It’s been less than a week since the music industry lost the up and rising stars of Defying Atmosphere and already tragedy has struck again. This time it was one of Pride’s artists, the cellist from the heavy metal band MANTICORE, known as Superbia Squalo. MANTICORE’s manager tweeted the news late Friday night from a Moscow hospital. Squalo had reportedly been in a bar fight and sustained serious injuries. Shortly after arriving at the emergency room doctors pronounced him dead.

There was no copy on his personal computer. Once done he headed to his physical therapy appointment. ]

( this isn't even the best part... )

Last month, a well-known pair of bad influence, Lucifer of Junkyard Carnival and Superbia Squalo of MANTICORE, have been reportedly sighted wracking havoc in multiple clubs in the city. Reports list varying degrees of property damage, and witnesses agree that the stars definitely looked “aggressive and intoxicated”. However some juicy details of this endeavor had only become known recently.

It appears that the two had chosen the “Queen Bitch” club to perform an especially vocally intricate duet from last century’s rock opera which, according to experts, draws heavily on the ancient myths of Christianity. Several witnesses report it caused the crowd to behave strangely, and claim it was as if they were controlled by the performers’ voices.

Luckily, right when it looked like the two musicians, dressed in what would be appropriate in a BDSM dungeon, were about to put up a whole other show, the club’s security stepped in, rebutting the performer’s “glaringly obvious” passes at him and concentrating on his duty to the public. With a bit of trouble both from the rowdy stars -- or should we say, cult leaders? -- and the entranced crowd, ready to do their demonic bidding, one single man managed to put the riot in order and, according to a reliable source, toss both of them out of the club before anything else could get broken, set on fire or enslaved. Just who is this local hero?

With a bit of sniffing around, we managed to learn that it’s one of the club’s freshly hired bouncers, and that his name appears to be Jack, however nobody could tell more about him. Our reporters attempted to approach this mysterious man for an interview, however the only response Jack offered before promptly leaving was a polite “No, thank you”. It appears that this excellent citizen also has modesty to add to his growing list of virtues and merits.

We may not know much about him, but we certainly know that we feel much safer going out to party when men like him are working to ensure it. Thank you, Jack!

Metal Artists to Release Pop Rock Love Song Albums
By Rick Role

MÄNTICORE and pop rock love songs. It might sound strange to use them in the same sentence together but there’s a high likelihood that it will soon be a regular occurrence. An inside source at Pride Records has informed us that the rumors are true: side albums are being produced featuring two of MÄNTICORE's own, and neither album is expected to fall into the metal or hard rock genre.

Genos, the lead singer of MÄNTICORE, and Roy Mustang the newly instated lead guitarist, have been seen walking in and out of recording studios to perform songs they've been writing for these side projects. The songs for these albums have been described as mostly pop rock and mostly love ballads, something closer to the material we would have expected from Flashstep. It’s anyone’s guess what inspired the two rock stars to write so many love songs but more importantly were the results any good?

We were sent a preview of a couple tracks from each of the two albums. Here’s what we thought:

[As the video stream begins Tamara appears in a fairly casual dress with a shawl (granted her hair is still done well and her makeup is flawless on camera) she's casual, but not 'appear without makeup with her notoriously crazy hair loose' casual. Her laptop is parked near the piano in the penthouse and her mood is relaxed and generous to her fans. After all the craziness of the past couple weeks with Pride and the recent firings, she felt she owed the fans (and herself) something calming. She takes a sip out her cup of tea and begins, regal and warm as royalty and a mother should be.]

Hello there members and servants of the Court of Thorns and old fans of mine, welcome to my Q and A session. If you're curious about what tea I'm drinking today, it's rooibos and citrus green.

I know many of you are curious about behind the scene things with Crown of Thorns and possibly what I do off the keys. So shoot. There are almost no stupid questions.
