ATKINS MAY PROJECT Sampler 2020
NIHILISTH - CARNAL LEFTOVERS
Addressing this outlook, in 2005 Threeman Recordings issued Nihilist (1987-1989) which compiled these and another recording session, and in 2018, this was re-issued by Independence Day Recordings as Carnal Leftovers. On May 1, 2020, Earache Records will re-issue Carnal Leftovers for its big-label debut.
The compilation consists of two demos, “Premature Autopsy” and “Only Shreds Remain,” paired with the Drowned and Radiation Sickness EPs and the Entombed demo “But Life Goes On.” With only one duplicated track (“Face of Evil”) this makes a handy view into the career of this band before they were recognized, when they were most focused on the intensity of communication.
You can pre-order the CD, LP, and tshirt in various packages through the Earache webstore, anticipating it shipping in May of this year.
Tracklist
- From “Premature Autopsy”
- Sentenced To Death
- Supposed To Rot
- Carnal Leftovers From “Only Shreds Remain”
- Abnormally Deceased
- Revel In Flesh

- Severe Burns
- When Life Has Ceased From Radiation Sickness

Testament Frontman Describes What It’s Like to Have the Coronavirus
In addition to Billy, Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and Death Angel drummer Will Carroll came down with COVID-19, with the latter hospitalized and still in rough shape. Other members of the touring party allegedly fell ill as well, including Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio.
Edmonton’s Omniarch are set to release their debut self-titled album on May 8, 2020.
Edmonton’s Omniarch
are set to release their debut self-titled album on May 8, 2020.
Melodic, technical and relentless, the Canadian act is refining the
chaos of death metal and adding intricate technicalities.
The first single off the debut is ‘Ohm Cairn’, a savage journey of 6-string delights and aggressive melodies. Omniarch
has been toiling away on this album and is excited to show off their
handiwork to local and international fans. The album is a vastly
differing and unique journey through history, mythology, the
imagination, and learning through introspection and reflection and the
single tells the tale of the Omniarch, his rise to power and omnipotent
rule.
They have cast their net wide and expect to entice fans across the metal spectrum, in their own words:
“It
is suitable for fans of aggressive, progressive and technical metal
music, it is something new, but still within the realms of what we know
and love. Our debut album is our full, headlining set, and plays great
in the order of the album.”
Any fans of technical and progressive death metal will find comfort in the blasting sounds of Omniarch, especially those who like Revocation, Inferi, and The Black Dahlia Murder.

STEVE VAI Looks Back On Working With DAVID LEE ROTH And WHITESNAKE - "I Wouldn't Trade Those Experiences For Anything"
Guitar World: You went to work with Frank Zappa at such a young age. It was a great opportunity, but were you intimidated to be around him?
Vai: "Oh, my God, yes! On one level it was petrifying. I was 18, and this was Frank Zappa. I was enamored of him. I would watch him and think, 'OK, Frank is reaching for his coffee. What’s he gonna tell me? What the fuck am I doing here?' All those things went through my head. (Laughs) But it’s funny, because at the same time, on a performance level, I was completely different.
I knew I could contribute to his music, and I was fiercely confident. I was like, 'Go ahead. Give me anything you want. I’m going to play it, and I’m going to blow you away. I am not one bit intimidated, because I know the secrets.' And my secret was just my practice ethic. Give me anything and I will break it down. I’ll learn it perfectly until I can play it with confidence to the point where you’re impressed. And I did that. I did things that to this day I can’t believe - things like 'The Jazz Discharge Party Hats' and 'Sinister Footwear'. I loved playing those things perfectly and as beautifully as I could. On that level, I wasn’t intimidated at all."
Guitar World: Soon after leaving Frank’s world, you joined Alcatrazz. Did that feel like a starter band into the big leagues, or were you thinking at the time that it might be a lifetime commitment?
Vai: "No, when I joined Alcatrazz, I knew it wasn’t how I would spend my life. But I saw it as a good opportunity to step into the limelight of an incredible virtuoso, Yngwie Malmsteen, and make a rock record with some really cool guys. I never looked at any of the bands I joined as lifetime commitments; that just didn’t seem realistic. And this was much to the chagrin or disappointment of my high school band even, because we had a great little thing going, and then I suddenly moved to Boston to attend Berklee. 'Why are you doing this to us and our band that has all these hopes and dreams of fame and fortune?' I loved that band. I’ve said this before: It was my favorite band that I was ever in. Because when you’re in a high school rock band, there’s nothing cooler than that."
Guitar World: So you obviously didn’t see playing with David Lee Roth and Whitesnake as lifetime commitments either.
Vai: "No, absolutely not. I loved those guys, and I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. But as I was going through it all, I saw how easy it was to get wrapped up in creating an identity for yourself from it: 'I’m a rock star. I’m playing arenas, winning all the polls and making so much money. It’s who I am, and I’m going to hold on to this forever.' That always seemed like insane thinking to me. Did I enjoy it? Sure, but I also knew it wasn’t what I was going to do all my life, because the music I had in me had to come out; otherwise, my career would be an epic fail."

