A documentary that takes you into the hearts and souls of the real people who rule today's Heavy Metal recording industry.

A film by: Robert Bolger Jr.

Unlike most music documentaries 'Behind the suit and tie' will spend more time with the people behind the labels rather than the more musician-focused approach of most music documentaries.

We spoke to a slew of movers and shakers from both the indie and major labels, plus some artists and industry taste makers. Meet first hand Brian Slagel (Metal Blade Records),Doug Keogh (Roadrunner Records),Missi Callazzo (Mega-Force Records), Paul Conroy (Ferret Music), Alan Becker (Red Distribution), Al Dawson (Earache Records), Burt Goldstein (Big Daddy Distribution),Legendary Rock DJ Eddie Trunk (VH1,Q104.3/Sirrus Radio), Pat Egan (Relapse Records), Ray Harkins (Century Media),Ralph Graupner (Indevent Music), Gary Susalis (Music Choice), Ged Cook,Bryan Mechutan (Demolition Records), Lee Barrett (Ascendance Records),Adam Watson (Plastic Head Distribution), (Moshpit Tragedy Records) David Ellefson bassist (F5,Ex-Megadeth), Rob Nicholson of (Mercenary Management,bassist Ozzy)

Behind The Suit And Tie will also showcase the truth of how music industry is being affected by the downward spiral of hard CD sales and how established and new and up and coming artists must learn to adjust to these changing times.

We would like to give a big thanks to all the labels and artist that took time out of there busy scheduled to sit down with us and lend there insight towards
(Behind The Suit And Tie)

The DVD/CD package is scheduled to be released some time later this year.

New York, NY: ROADRUNNER RECORDS today announced plans to release an exclusive digital extended play (EP) soundtrack for the highly anticipated PlayStation®3 (PS3™) exclusive videogame, God of War ®III.  The EP, titled God of War®: Blood & Metal, will be released in March as a part of the God of War III® Ultimate Edition, and will feature five exclusive unreleased songs from Roadrunner artists, including KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, DREAM THEATER, TRIVIUM, OPETH and TAKING DAWN. 

 

Consumers who purchase the God of War III Ultimate Edition will receive a voucher code to download the tracks, as well as downloadable music in the form of the God of War Trilogy soundtrack.  Fans will also receive a special code to download a director’s cut of God of War: Unearthing the Legend, a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise, access to an exclusive God of War Challenge Arena environment with up to seven unique challenges, an exclusive Kratos skin, and a limited edition art book.  The  God of War III Ultimate Edition will retail for $99.99 (MSRP).

 
“I have played the previous God of War releases,” said Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones.  “To be a part of this game in any fashion is amazing!  Let the rivers flow red with blood; there is vengeance to bestow!  Bring me more new finishing blows to my enemies!"
 
“Music has always been an important part of videogames and can help bring titles to life,” said Stig Asmussen, God of War III Game Director.  “Our goal is to make God of War III a special release in all areas and this just another way to offer fans and newcomers a worthwhile experience.”
 

“This is the first time in 24 years that we've written and recorded a song for anything other than one of our own albums, so we're up for the challenge and excited to have been asked,” said Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy about recording an exclusive instrumental track for the soundtrack.

 

“When we were initially asked to write an original song for the game, we were slightly perplexed since we’ve never actually written a track for something other than a Trivium record,” said Trivium, vocalist Matt Heafy.  “But we answered the call as we are fans of the game.  Writing the song was a fun experience.  We started piecing riffs together on tour and then we really put time into the song when we got home and had the chance to go into the practice space to work on our ideas as a group. This new song captures a certain energy we've been trying to harness on record as well, as it will show all our fans worldwide where Trivium is heading musically in the future.”  

 

About God of War III:

The final chapter of the million unit-selling franchise, God of War III puts players at the center of carnage and destruction as they take the role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos on his quest for revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. In this single-player game, Kratos treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell once more to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on Greek mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus. 

 

God of War III is developed by Sony Computer Entertainment’s Santa Monica Studios and is scheduled to release in March 2010.  For more information, please visit the official game website at www.godofwar.com.

In This Moment will be entering the studio in mid-February to begin recording their new album with producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch) with plans for a summer release through Century Media. For now, the band themselves offered the following statement on their 2010 plans:
“First things first…….Thank you to all our friends/fans/family that came out and supported us on our first headlining tour, we have been on a crazy roller coaster ride since 2006 and we owe it all to you, thank you! We are going into 2010 with a recharged spirit and a whole new attitude…..at the moment we are still writing songs for our 3rd album and we are really happy with what we have so far, the plan is to start recording in mid February with Kevin Churko and have everything done by June in time for a summer release.
We have some really exciting summer tour plans that we cant wait to tell you about really soon. As far as direction for the new album everyone in the band is feeling a heavier/ darker vibe, We want the lush production and melodic layers from the “The Dream” with the raw power and aggression from “Beautiful Tragedy” all mixed together…we are the kind of band that musically does what we want, from the heart, we do not follow trends or fads, the new ITM album will be no exception, we are writing from our heart and I can promise you what you hear from us next will be 100% THE REAL DEAL, no flavor of the week bullshit here.
We are counting on you, our friends/fans/family to keep spreading the word, get people excited, get everyone fired up for round 3! We wouldnt be anything without our fans! Much love and luck for 2010, heres to all your dreams becoming reality!
Sincerely
In This Moment“
