Lords of Acid, the Belgian electro-industrial outfit fronted by the legendary Praga Khan, is taking fan interaction to an entirely new level by working directly with fans on song themes and ultimately picking a listener suggested album title.
The concept came from Khan himself who is an unwavering believer in fan interaction as is evidenced by his recently launched crowd funded SonicAngel label group. While Khan has always sought fan opinion, technology had not allowed him to previously look outside his circle of friends and band mates when the band released their last full-length album, 2001's Farstucker. With the advent of Facebook (facebook.com/lordsofacid) and Twitter (twitter.com/lordsofacidband), Khan has been able to speak directly with listeners and incorporate their ideas.
Lords of Acid are set to release their first album on Metropolis Records in early 2012 with an EP, Mighty Little Rabbit, coming this Fall. The band formed in 1988 with their biggest selling album being Voodoo-U, which was recently certified gold (sales in excess of 500,000 copies) in the U.S.

The ninth Ragnarök Festival will be again on the post-Easter-weekend:
12. - 14. April 2012: Stadthalle Lichtenfels
Less than one week after this year\'s festival we can already confirm the first two bands for 2012. Celebrating their comeback in the 6th edition of our festival Einherjer will be back for more at Ragnarök 9. With new material and an ever growing fanbase it will be easy for them to blast the Stadthalle Lichtenfels again. Unfortunately Wolfchant cancelled their gig for this year, but we have good news for their fans: The Bavarian Pagan Metal heroes will catch up on everything in 2012. More information and an all-new layout will be online during the summer.

The lineup for the 16th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting is complete! Today we’re adding the final four names, including two homegrown bands.
‘Youth is the future’ is a saying that certainly applies to the West Flemish band STEAK NUMBER EIGHT. Winners of the 2007 edition of the prestigious Humo’s Rock Rally at the tender age of 16, these young guns graft their fierce postrock/noise on heroes Isis, Mastodon and Neurosis. Steak started building a faithful following the moment they burst upon the scene and the release earlier this year of their brilliant second album ‘All Is Chaos’ is another major step forward. The band has clearly matured since they blew us away at GMM2008 and who knows what else this year has in store for the Wevelgem quartet? Surely a major international breakthrough is just a question of time… (Sunday 26 June)

In summer 2009 Wolfgang Rothbauer and Gerald Huber had an idea to form a unique project with the coolest musicians they can catch for it. Both grew up with 90's death metal stuff, and so the musical direction was quickly clear.
Introduced by Wolfgang Rothbauer (In Slumber) and Gerald Huber (Collapse7), joined by Tomasz "Nefastus" Janiszewski (Belphegor, Fleshcrawl, Debauchery), Daniel Lechner (The Cascades, ex-Lacrimas Profundere) and Martin Schirenc (Hollenthon, Ex-Pungent Stench), this undead quintet will taste a lot of twitching brains and steal your soul! Rooted in 90's death metal, the sound has modern influences too. Watch out for more news to come within the next months! ZOMBIE INC.'s debut album "A Dreadful Decease" is scheduled to be released on August 26, 2011!
ZOMBIE INC. Lineup:
Wolfgang Rothbauer – Guitars
Gerald Huber – Guitars
Tomasz -Nefastus- Janiszewski – Drums
Daniel Lechner – Bass
Martin Schirenc -Vocals
