Summon: Invocation has finally arrived. The reimagining of Bloody Panda's downtuned doom-riff destruction and the icy-demonic screams of Yoshiko Ohara by names like Matmos, Mick Barr, Portal, Sanford Parker and many others, will finally be released in full for FREE DOWNLOAD via the band.

To cap off our series of interviews with bands that contributed to the Bloody Panda remix, we sat down with G. Stuart Dahlquist and Edgemont Martin currently of Bird Eye and ASVA respectively, but formerly of the titanic doom gods Burning Witch. The pair collaborated on a remix of "Gold" for the LP, and their pairing marks the first time that the two have collaborated since the dissolution of that doom juggernaut. Burning Witch recently announced a 4xLP box set for Southern Lord, which is on preorder NOW.

In our final interview we asked Dahlquist/Martin about their involvement in the remix, and the possibility of a return of Burning Witch. Check that, and their remix of "Gold" below.

Due October 28th on Level Plane, Rusted Eyes Awake features guest throat by Jonny Davy (Job For A Cowboy) and Antony Hamalainen (Nightrage) and is the follow-up to this year's awesome split with Scarecrow (mems Repulsion, Noothgrush, Dekapitator, Exhumed). Check out "Bile Towers" available for download above!

Toxic Holocaust has posted four songs from their vicious new rabid dog, An Overdose Of Death (due Sept 2nd on Relapse). Check out "Gravelord", "War Is Hell", and "Endless Armageddon" at their myspace and download the ravenous "Wild Dogs" above! The band is currently working on a video for "Wild Dogs", we'll let you know when that drops.

Jesu will drop the Why Are We Not Perfect? EP which is the Jesu part of their recent split with Eluvium with some added bonus tracks. Look for that on August 19th via Hydra Head. Jesu recently dropped their split with Battle Of Mice on Robotic Empire.

In what has to be a first, Black Sabbath (or, in this case Heaven & Hell) have apologized for NOT playing their hit "Neon Knights" at both NY area Metal Masters shows. In related Metal Masters news, Testament has been added to the NYC date of the previously mentioned Children Of Bodom, Between The Buried and Me, and (now official) The Black Dahlia Murder tour.
