Knoxville, Tennessee-based death/grind metallers WHITECHAPEL will release their second album, "This Is Exile", in Europe on July 14 via Metal Blade Records (July 11 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy). The CD was tracked by Jonny Fay (ex-guitarist of THE RED CHORD) of Backyard Studios in New Hampshire and was mixed by Zeuss, who has produced ION DISSONANCE, EMMURE, BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED, SHADOWS FALL and HATEBREED, among others.


IN THIS MOMENT will enter a Las Vegas studio on June 1 with producer Kevin Churko (OZZY OSBOURNE's "Black Rain") to begin recording its sophomore album, tentatively due late 2008 via Century Media Records. Among the tracks set to appear on the CD is "Forever", which the band recently recorded with Churko at the helm. The recordings sessions for the new album are expected to be completed by July 1.

SOULFLY has hired Robert Sexton (MONDO GENERATOR, AMEN, ICED EARTH) to direct the video for the song "Unleash" — the first single off the group's forthcoming album, "Conquer"."Conquer" is scheduled for release on July 29 via Roadrunner Records.

DISTURBED — frontman David Draiman, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren and bassist John Moyer — self-produced its forthcoming album, "Indestructible", for a June 3 release on Reprise Records. The first single from the album, "Inside The Fire", has been Number One at Active Rock radio for three weeks and counting, and marks the band's sixth Number One track and its fastest-rising chart-topper to date.

FIREBIRD, the British band led by former CARCASS/NAPALM DEATH guitarist Bill Steer, will enter Berno studios in Malmö, Sweden on May 19 to begin recording their new album for a late 2008 release via Rise Above Records. The group will spend two weeks recording and mixing at the same studio where FIREBIRD's second album, 2001's "Deluxe", was conceived.
