer by the name of Mike Fast.. they will also be changing styles to a more aggressive metal with faster drums.. EVIDENCE! I hung out with them at my church retreat in Indiana PA and they were soooo cool! They have their own studio there and a large following in that remote town in the middle of the mountains! (oh yeah watching that crippled girl get up and walk was too wild for words!!) Well anyway, Evidence is a new pop metal band from Indiana PA whose former bassist is moving to TN.. Aussie band DISCARNATED won the Battle of the Bands (see Soae 5/20/93 for more info) which include more studio time for "Deus Miserateur" CD to be possibly remixed... and don't forget - Screams of Abel #1 is out! $2.75 to: Screams of Abel, P.O. Box 2861, Springfield VA 22152-2861 USA... total Christian death/grind/thrash! Checks and MO's payable to Phil Powell or Raf Munoz.. That's it! See ya next week!
