Millions Reveals New Track from Seventh Rule Debut

Millions, the Chicago-based band led by Seventh Rule Recordings boss Scott Flaster, proudly reveals "Lest The Professor Catches On Fire," the first track off its forthcoming full-length debut, Gather Scatter.

Hear "Lest The Professor Catches On Fire" here.


As the founder of Seventh Rule Recordings, Flaster has helped define the left field of the metal scene since 2003, releasing music by Akimbo, Indian, Wetnurse, Plague Bringer, and more. The Chicago Reader recently hailed Seventh Rule for its "high quality, lovingly packaged, and brutally punishing underground metal."


The newest addition to the Seventh Rule roster, Flaster`s own band Millions storms forth with a sound possessing Black Flag`s angst as well as King Crimson`s grandeur.


Gather Scatter was recorded and mixed by Chris Owens (Akimbo, Young Widows) and mastered by Pete Lyman (The Mars Volta, Queens Of The Stone Age).


The album`s track listing is as follows:


1) Lest The Professor Catches Fire
2) View From A Sinking Ship
3) Saddle Up And Ride
4) Getting The Last Word
5) Pickpocket
6) Life Is Satisfactory
7) Mile High Cake
8) We Make Poor Decisions


Millions will be touring throughout 2009, including dates with Gods And Queens, Sweet Cobra, Light Yourself On Fire, and Lords.


Gather Scatter hits stores March 31 via Seventh Rule.

MASTODON: New Track To Premiere On BBC RADIO 1's 'Rock Show'

Atlanta-based hard rock behemoths MASTODON will reveal a brand new song, "Divinations", from their highly anticipated, long-awaited new studio album, "Crack The Skye", on next week's (January 26/27) installment of BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show". The program, which is hosted by Daniel P. Carter, airs Monday nights/Tuesday mornings between 12:00 midnight and 2:00 a.m. local U.K. time (7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST). American fans can tune in to the radio debut via the Internet at this location. The following day — Tuesday, January 27 — fans will have the opportunity to buy the "Divinations" bundle which will be comprised of a two-track CD-single ("Divinations", along with an instrumental, non-album version of the track) and an exclusive album art T-shirt unavailable anywhere else. The single will also be available digitally as well from iTunes and all other participating digital retailers. This direct-to-consumer bundle is only available through www.mastodonrocks.com. Supplies will be extremely limited, so don't delay.

Hardcore MASTODON fans who paid close attention were recently rewarded by the band who gave away a quantity of free "Crack The Skye" album T-shirts to their most loyal supporters by strategically placing special redemption codes at various hard rock online destinations, including BLABBERMOUTH.NET and the band's own MySpace page. These shirts are now gone but keep a close eye on the band's web site for future fan-related exclusive offers, merchandise, contests and content.

Possum of Altitude conducted an interview with MASTODON at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants), which was held January 15-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Watch the five-minute chat below.

A teaser clip of the new MASTODON track "Oblivion" is available for streaming on the band's official web site. The song will appear on "Crack The Skye", which is tentatively due late March.

John Doran of The Quietus has posted a track-by-track review of "Crack The Skye". Read it at this location.

Patrizia Mazzuoccolo of the "Tinitus" radio show, which airs every Wednesday on Norway's NRK P3, spoke to MASTODON drummer Brann Dailor in late November prior the band's concert in Oslo as part of the "Unholy Alliance: Chapter III" tour with SLAYER, TRIVIUM and AMON AMARTH.

Exclusive excerpts from the interview were originally aired on the November 26, 2008 edition of "Tinitus". The show is now available on podcast at this location.

"Crack the Skye" was recorded at Southern Tracks Studios in Atlanta and was produced and mixed by Brendan O'Brien, who has previously worked with VELVET REVOLVER, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, PEARL JAM, AC/DC and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, among others.
