December 18, 2006

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, DRAGONFORCE, CHIMAIRA and HE IS LEGEND will team up for the first annual No Fear Music Tour, set to kick off in early 2007. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's new album, "As Daylight Dies", sold just under 60,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release to debut at position No. 32 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD is the follow up to 2004's Grammy-nominated album "The End of Heartache", which is nearly certified gold and 2005's gold-selling DVD "(Set This) World Ablaze".

DRAGONFORCE's "Inhuman Rampage" CD has sold 94,000 copies in the United States since its June release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The follow-up to 2004's "Sonic Firestorm" was recorded at Thin Ice Studios in Virginia Water (Surrey) and guitarist Herman Li's own studio in West London between April and September 2005, while production duties were shared between Li, fellow axeman Sam Totman and keyboard player Vadim Pruzhanov.

Ferret Music has set a March 6, 2007 North American release date for CHIMAIRA's new album, "Resurrection". The CD will be issued in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records.

CHIMAIRA began recording "Resurrection" on October 2 with the production team of Jason Suecof and Andy Sneap (MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY). The band filmed a video for the title track off "Resurrection" on December 6-7 in the Los Angeles area. The group will headline "Chimaira Christmas 7" on Wednesday, December 27 at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. Also scheduled to appear are DEMIRICOUS, FOREVER IN TERROR and BOWEL.
