British doomsters ORANGE GOBLIN have announced that, due to various circumstances, there will be no new album from the band for the foreseeable future.

APOCALYPTICA, PRONG, ELECTRIC WIZARD, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY and ORANGE GOBLIN are among the artists who will be featured on a new Metal Hammer compilation album paying homage to the masters of heavy metal, BLACK SABBATH.

Atlanta, Georgia's "psych metal" band ZOROASTER has entered Living Room Studios (MASTODON, THE BLACK LIPS) in the band's hometown to begin recording its new album, "Matador", for a July release via E1 Music.
