BURY YOUR DEAD CHALLENGES FANS ON X-BOX LIVE

Get your Torque Bows and Scorchers locked and loaded, Bury Your Dead is about to get brutal on X-Box Live. This infamous fivesome is challenging one and all to a vicious game of Gears of War 2 using the gamer tag BURYYOURDEAD555. The guys will be playing via X-Box Live every night starting tonight, June 2nd through June 11th at 11pm EST so grab your Hammers of Dawn and put your game face on.

In honor of their brand new album, It’s Nothing Personal, BURY YOUR DEAD is giving away free copies to those gamers who can beat them at this most ferocious of games. The band has been honing their Gears skills while out on the road with Disturbed and Killswitch Engage over the last two months and have full confidence that they cannot be beaten. However, if you can rise to the challenge and claim the victory, check back to BURY YOUR DEAD’s MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/buryyourdead) the morning after your match for information on how to claim your copy of It’s Nothing Personal.

Be sure to check out BURY YOUR DEAD as they come through your city with Static-X and stay tuned for a very special tour announcement later this week. The band will also be hosting an episode of MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball on Saturday, June 20th; look for the premiere of their brand new video for “Hurting Not Helping” that night!

And remember, when BURY YOUR DEAD kicks your ass at Gears, It’s Nothing Personal.

WRETCHED’s “BLOODIEST VIDEO EVER” ON HEADBANGER’S BALL THIS WEEKEND

Even MTV2 couldn’t resist getting their hands on WRETCHED’s frightening new video for “A Preservation of Immorality”; it will be airing for the first time on television THIS SATURDAY on MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball. The video has been given the much deserved title of the Bloodiest Video Ever and holds true to that name with a twisted storyline, explicit images and, of course, tons and tons of blood. Gore, disgust and horror don’t even begin to describe this metal onslaught, so be sure to tune in at 2AM EST/3AM CST and decide for yourself. Wondering how a video like this was made? Check out all of the behind-the-scenes footage at BloodiestMusicVideoEver.com.

WRETCHED will be hitting the road with Kill Whitney Dead on a 6 week national run, playing “A Preservation of Immorality” and other pummeling tracks from their new record The Exodus of Autonomy, which is in stores now.
