Margin of Error – What You Are About to Witness

Conceived within that darkness that is Cleveland, OH, Margin of Error began just five years ago and since then has released not one but two releases thus far. Their first debut entitled “Destroy. Create. Repeat.”(2008) then one year later their follow-up “What You Are About to Witness” came about.

This concept driven release is based upon the thoughts of a serial killer and what the process is behind it all. So with such brutality lying within there is absolutely no boundaries to this album, because it’s apocalyptic sound captives the listener from start to finish. Like take the title track this has brutality written all over it the heavy thunder of the guitars with screeching vocal chords makes the music shiver.

Whereas “We Are the End”, brings the music to a standstill doing a complete flip flop if you will because the music is more mellow but consists of a little heaviness every so often but remains to that mellow up and down tone of beat. “Your Life in Playback”, manages to combine the two previous tracks mentioned, it captures the mellowness while clashing the heaviness into it, blending an overdramatic sensation of music that brings to mind, Motionless in White meets Suicide Silence.

 Margin of Error is the new breed of what deathcore and brutality music is all about and if you aren’t a follower then you should be, because these guys have what it takes and have no remorse for those who doubt them. 

Gravity Interactive Tag Teams with Warp Portal's Gaming Interprise

Gravity Interactive along with Warp Portal are portals of fantasy, mystery, and the unknown but mix all of these together you end up with a community of fun filled games you can play for countless hours on end. For instance Ragnarok Online is an RPG where you take the side of good and fight against all things evil.

While an assortment of other RPG's available fall within that same category i.e. ROSE, Dragon Saga, and soon to be released Eternal Destiny. All of these consist of that fantasy freestyle of entering a world unlike never before, fighting off various demons, monsters, and fire breathing dragons. It's all in good fun yet very exciting. But the RPG world isn't all that walks amongst this interactive dimension, some other fun filled games includes Freestyle that takes teamwork, rivalry, and way of the street basketball style. While Crime Craft puts the detective side of you to work and Requiem scares the daylights out of you.

So Gravity Interactive as well as Warp Portal provides a wide variety of games to choose from, now all you really need to do is pick the one that's right for you! Now get gaming!

Vamplets are the Babies of the Undead

Welcome to Gloomvania the town that stays up long into the dead of night... literally. G-Ra is the artist behind these demonic creatures of the night, known as Vamplets. But what is a Vamplet? Well to put it this way, there born every day of the year still not sinking in? Well Vamplets are baby vampires!

Which brings us back to Gloomvania, this is the home base for these little creatures and it’s the website that showcases all there is to do in their little town. There's a town hall where you will fill out the Vamplet's birth certificate or in this case deathcertificate. The nursery is where all the Vamplets await and where you'll find out everything you'll need to know about them, Evilyn Nocturna, Burton Creepson Jr., Count Vlad Von Gloom, Midnight Mori, Cadaveson Nightshade, and Lily Rose Shadowlyn, each coming with their own take on what they like and what they like to do.

Besides those areas there is also the funeral parlor where you can customize your own coffin and tombstone. The hall of horrors is similar to what the nursery had to offer it decrypts in what each baby is all about. The blog and forums is where all the talk is tossed about on where, what, why, who, and how is discussed about these little bloodsuckers. Aside from that the store they offer provides various items ranging from the Vamplets themselves to t-shirts with such saying’s as "Caution: I Bite," "I Am Bad," "Got Blood" and "Rotten to the Core". The shirts made for men and women in all various sizes from small to extra large.

Vamplets can be found online and at a handful of shops since their whereabouts are underground; these little demons will only come out only in the dead of night.

Josh and Zac Leave Paramore

Paramore have issued an official statement concerning Josh and Zac leaving the band.

Over the past 6 years, our band has been through some of the most intense and incredible experiences of our lives. None of these things have been without trial. We've worked so hard to get to where we are and the fact that you are all still here with us says something about you that we will never be able to truly understand. You have stuck with us through thick and thin and we are so grateful. A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn't here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere. But we never for a second thought about leaving any of this behind. We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together. You have always been what keeps us going so why would we stop now? We want to stick by you. Knowing that we have a unified passion and a clear vision makes us feel stronger than ever.

