Great show this week as we bring you a chat we had with David E. Gehlke the author of “Damn The Machine - The Story of Noise Records”.

It’s summer reading time so if you want to get yourself a copy direct from David head to his site at DeliberationPress.com or you can always head to Amazon or also it’s carried by SPV in Europe via the mighty NuclearBlast.de

Famed Kreator/Celtic Frost Illustrator to Design New Hirax Album Cover

Philip Lawvere, the artist behind such classic album covers as KREATOR's Pleasure to Kill and CELTIC FROST's Emperor's Return, has come out of retirement and will design the as-yet-untitled new HIRAX album, which is scheduled for a Spring 2013 release.

Lawvere had done stunning illustrations for numerous albums and is best known for a slew of thrash metal offerings released on Noise Records. HIRAX front man commented:

"We couldn't be happier to have Philip Lawvere illustrating the cover of our new album; after getting Bill Metoyer to produce it, this is truly the icing on the thrash metal cake!"

Early Praise for "La Boca de la Bestia (The Mouth of the Beast)"

"Organic true metal! Very good guitar work! It shreds and kills!

- Juan Garcia (Agent Steel, Evildead)

"I can't decide if I like the headbanging part at the intro better or the heads-down, double bass thrash attack that comes afterwards. Great chorus, great guitar solo section! This is a thrash metal classic for sure! A no-remorse killer! I'm still snarling the chorus under my breath! - Willie A. Gee (Megadeth veteran guitar tech)
