some 300 shows per year in support of their first album „Voice Of Life 1977‰ on
London Records usually as headliner and as opening act for Frank Mario and
Mahogany Rush, Stampeders, Moxy and more. This would be the only release
until the year 2001 which saw the release of Avalon II on Fractal Records.
According to Manfred Leidecker „we lost touch in the 80,s all of us forming
new bands and projects, we got together in 1990 and recorded a handful
of songs written in the 1970,s which were never released, this became „Avalon II‰.
We are now well into writing CD number three.

Everything for the "War in Heaven / Hell on Earth" CD has been submitted to
mp3.com. If everything goes according to plan, the CD should be available
in about a week. It will be $8.98 for the physical CD (which will contain
the songs in regular as well as mp3 format, encoded at 192k) along with its
killer artwork, and $4.99 for the "netCD" version (which is purely
electronic). Again, your support will allow us to bid in mp3.com's
placement auctions; with YOUR help, we will get placement on their home page
so our stuff will be exposed to 700,000 people per day for a week! So when
the CD comes out, remember: they make great gifts for all your friends!
And your enemies! And people you don't even know! And you'll want to have,
y'know, at least 5 or 10 spare copies around the house! ;)
We'd like to thank everyone who has been visiting our home page and mp3.com
page; we have made it as high as #27 on their metal charts now. Every time
you visit the page (http://www.mp3.com/nwobhm_holocaust) and play the tracks
on there, you are helping us both in terms of placement on the charts and
also through the payback for playback program. So keep stopping by and
cranking the tunes so we can crack the top ten!
I will be switching out some of the mp3s at some point soon -- stop by our
message board at http://members.boardhost.com/holocaust with any requests.
Finally, stop by our home page at http://www.holocaustmetal.com if you
haven't done so in the last few days, as I've put up the cover of the
WiH/HoE CD. It's going to be a killer package!!!
Stay metal!

FORLORN
The Norwegian Metal act , FORLORN is in need of much promotion at this time..WHY you ask ?
Because as most of you know FORLORN used to be a Viking metal band with only 2 members thus being a studio only band and never toured.
The band is now a 5 piece act (including Dolgar of Gehenna on main vocals) with a steady line up & whole new brutal sound !!!
They are looking to play gigs all around Europe and hopefully will be doing so once their CD is released in Aug. 2002 on Napalm Records !!!
Since FORLORN has a new sound sending their old material on CD would make no sense since they no longer have the Viking metal sound !! They are always looking for Interviews both radio and Magazines etc.
So I ask you to help promote FORLORN in any way you can. They have alot to show for all the hard work they have been doing and you can hear some rough samples of the new style by visiting their website at http://forlorn.n3.net
Thank you for your time and SUPPORT THE METAL SCENE !!!!!

Anvil's next release will be titled "Still Going Strong". They are hoping to have it out in March 2002. Here is what Lips has to say about it:
"There will be an instrumental on this cd! We haven't writen any super speed songs like Park that Truck or Real Metal. The reason for that is that we've already done it! The songs are of various feels. Nothing really slow either, it's anywhere from mid to high tempo's. It's pure power metal, that means it will have to have melody!!! I would best describe it as a continuation of Plenty or Power. I think the drumming is more intense this time round, I think Robb Reiner fans are going to be decapitated by this one!! If you though Beat the Law was hot ..."
