EDITOR'S NOTE

Metalheads:

October marks the Five-year anniversary of the Metal Update and the Four-year anniversary of Metal Judgment. As in the past, we are marking the occasion with a special edition.

In five years, the Metal Update has delivered over 250 weekly newsletters chronicling the events that shape the world of metal. As the Metal Update continues to grow in both reach and scope, we have only your support and interest to thank.

The Metal Update was created in 1998 in an effort to utilize the expanding communications opportunities afforded by the web to bring metalheads a concise, fact-based update on metal happenings devoid of editorial slant, self-indulgent banter and label-generated pseudo-news. A reader retention rate of nearly 100% confirms that we have been successful in filling our niche.

As the Metal Update has grown, the costs of delivery have increased. We would like to take this opportunity to pledge to keep the Metal Update a free service, but request that those who have the resources make a small donation to help support the cause. If you are able, please follow the link below and make a secure donation commensurate with the amount of value that you believe that the Metal Update delivers.

As we move forward, we hope to make our operation self-sufficient so that we can stand the test of time and continue to grow as technology allows. Our efforts will continue to be for the greater good of the metal community.

Thanks to the readers, bands, promoters, web sites, magazines and labels who have supported us.

THE GATHERING
in the wake of the birth of his new baby girl, bassist Hugo Prinsen Geerligs is leaving the band to focus on his private life � the new bass player is a woman named Marjolein Kooijman - meanwhile, on January 26th Century Media Records will release a semi-acoustic live album entitled �Sleepy Buildings�

GOD AMONG INSECTS
this old school death metal project features bassist Tomas Elofsson (Sanctification), Tobben Gustafsson (Vomitory), guitarist Lord K. Philipson (The Project Hate) and vocalist J�rgen Sandstr�m (The Project Hate, Entombed) � the music is said to be like a mixture of old Grave, Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel, Deicide, etc.

SHAITAN MAZAR
this new act features former Nile members Chief Spires (bass, vocals) and John Ehlers (guitar) and is rounded out by Jason Hohenstein (vocals), Robert Dirr (guitars) and Brett Goode (drums) � the musical style is being described by Spires as "ranging from the most extreme attack to metal, ambient, melodic passages.

DISSECTION
the band�s comeback tour scheduled for December 2004 will reportedly be "something out of the ordinary" with shows around two hours long and containing only old material � more or less every song from the first two albums �The Somberlain� and �Storm Of The Light's Bane�

METAL BLADE RECORDS
the label office and staff homes narrowly escaped the fires in Simi Valley, CA, saved only by the brave and courageous firefighters and emergency personnel

DEICIDE
according to a newspaper report, guitarist Eric Hoffman and a member of the band�s crew were arrested last week by U.S. customs inspectors when a search at the Canadian border uncovered drugs (amphetamines, marijuana, anabolic steroids, hypodermic needles and three types of prescription depressants) and weapons (.22-caliber revolver, a set of brass knuckles and a collapsible police baton) in their possession

NEW this week:

FU MANCHU
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewfumanchu.html

What on Earth is stoner rock? Not Fu Manchu, according to their definition. They'd simply prefer to be considered a rock band. While between record deals, the Fu recently released their double live album 'Go For It. . . Live!' The Metal Update caught up with frontman Scott Hill to find out why the fuzz stops here. . .

REVIEWS

METAL JUDGMENT
http://www.metaljudgment.com

In Year Four, the Judgment Committee collectively gave perfect scores to 8 albums:
The Crown 'Possessed 13'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/crownpossessed_frames.html

Grimfist 'Ghouls Of Grandeur'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/grimfist_frames.html

Children Of Bodom 'Hate Crew Deathroll'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/cobhate_frames.html

Vital Remains 'Dechristianize'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/vitaldechristian_frames.html

OverKill 'Killbox 13'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/overkill13_frames.html

Corporation 187 'Perfection In Pain'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/corp187_frames.html

The Haunted 'One Kill Wonder'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/hauntedkill_frames.html

Bloodbath 'Resurrection Through Carnage'
http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/bloodbath_frames.html

Knowing that hindsight is often 20/20, we have provided each Judgment Committee member the opportunity to rethink some of their Year Four scores. Each Committee member has been given the opportunity to amend some of their more egregious errors by giving one extra skull to each of five albums, and removing one skull from five others. The only rules? They must give five skulls. They must take away five skulls. And any one album can only move by one skull.
