HEIDEVOLK – NEW ALBUM IN SPRING 2015
After more then a month of recording, mixing and mastering HEIDEVOLK has completed their fifth full-length album. The band describes their experiences in the following statement:
"This week we have finished the production of our fifth full length album. We look back at an intense yet satisfying studio session with a killer product as a result. Although we booked the studio for plenty of days it proved to be a tight schedule to record, mix and master 15 songs. However, with the help of Jochem and Bouke at SplitSecondSound we've managed to maintain our focus and keep the quality to the standard it deserves. We cannot wait to release the album and play the new songs live in March 2015!!!"
Details about the release, album cover, title and track list will be announced early next year. For now HEIDEVOLK posted their first webisode with a peak inside the production process of the new album and a sample of a new song here:
Skrillex and Diplo share remix of Beyonce’s '7/11'
The pair posted the remix as Jack U, the collaborative name that the two producers previously released debut single 'Take U There (Featuring Kiesza)' under, in September.
As Pretty Much Amazing reports, Jack U’s remix came as part of a live set at OWSLA’s Christmas party - the record label founded by Skrillex in 2011. An official release for the remix is yet to be confirmed.

Portrait Announce UK & Ireland Tour With Rabid Bitch Of The North
Commencing in early 2015, the band will lay waste to venues the length and breadth of the isles in a blaze of twin-guitar fuelled metal mayhem. Entitled 'Seven Ageless Rites UK & Ireland' these shows will see Portrait take their brand of glorious, galloping and honest heavy metal to new audiences and ensure that their reputation for delivering the goods in fine style will be cemented, and indeed enhanced, in the hearts and minds of UK and Irish metal fans nationwide.
The band have also just released a split album via Metal Blade with brothers-in-arms Ram on 5th December. Titled 'Under Command', the split consists of 6 songs (3 from each band), of which the 3 Portrait songs on offer feature an exclusive, brand-new tune entitled 'Martial Lead', a cover of the Ram song 'Blessed to be Cursed' and the bands unique take on the classic Exciter song 'Aggressor'.
Support on this tour comes in the form of Northern Ireland's Rabid Bitch Of The North. Fresh from annihilating Bloodstock Festival in August this year, the band will come armed with their own fiery brand of NWOBHM inspired, aggressive heavy metal. Don't get too close - the bitch is about to bite!
If you're a fan of Angel Witch, Motörhead, Danzig, Warfare and more then do not miss these guys when they hit your town!
