You may have noticed that over the past few months quiet changes have been made to the site. First we gave you new artist pages. Check out your favorite and you'll find widgets, videos, music, and much more. Plus they look great.

A few weeks back we also updated our Artists page. You'll see highlighted artists up top in blue. These change as artists are updated with news, video, and music. This is a great page to make your first port-of-call after the news section!

Today we've relaunched three other pages. Music and Video are all new. You can now embed all of our music and video posted to the site in your blog, web site, or MySpace/Facebook profiles. At the right of these pages you'll see charts driven by what YOU do on our site. You can also leave comments at all songs and videos, rate them, and favorite them in our new profile system (more on that in a sec).







 

The Releases page has gotten a huge makeover. Every album now has its own home page where you can see the available tracks, rate it, leave a review, or comment on others' reviews. Snazzy huh?

Finally, we just launched our new profile pages. If you're a subscriber to our email newsletters, you can log in, add your own picture, keep track of the latest updates on our site (and partner sites), follow your favorite videos and music, and tell us what bands you want to hear about.

Of course, many of these new features require that you be a member of the site to use them, so please join today!

We are, of course, in a beta phase and need your help to make the site work the best for YOU. If you see any problems or want to suggest changes to the new features, please send an email to webmaster@roadrunnerrecords.com with "NEW SITE REPORT" in the subject line. If you receive an error, please be as detailed as possible, including what page you were on, what browser you are using, and copy any error message you receive into the body of the email.

Please feel free to leave comments here below!

Cheers!

Sanctity is making the most of their tour with Machine Head and Arch Enemy by documenting each and every aspect of being on the road. From the kind of grub they eat, to the kinds of grubs that get stuck in their van's grill, you can read all about it and see some great photos on their MySpace blog.

Sanctity's debut album Road to Bloodshed is available for download HERE.

North Carolina thrashers Sanctity are gearing up to conquer the road again. After a successful run with respected progressive metallers Symphony X, the band is cranking the volume up to 11 and heading out on the Black Tyranny Tour.

The tour will feature headliners Machine Head and Arch Enemy, as well as Throwdown. Sanctity front man Jared MacEachern will also be taking over backing vocal duties for label-mates Machine Head throughout the tour, filling in for injured bassist Adam Duce. "We're really stoked to have found a guy as killer as Jared to help us through this situation," commented Machine Head drummer Dave McClain. Kicking off on September 7th in California, the month long tour is poised to deliver Sanctity as a seasoned brand of thrash to welcoming audiences.

 

Sanctity recently shot a video for their upcoming single "Beloved Killer" with director Ramon Boutviseth (Seemless, Daylight Dies) in their home town of Asheville, North Carolina. Boutviseth has directed two of the band's previous videos, for "Zeppo" and "Beneath The Machine." The video for "Beloved Killer" is set to premiere on September 6.

 

Metal Maniacs magazine has praised the band for offering a "modern twist on old-school thrash," standing amongst an elite few American bands spearheading the modern thrash revival. Come see their trailblazing thrash explosion on the Black Tyranny Tour!

 

Sanctity's Roadrunner debut album Road To Bloodshed is out now.

Get ready for the Black Tyranny Tour, featuring Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Throwdown and Sanctity - click HERE for dates and order your ticket today.

Unfortunately, Machine Head bassist Adam Duce will miss the Black Tyranny Tour in the U.S. due to a broken leg suffered while dirt biking in Redding, CA. Initially thought to be nothing more than a bad sprain, x-rays later confirmed the break, which required surgery to attach a steel plate and two screws to the broken bone. A disappointed Duce laments, "It sucks to be in this position, because we have such a killer tour set up for the end of the summer and now we'll have to find a replacement for me. I've never missed one show that this band has ever played up to this point and I never thought I would see the day when Machine Head would be playing and I wouldn't be on stage." The band are currently rehearsing with temporary bassist candidates and are in the final stages of selecting Duce's replacement, the details of which will be announced as soon as they are determined. All Black Tyranny dates in the U.S. will go on as scheduled, and Duce will be returning for the Australian and European legs of The Black Crusade Tour, beginning with the band's Loudpark date in Japan.

Machine Head's latest album, The Blackening, has already been voted the year's best at the Kerrang! Awards - the first of many kudos yet to come, so pick it up in stores today.

The onslaught that is "The Black Tyranny Tour" begins Friday, September 7th and will rip a swath across North America well into October!  With Machine Head and Arch Enemy both performing full headlining sets and Throwdown and Sanctity supporting, you won't want to miss this tour!

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn states "Man, it's just an endless stream of good news here in Machine Head-land, we are so fucking stoked to be going out with some of our favorite bands, here in the U.S., on what is sure to be THE most brutal metal tour of the Fall!  Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Throwdown and Sanctity are going to bring the pain to you motherfuckers, and carnage will have no rules on this tour.  Beware The Black Tyranny!!!"

Arch Enemy's Angela Gossow adds, "Arch Enemy teaming up with Machine Head in the U.S. is a big FUCK YOU to everybody who dwells in the past!  We certainly aren't!  Instead we're looking forward to crushing the U.S. together and leaving nothing but a tangled wreck of molten metal in our wake!"

Gossow continues, "As an added bonus for Arch Enemy fans, this will be the first time in three years that the (recently reunited) Amott brothers will be bringing their insane dual-guitar shredding to American soil!  I am very excited to get back on stage and celebrate the sheer power of extreme music, all wrapped up in this fantastic tour package!"

                       "Let freedom ring with a METAL blast!!!"

The Black Tyranny Tour promises night after pummeling night of power from some of metal's finest.  From the first note to the last, The Black Tyranny Tour will be spoken of long after it crushes your town, so if there is one show this year that you can't afford to miss, this is it.  Prepare, The Black Tyranny is coming your way!

Machine Head's latest and possibly the best metal album ever is The Blackening, available for download here.

Yup, there's still a bunch of Download 2007 buzz, and this time it's for Sanctity. The fest posted pictures by photographer Phillip Bramhill in their photo galleries HERE. Sanctity is #117 - 137. Add this to our previous post on Megadeth/Machine Head photos, and you can see we've gotten some truly excellent photography in lately.