The "blog" that was posted regarding everything that is going on with our band was a fake. We aren't sure who did it or why... And we aren't sure how they timed it this way. This is the first time that we have spoken out about what's going on and we wouldn't have released an official statement that important through a personal blog. So, we're sorry for any confusion and just to remain clear, this is the first time we have spoken out about this.

We have some amazing things lined up for next year starting with our tour in South America. We are still coming to you and we are excited about who we are bringing with us! The tour is still on and we can't wait to see you all.

As we look back, and now as we look with excitement to the future, in all of this what truly matters are the good times. The pictures of us with our arms around each other, the long van rides, your faces while you sing along as we play. Thank you for getting us right here to this very moment. We look forward to our best times. And we hope you will go there with us.

Love,
Hayley, Jeremy & Taylor
Paramore

The clip was filmed on October 8 at Koko in London, England and follows mainman Sam Carter through a series of beautifully shot scenes that culminates with a gigantic performance scene that is bound to ignite much interest in the band from those yet to experience its monstrous stage show.

The "Day In Day Out" digital single was released in September via all digital platforms.

Commented Sam Carter: "'Day In Day Out' is our first single and will also be the opening track and the perfect introduction to our new album. Lyrically, it touches on a running theme through the album which is basically our lives and the way we lead them. We spend a lot of time away from home to do what we do and it doesn't always feel like it’s worth it. The song is questioning what we do, but it is also very positive and is about keeping your head up even when things aren't going your way.

"Parts of our new record will definitely surprise some people, but I think this song has more familiar aspects of 'Hollow Crown' whilst still showing glimpses of where we've taken our song writing on the new record."

DESTRUCTION: New Song Available For Streaming

"The Price", a brand new song from German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION, is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the group's new album, "Day Of Reckoning", which will be released on February 28, 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records. The first limited edition of the album will not feature the band's logo on the booklet while the vinyl version and second pressing of the CD will show a red DESTRUCTION logo on it.

Commented DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer: "First of all, 'cause I hear the hardcore fans already complaining, the DESTRUCTION skull and the butcher can be found in the illustrated booklet of 'Day Of Reckoning'.

"The last man on earth that faces the end of the world, the concept of the album had to have the most evil base with a striking eye-catching look.

"We decided to not use the classical butcher theme on the cover front this time, 'cause this album needed a malicious look with symbols that express this strong title in the most bold and simple way.

"The story line will continue through the whole cover art and booklet. Gyula, a fantastic artist and metal fan from Hungary, was a great help for us with nailing down this concept. It's not the first time we worked with him; he illustrated all our latest releases! Like the band, he breathes, lives and understands the concept of a rather socially critical band like DESTRUCTION to the bone!"

"Day Of Reckoning" is the first album to feature DESTRUCTION's new drummer Vaaver (INDUKTI, ex-UNSUN). The band stated, "Some of you may have seen him already with the band on this year's summer festivals. He is a studied musician (McGill University of Montreal) and is a Polish-Canadian citizen!"

Commented Schmier: "The new guy behind the drumkit, the hard-hitting but well-versed, six-foot-six-inch-tall animal Vaaver took his first album with us as a challenge: no other DESTRUCTION album has the fastness, the tightness and crazy doublebass and drum fills as the 'Day Of Reckoning'! That's for fuckin' sure!"

He added: "The DESTRUCTION fans can look forward to an explosive drum massacre on the upcoming record, 'Day Of Reckoning'. Vaaver delightens our sound with a unbelievable tightness, technique and speed! A true rejuvenation for the band! And most important... he fits really good on the human level — a fortunate choice! It feels great to be a real band again!"

"Day Of Reckoning" limited slipcase edition track listing:

01. The Price
02. Hate Is My Fuel
03. Armageddonizer
04. Devil’s Advocate
