Spinal Tap Confirms Reunion
The Gauntlet reports:
Spoof heavy metal band Spinal Tap have confirmed they are to record their first album in nearly 20 years.
The faux British rockers found fame in 1984 comedy documentary This Is Spinal Tap and went on to release two records and hit the road for tours. Their last album, Break Like The Wind, hit shops in 1992 and the group subsequently reunited for a one-off performance in 2007, playing at London's Wembley Stadium as part of the Live Earth event. And now the American comedy trio - Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer - are set to resurrect their characters once again.
Shearer, who went on to voice several characters in The Simpsons, says, "It'll be for download as well as on conventional media later this year. We've never recorded the song we did at Live Earth, Warmer Than Hell, and I think they (Spinal Tap) are trying to revisit their old success. Not that they were ever popular, maybe in their own universe."
"We'll do a song called Gimme Some More Money, probably with some dubious results."
After Forever Call It A Day
Symphonic Metal band After Forever posted the following on their official MySpace:
"Dearest Fans,
After nearly 15 years and with heavy hearts, we have decided to call an end to a great and exciting time as After Forever. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished, and especially of the road we took to get here. After Forever has never been a band that repeated itself; we always tried out new things, even though many of them were certainly done at a risk. We think that that has been one of the reasons we've always enjoyed enormous support from all our loyal fans.
The break we took in 2008 made us appreciate all the more what we'd experienced. Now more than ever, we can look back on so many fantastic moments, something we never would have expected to be part of when we started the band all those years ago.
However, that break also made us aware of the fact that we can only continue After Forever with the energy, the full 110%, that we have always put into it and we've noticed lately that there is something missing. We have always been musicians who create music with lots of passion, and during the break we built up our own lives again and have been musically active and experimenting in several genres.
Although After Forever is very special to us, we feel that we have reached the point where we need to explore the world of music in each of our own different ways. Thus, we've decided to quit while we're ahead. We are sincerely proud of every CD; each album represents a unique period, and all comes together in our last album "After Forever," which made all of our dreams possible. We hope After Forever will continue to be a source of inspiration for new bands and musicians alike so that our music can live on.
As band members, but also as friends, we've experienced so very much; highs and lows, good times and bad. We'll keep supporting each other in all of our various individual projects and continue inspiring one another in making music.
Our MySpace page will be used for updates on all of these projects and of course After Forever-related news, as well.
You can be sure that this is not an easy decision for any of us. We'd like to thank all of our fans for their support, also during the break.
We know that this will be a big disappointment to you, dear fans, and it makes it that much harder for us. You have always given us your all and it was our pledge, in turn, always to give at least as much back to you for as long as we exist. In this moment, that's unfortunately just not possible, so we'd rather leave you all the albums and gigs we achieved with maximum input. We'd also like to thank Nuclear Blast, TEG and MOJO for their patience and enthusiasm, the live crew, the fan club, the fan sites and everybody who's helped in every way possible.
We'll miss you all.
Most Sincerely,
Floor, Sander, Joost, Bas, Andre and Luuk
After Forever"
Another band that decided to call it a day:
Germany's Fall Of Serenity,
Here's there official statement posted on their myspace:
After 10 years
we have to close the chapter FALL OF SERENITY.....
In the last
weeks we thought, after almost splitting up in 2008, we could go on doing the
next record - at least after a break from playing live.....
But something
unexpected happened just this week. Our singer John left the band.....
These
circumstances, and the global warming, make it impossible to go on. So we felt
that we, including John, should finally end it.....
We wish John
good luck and thank him for everything. Also a big thanks to all our supporters
and foremost to our great fans. THANK YOU!!!....
Three of us will continue with a new project, so
there is a chance to see our ugly faces somewhere in the future again…. Bye,
bye!!!

No Ozzfest This Year !
Blabbermouth Reports:
Ozzy Osbourne is currently in the studio in Los Angeles co-producing his tenth studio album with Kevin Churko. The new CD is the rock and roll legend's follow-up to 2007's "Black Rain" which debuted in the Top Ten on the album charts in 11 countries and spawned Ozzy's first-ever #1 Active Rock track "I Don't Wanna Stop" (which also sat atop the Heritage Rock chart for more than 20 weeks). The two-time Grammy Award winner has decided that he will not be touring until he has a new album in stores (currently projected to be Thanksgiving 2009). Thus, Ozzy has decided to put his namesake festival Ozzfest on hold this year.
Hmmm...
