LAST CHANCE TO REASON PROVIDES 'LEVEL 2' GAME UPDATE

Maine's LAST CHANCE TO REASON, who have spent the last year touring with the likes of Protest The Hero, Obscura and Animals As Leaders, recently returned to the road alongside Dying Fetus, Job For A Cowboy and more. That tour ends March 14 in Arkansas, but the group will then play one final show -- Prosthetic Records' SXSW Showcase in Austin, Texas -- two nights later before heading home.

While on the road, the band has continued to work on the video game companion to 2011's concept album "Level 2," hailed by Revolver as "sick progressive tech-metal." Drummer Evan Sammons checks in with the following update: "What's up, metal nerds? Here's a little update from the LCTR camp. Our tour with Dying Fetus, Job for a Cowboy and Volumes has been kicking some serious ass. Today we begin the second leg with Goatwhore taking over JFAC's spot, and while we hate to see those dudes go, they're going to have a blast in Europe with Cannibal Corpse!

"Coming up on the 16th, we'll be playing the Prosthetic Showcase at SXSW, with our buddies in Scale the Summit. Looking forward to great times with them as always.

"If you've been keeping up with the status of the 'Level 2' videogame, here's a small update: Programming is almost complete for the next episode to be released for 'Coded to Fail' and 'Taking Control.' We just need to get the visuals completely implemented, and we'll get it out there to you guys. We're also looking into crowd-funding options like Kickstarter to speed up that process. We'll post additional updates on our Facebook in the coming weeks."

Produced by Jamie King (BTBAM, The Human Abstract), "Level 2" is a modern take on the classic progressive concept album. Drawing influence from the 70's prog of King Crimson and Yes, composers Steve Reich and Schoenberg as well as prog-metal masters Opeth, Dream Theater and Cynic, the album revolves around the relationship between man and technology, our move from physical reality to virtual spaces and what these changes mean to our lives and our art. The lyrics are expressed from the point of view of an artificial intelligence facing the violent reality of a videogame world.

EXHUMED Announce U.S. Tour Dates With Cannibal Corpse and more

Adding to a maniacal live takeover that includes a short South American run with Aborted, the Grind Over Europe Tour with Rotten Sound and Magrudergrind, a U.K. journey with Anaal Nathrakh and a handful of stateside headlining dates, California goregrind ministers EXHUMED are pleased to announce a near month-long bout of U.S. dates with death metal icons/headliners Cannibal Corpse! Joined by labelmates Abysmal Dawn and Arkaik, the live rituals will commence on April 5 in Jacksonville, Florida and include an appearance at the The Cincinnati Metal Fest on April 14 as well as a special show on April 28 where the brutal caravan will merge with the Decibel Magazine tour featuring Behemoth, Watain, The Devil’s Blood and In Solitude.

Comments vocalist/guitarist Matt Harvey: "We are totally stoked about this tour and look forward to seeing some smiling, blood-streaked faces in the front row every night. It's a great tour package to be a part of, and anyone within barfing distance should cruise out and grab a beer with us! It's truly a pleasure to support a band that has as much longevity and integrity as the gentlemen in Cannibal Corpse, so we'll try extra hard not to go out there and stink it up every night. Our livers, brain cells and dignity are about to be sacrificed on the altar of death metal once again -- see you all out there!”

NOISECREEP.COM PREMIERING NEW TRACK FROM THE GEORGIAN SKULL'S "MOTHER ARMAGEDDON, HEALING APOCALYPSE"

ALBUM IN STORES MARCH 22 ON SCARLET RECORDS

Starting today, NOISECREEP.com is offering an exclusive stream of a "Funeral Song" from the forthcoming release by GEORGIAN SKULL entitled "Mother Armageddon, Healing Apocalypse" is scheduled for release on March 22 on Scarlet Records. Get your first listen to at http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/02/22/georgian-skull-the-funeral-song-premiere/

Inspired by 1970's Heavy Metal such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy, GEORGIAN SKULL have fused the past with even heavier metal bands like Clutch, Pantera and Entombed. GEORGIAN SKULL continues to redefine their sound and presence as one of the most important bands to have come out of Canada. The death of the stoner band Mister Bones brought out the most significant chapter of the band's life: its afterlife. Which is simply known as GEORGIAN SKULL. A revolution is on its way, a great tale is about to be told, and the power of the Doom and Groove that possess this band will set out to unleash a masterful work in their new album, set to be released on Scarlet Records.

GEORGIAN SKULL is absolutely one of the most crushing live bands around, a real must for any fan of Black Sabbath. GEORGIAN SKULL is a four-piece out of Windsor, London and Hamilton, Canada, fronted by vocalist/lead guitarist Al "The Yeti" Bones (also frontman for U.S.A 's sludge king's The Mighty Nimbus). 'Mother Armageddon, Healing Apocalypse' is the confirmed title of the band's debut full length album: Apocalyptic lyrics meshed with life's struggle for sanity, crossed with the biggest, baddest riffs around. Georgian Skull command the attention of every audience they've played for. Bands they have shared the stage with have been Anvil, Cryptopsy, Today Is The Day, Goatwhore, Trouble, Sons Of Otis, and many, many more. Artwork duties were handled by Vince Locke (well known for his work with death metal legends Cannibal Corpse).