DEF LEPPARD Frontman JOE ELLIOTT - "Punk Rock Was An Enormous Part Of My Life; It Was Exactly That Same Attitude That Made Me Want To Be In A Band"
Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott guested on Rock Hard With Jay Conroy and discussed the new album from his side project, Down N’ Outz, as well as Def Leppard's history, plans for a new studio album, and the band's upcoming tour schedule. Check out the interview below.
Elliott: "A lot of rockstars are lazy, and a lot of rock stars are thought of as lazy, like, 'Ah, you guys do drugs and shag women and smoke reefer and drink beer.' Punk rock was an enormous part of my life. You wouldn't think that listening to my music necessarily, but honestly, the attitude, punk was a lifesaver. With the punk thing, what that did was: as a kid, I would listen to the Pistols and The Clash, The Damned, and The Ramones, and I would go, 'I could do that,' and it was exactly the same attitude that made me want to be in a band. I couldn't sing like Paul Rogers or Robert Plant, that was never going to be my thing, but I could do Joe Strummer, Debbie Harry, Tom Verlaine, any of that kind of thing."
Joe Elliott Interview by Jay Conroy
Def Leppard have released an official live video for "Run Riot" (Hysteria At The O2), from their upcoming Def Leppard: London To Vegas set. Originally scheduled for release on April 24, the title has been pushed back to May 29.
This limited edition 2Blu-ray+4CD, 2DVD+4CD and digital format release features two spectacular concert films: Hysteria At The O2 and Hits Vegas, Live At Planet Hollywood.
Filmed in December 2018, Hysteria At The O2 captures Def Leppard celebrating the groundbreaking Hysteria, one of their two diamond-certified 10x platinum albums (the other being Pyromania). Performed in its entirety before a ravenous sold-out crowd, this momentous homecoming event is made all the more powerful as it was their long-awaited debut at the iconic O2 Arena in London. Featuring electrifying performances of “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Animal,” “Women,” and “Love Bites,” band members Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick “Sav” Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar), and Rick Allen (drums) conclude the set with a host of extra hits including “Let’s Get Rocked,” “When Love and Hate Collide,” and “Photograph.”
Six months later, just after their induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Def Leppard undertook a residency in Las Vegas at Zappos Theatre in Planet Hollywood. Hits Vegas, Live At Planet Hollywood is a 28-song deep dive into not only their greatest hits, but rarities such as “Too Late For Love,” “Billy’s Got A Gun,” “Slang,” and “Promises.” Highlighting Def Leppard’s versatility, Hits Vegas presents a livewire stage show with two stages and video walls, punctuated with intimate, acoustic renditions of rarely performed songs “Let Me Be The One,” “We Belong,” “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad,” and “Two Steps Behind.”
Hits Vegas offers a behind-the-scenes bonus feature, while Hysteria At The O2 is rounded out with the bonus Hysteria: Then And Now mini-documentary. As a whole, Def Leppard: London To Vegas encapsulates the prestige of one of rock’s most iconic bands.
Packed in a 10” box with a 40-page hardback book, the set is completed with audio from both concerts. Hysteria Live, featuring the performance of the complete Hysteria album from the O2 show, will also be available separately on crystal clear 2LP, packaged in a gatefold sleeve.
Finally, in addition to these in-depth sets, Def Leppard: London To Vegas is now available for pre-order as a direct-to-consumer package with exclusive merchandise bundles here. These include a London To Vegas T-shirt, London To Vegas 12x12 lithograph, branded envelope featuring replica setlist, guitar pics, and replica laminates from both shows, and an exclusive 4-song picture disc, Acoustic In Vegas.

