Haste the Day, Norma Jean, Hawk Nelson

Haste the Day has finally given us the name of their next album. Expected to come out in June, the new album is to have the name ""Attack of the Wolf King". Expect artwork to come out soon for it.

Speaking of new albums, Norma Jean has recorded 13 new songs for their next record "Meridional", the actual album will only feature 10 songs, but hopefully you will see the other 3 released as a B-Side or maybe on iTunes? If you want to go behind the scenes with the group, head over to Decibel Magazine (LINK), where you can find extensive coverage on the album, as well as a ton of pics including one member playing a Felix the Cat guitar

If you are late to the Hawk Nelson scene, and you are interested in getting their older material while saving money at the same time, you are in luck. The group is releasing "Hawkology". This compilation includes "Letters to the President", "Smile, It's the End of the World", and "Hawk Nelson...is My Friend". The album is coming out on June 8th

Finally, August Burns Red is going to do a live album. If you are a HARDCORE ABR fan, then this information is important to you. The live recording is on June 4th, in Manheim, Pennsylvania. It's quite the distance, but tickets for the show are only 10 dollars, and you would be apart of "history", don't forget that

Underoath, Showbread, As I Lay Dying

Easily, the biggest piece of news during the past couple of weeks is about Underoath. Aaron Gillespie has left Underoath. He has been with the group ever since the band was formed, and for the last 5 years, has been considered the leader of the band. He will continue witht The Almost and says their is no bad blood between him and Underoath. If you want to see a quick blurb of his thoughts, just head over to the blog post on The Almost's Myspace (LINK)

Showbread is no longer with Tooth and Nail records. They have moved over to Come&Live! Records. This is a label that donates all their proceeds to those in need. One line stands in the press release though ""[We] will be releasing [our] next album in a variety of formats including a completely free high quality download..." More information can be found on their Myspace (LINK)

As I Lay Dying is teasing us. Rather then giving us a full song from their upcoming album "The Powerless Rise" they are instead giving us just a sample. It's for the song Beyond Our Suffering and (of course), you can hear it on their Myspace

One final piece of news, there is a new Devil Wears Prada video. It's for their song "Assistant to the Regional Manager" You can see the video below
