ATTACKHEAD

918 RECORDING ARTISTS “ATTACKHEAD” RELEASES DEBUT CD WITH 5% OF ALL PROFITS BENEFITING THE MELANOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION

The Southern California heavy metal band, “Attackhead” has partnered with the New Jersey-based Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) to help raise funds for melanoma research and education. Attackhead is donating five percent of all profits from the sales of its merchandise to the non-profit organization.

The decision to partner with the MRF came after Mark Chapman’s, lead singer/guitarist of Attackhead, father died in July 2005 from complications caused by melanoma. Chapman hopes this partnership will raise funds and educate a younger audience about the dangers of melanoma.

“Many people do not understand the seriousness of melanoma,” said Chapman. “Attackhead is proud to support the work of the Melanoma Research Foundation.”

Attackhead was formed in late 2002 by Chapman. The band has been described as “skull crushing heavy metal with an old school edge.” Attackhead has been performing in the Southern California area and is gaining a good reputation in the music industry. Attackhead self-produced their debut CD “Voices in the Dark.” Chapman believes that when a band is in control of its direction and finances, it accomplishes things that otherwise may not be possible.

“We are very grateful to Attackhead for their commitment to melanoma education,” said Linda Pilkington, executive director of MRF. We hope this partnership will generate additional visibility about the importance of early detection.”

Americans have a one in 60 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, and approximately 53,000 cases of invasive melanoma are expected to be diagnosed this year. Estimates suggest that one in 50 will be diagnosed in 2010. In fact, melanoma is the primary cause of cancer death in women 25 to 30 years old and the number two cause of cancer death, after breast cancer, in women 30 to 35 years old. The average life span for someone with advanced melanoma is less than one year.

Attackhead’s CD can be purchased on the Web at CDmaximum.com or through Attackhead’s Web sites, www.attackhead.com or www.myspace.com/attackhead.

WORLDFAST-RUINATION

:Worldfast has evolved, like most bands do, over the course of the last nine years. The first of many reincarnations started with Pat and Johnny Q in a band called Mr. Ed. The genesis seldom resembles the finished product, but even then Johnny's intrinsically driving rhythms and Pat's hard charging, aggressive chord progressions were always prevalent. After a cast of thousands trooped through the "rehearsal chamber," the final survivors have culminated into today's powerful lineup. The keys to today's Worldfast, include the additions of Mike Mayberry at the front, taking the music to ever greater emotional highs and lows and lending an adept hand at crafting lyrics that ring true in todays society. James Roy, a fresh raw talent, brimming with creativity and energy at bass, brings an anchor to the maelstrom around him. This is not a one dimensional project; there are many levels constantly at work with one goal: Giving you the best experience we can...it is not a show to be missed..."

Worldfast is well worth your time to take a listen to and certainly well worth Your money to get the cd.This is a solid piece of work all the way through.....

Freevil

Prepare yourself for some Freeevil In support of their new album Freevil Burning Three songs have been added into the rotation
Risen from the ashes of thrash metal act Denata, Tomas Andersson and Roger Blomberg teams up with Mique Flesh (ex. Witchery/Seance) and invokes new musical spirits summoned in hell’s fire. The idea and hunger for a new project soon formed into what now has been unleashed as Freevil. The idea was to create something diverging from their natural influences and create something new and unexpected. Just going with riffs that felt good – not caring to much where on the metal brutality Richter scale they fitted – as long as they ROCKED in the widest but still deepest sense of the word
As always please the bands know you heard it hear and let us know what ya yhink in the forums