Anvil Frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow Discusses New Album "Legal At Last," Hemp, Swing Music And More
The final gig before flying across the Atlantic however, was in my hometown of Swindon and I couldn't have been more excited to meet some genuine legends of heavy metal in my backyard. Before their show at Level III, I sat down with frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow to discuss the band's scorching new album, "Legal At Last," the longevity of the group, the influence of swing music and much more. You can listen to the interview in full below with a transcript to follow.
Metal Underground: Anvil Interview (Audio)
Interview with Alyanza by Didac López / Bathory´zine
-Andrés- Alyanza was formed in 2002, hehehe, yes, when I joined the voices, Manolo and I decided that in better English.
Before playing in Alyanza, had any of its members played in other groups?
-Andrés- I was at Crusade which was heavy metal and Abrahel, black metal.
-Alberto- I have been to several, including Crisis Alma and Fuck Off.
-Marta- I have done a little of everything, the first group in which I met Alberto was Harmmony Dreams, which was melodic death and in which I was the singer. I also spent some time in Fuck Off as a bass player, but where I got personally involved the most was as a singer for Crisis Alma.
-Alf-I was a guitarist in Zarrio and The smokers die younger, then I switched to drums in Alyanza.
After your first demo "Mind Control" came out, what was the change from the demo to this first album?
-Andrés- The most significant change was the move to thrash metal, with sharp guitar voices, and thrasher drums.
-Alf-Mainly the style that became more thrash and part of the training. We became three components at that time.
What are your lyrics about?
-Andrés- A little bit of everything, from the consciousness of the mind, coexistence, and other ramblings to the simplest thing that is shitting in the whole system, to the Sex Pistol.
-Alberto- Although this latest album is not conceptual, the truth is that more than half of the songs speak, to a large extent, of the personal microcosm and its conflicts.
-Marta- Delving into the conceptual part of the album, I would add that we have related the internal conflict affecting the metaphysical part of the human being and the torture that this involves.
-Alf-A little bit of everything, about society, things that happen in the world and good or bad feelings that every person in their life goes through ..
Do you do them all?
-Andrés- In the first 3 we did them between Manolo and me, and the latter, we did them between the 3 Alberto, Marta and me.
-Marta- The truth is that it has been surprisingly easy to work the letters cooperatively. It has been very fluid, since without seeking it, we have all agreed on the thematic approach, which is in keeping with the musical sense of the themes.
-Alf-For my part not since I am not good at writing them hahaha.
Your second album was called "A New Beginning" followed by "Gods" and now shortly the fourth called "Life, Human ..." will be released. I met you with "Gods" and it hooked me from the first moment. What can your fans, including myself, expect from this new work?
-Andrés- Well, this new album has a little bit of everything, it is even more varied than Gods and it also has some pretty cool songs.
-Alberto- We try to maintain the varied spirit of the Gods by increasing the extremes. In addition to flirting with death metal and some more sinister textures, we have used much more orchestration than in previous works.
You have come to play in one of the Rock Fest editions and you have even supported bands like Sodom and Onslaught. You haven't stopped playing. Do you have any offer from abroad to go play?
-Andrés- Well, the truth, not yet. We hope that this year and with this album, we can go outside.
-Alf-Not at the moment, but I think I remember that at some point there was an occasion.
In recent times there have been changes in the band, you have included Marta Roura on keyboards. Why is the inclusion of keyboards in the band, is it because of the new songs?
-Andrés- Alyanza since the 2nd disc has included keyboards in some parts of her songs, and on a couple of occasions a friend had played with us live. The latter if it has a lot of keyboard.
-Alberto- Andrés designed the new formation with that idea in mind, to be able to use denser and more varied arrangements. This has allowed us to include songs that were not designed for a more conventional structure.
-Alf-Because in some songs (even from the first album) there are recorded bases and in the last songs even more. In addition to filling the topics much more and earning a lot live.
Talk to us a little about "Life, Human ..."?
-Andrés- This Life, Human ... is the culmination of a long time of work, after the departure of Gods and the departure also of Manolo. 3 years have passed and we have tried to capture all our inspiration.
-Alberto- I think we have achieved a good balance, we combine themes from almost 30 years ago with other newborns. The stylistic freedom is remarkable, without pretending to address a certain audience, it is very open.
-Marta- I join the opinion of others and I add that although as we have already said, the album is very free and offers from very polemical themes to calmer themes, passing through complex themes to others that are more direct, the ensemble remains very integrated.
-Alf-They are a little more complex and complete, the truth is that they personally fit very well with what we do and are very well adapted to keyboards. The solos are outrageous and quite polemic.
With many friends I have talked to, most have told me that you are the Spanish Kreators. Has this band influenced you? And personally what are the influences of each member of the band.
-Andrés- All music influences you when composing yours. Kreator for me is the best Thrash group, but I don't see much like Alyanza either ... hahaha
-Alberto- From Mike Oldfield to Morbid Angel.
-Marta- I listen to very diverse music, from sinister techno to extreme death metal. If the song or the group reaches me and makes my skin stand on end ... go ahead with it !! And yes, Kreator is one of them.
-Alf-More than influencing, some may be similar. For my part, the influences are very varied, from groups like Slayer to bands like Cannibal Corpse.
Finally say what you want.
-Andrés- Well, thank you Didac, for this interview, and that soon we will have this new album for sale, in all stores. Thanks Didac.
-Alberto- Thank you very much and to all those interested in our music.
-Marta- Thank you also for offering us the opportunity to make our music known a little more. We hope you like it and enjoy the album.
-Alf-First thank you very much for having us in the interview and I hope that our new job pleases the public and goes as far as possible !!
Thank you.
