Today marks the end of our month long fundraiser for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

Our trip to Tennessee has been delayed by 3 weeks so our label could finish some studio construction and equipment upgrades. We are now going to be in Tennessee from April 13th to April 19th.

It should be released this Summer worldwide. When we return from Tennessee we will be playing a show for the US Marines in Yuma, AZ so if your in the area check it out.

Hey all you metal masters. Exciting things have been happening in the Attackhead camp. First off we got signed to Twisted Hillbilly Records. We are all very happy about the deal and look forward to working with the crew at TH soon. We plan on going to Tennessee in March to re-record Voices in the Dark. The CD will have a new song on it and all new artwork. It will be much more brutal than the original and will hopefully be out in early summer. Next don't forget about our Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America fundraiser happening the entire month of February. We are donating 50% of all CD sales and $1.00 for every new follower on our Twitter page (up to $200). We have lowered the price of the CD to $10.00 so it is even more affordable. Our Twitter address is www.twitter.com/Attackhead.

One last thing, we are going to be the artist of the month at Pirate Rock Radio so if you got a minute go over to their site and check our what they have to offer. They are at www.piraterockradio.com

Southern California thrash metal band Attackhead recently picked up an endorsement from Cocaine Energy Drink. Cocaine Energy Drink is a product of Redux Beverages LLC out of Murrieta, CA. Redux Beverages also makes Brawndo The Thirst Mutilator, the worlds first carbonated sports/energy hybrid. Redux Beverages LLC is co-owned by Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory, Arkaea).

Attackhead’s Mark Chapman said “It is an honor to be working with a company like Redux Beverages. Their product is unique and very “Metal”. Raymond is very responsive and great to work with. We look forward to our future together.”

Attackhead is described as Skull crushing heavy metal with an old school Edge. The band was founded in late 2002 by lead guitarist and singer Mark Chapman. After numerous personnel changes the band was complete with George Portoulas on guitar, Steve Cordero on drums and Robert Johnsen on Bass. The band is located in the San Bernardino area of Southern California. USA

Attackhead self-released its full length debut CD titled “Voices in the dark” in early 2008. Attackhead’s musical influences are old school heavy metal such as Testament, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, to name a few.

Well Happy New year to all the Attackhead rivet heads and gutter dogs out there. A lot has happened since November when I last posted. Steve Cordero and Christian Bargados have decided to leave the band. Steve found he did not have the time to commit to the band anymore and Christian went back to Argentina for a while. We were very sad to lose both Steve and Chris and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors. But the good news is we have found a new bass player and are working on a new drummer. I will put out all the new member info very soon so you can see our latest additions. If all goes well we should be out and gigging within the next couple of months. We will most likely start our assault with Vegas in the spring and will play a show for the men and women of the US Army in July. Keep an eye out for a show in your area. Also check out our new review in the reviews section from Lior Stein of Metalexpress radio. Thrash on!

Well we shot the performance footage for our new "Waste of Life" music video on Saturday Aug 16th and it went great. The filming was done at an abandoned Christian camp in the San Bernardino mountains that was destroyed by a mudslide on Christmas day, 2003. 14 people died during the mudslide. I have put together and posted a "making of" video in the video section so check that out as soon as possible. The storyline footage for the video should be done this week and hopefully the video will be out by the end of the month. The interview with Street Blast radio went great and you can hear it in the interview section. We covered a lot of ground and many secrets were revealed so be sure to listen to it.

We are prepping for our show on Sept 6th and will be debuting 2 new songs, Rebirth and Possessed. Both songs kick ass and keep up the Attackhead tradition. Keep an eye on the gig section for new shows in your area.

The first way is to send an E-mail to Attackheadmusic@aol.com Attn: Riot Squad. In this E-mail include your name, mailing address and E-mail. You can also tell us something about yourself if you want, your favorite Attackhead song or anything else you want to say. The second way is through the Postal service.

All the CD artwork is being done by Chris Sexton of Wacky Shack designs out of Orange County, CA. The artwork is one of a kind and is sure to make an impression. Remember Cuffed and Chained, Pleasure is Pain.

12-11-07

Well we just finished 4 days in the studio and have several more days of recording left with about a week of editing and mixing after that but so far everything is sounding awesome. We are recording at Blue Dragon Studios in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Our engineer is Wil Frey who owns the studio. Wil is great to work with and is a wiz at Pro Tools. If all goes according to schedule the new CD should be out shortly after the new year. It will be available on line and also at our shows so don't miss out on this one it will definitely be a keeper.

12-02-07   

Attackhead has been playing a lot of shows over the last couple of months but for the month of December our main goal is to get the CD finished and out on the streets. We have added a couple of new songs which will be on the disc and there is certainly no shortage of shred and mayhem. We have already booked our first show for the new year at Friar Tucks in Pomona. The show is on January 11th with our friends Neurotoxin and it's FREE. It should be an awesome show and we hope to see you all there. I will send out the word when the CD is available. After the recording I am at the mercy of the replicators so hopefully by the show at Friar Tucks it will be out but we will see. Stay metal and we'll see you all soon.

09-30-07

All our recent shows have been great and we would like to thank you all for supporting us. We are on a regular gig schedule now so keep an eye of the upcoming shows section. We are entering the recording studio ( a professional one this time) on 12-06 to begin work on our 10 song CD which if all goes well should be available shortly after the new year. Once the CD is out we will be having a release party (location to be determined) and you will be able to purchase the disk worldwide via the internet. Stay tuned for future updates. Metal rules.

08-13-07

Well things have finally settled down at the Attackhead camp. The big news is that Ben Clor is no longer with Attackhead. He went his separate way and we wish him all the best. We replaced him with our old guitar player Chris Bargados. Chris played bass for many years before switching to guitar so he had no problem taking on his new role. To fill Chris's shoes we recruited guitarist George Portoulas from Substance A. He has caught on rather quickly and we are hoping to make our debut with the new line-up on Sept. 15th at the Tropics Lounge. We have several new songs that are even more technical than before so come check it out. As soon as the gig is confirmed I will post it in the Upcoming shows section. Also we never went in the recording studio due to the problems we were having but plan to record a full length CD within the next couple of months. Thanks to everyone for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the shows.

04-17-07

Attackhead will be entering the recording studio in May to record a 10 song CD which will be available throughout the US and Europe hopefully by mid-summer. Our last recording session ended without a finished product. We have found a new recording studio and a professional engineer for the upcoming project. Once the CD is completed we will be back on the road to promote the new CD. Check back often for updated news. Hope to see you out there.
