RICHARD CHRISTY Discusses Upcoming Appearance In Virginia; New AMON AMARTH Album; Halloween



Drummer Richard Christy (ex-DEATH, ICED EARTH, CONTROL DENIED) has issued the following update:

"Howdy Y'all,

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be appearing in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, September 6th at 4 PM at The Byrd Theater hosting the premier of an awesome new horror comedy movie called Lights, Camera, Dead!

I'm also appearing in the film too, I filmed a scene a few weeks ago in Brooklyn and it was a blast; plus my character gets to play drums in the film which rules! It's going to be a really cool movie, if you're a horror fan and a comedy fan you will love it!

You can get more info about the movie and the premier at LightsCameraDead.com

And for all you metalheads there's also some awesome heavy metal on the soundtrack like DARKEST HOUR! Tickets for the premier are also available at The Byrd Theater Box Office. It's gonna be a fun night and I hope to see you there!

Speaking of awesome heavy metal, I recently attended a listening party for the new AMON AMARTH album Twilight Of The Thunder God and I must say it is one of the most amazing metal albums I've ever heard in my life!

Words cannot even describe how heavy and how perfect this album is!

The singer Johan and the bass player Ted were in attendance and it was so cool to listen to the new album with them! They were super cool and it was definitely a night of pure metal mayhem!

I've posted some pictures of the listening party in the pictures section of my MySpace page if you are a metalhead like me then you must pick up this album when it comes out next month, it's definitely going to be a metal classic!

They're playing in New York in October too which I'm so psyched about! Within one week here in New York City I'm going to see Amon Amarth and then two days later I'm seeing COHEED AND CAMBRIA four nights in a row, my ears will be bleeding and I'll be loving it!

I'm finally very close to finishing the video editing for my Viking, Heavy Metal, Comedy Rock Opera - Majestic Loincloth! I'll be posting it on Youtube as soon as I'm finished and I'll definitely let everyone know when it's up there.

Halloween season is right around the corner and I'm already lighting my pumpkin candles and stringing my orange lights in my apartment! My favorite event in the world Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando is starting up soon too, I'll be going for the 12th year in a row and if you're a fan of the Halloween season and you've never been, you have to check it out! If you've been there, then you know how amazing it is! I always say that if we get to choose our own heaven when we die then I'm choosing Halloween Horror Nights to spend eternity at! I also wanna thank and send out a congratulations to my buddy Eddie Trunk who just celebrated his 25th anniversary on the radio with a party at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City where JUDAS PRIEST played a set of classic metal! It was such a fun party and a dream come true for a metalhead like me to see Judas Priest in a small club! A lot of friends where there and I had such a great time and want to give a big thanks to Eddie Trunk!

I'd also like to thank Metal Blade Records, CANNIBAL CORPSE and Denise Korycki for making me a part of the Cannibal Corpse DVD that just came out! It's an amazing DVD that documents the history of one of the greatest death metal bands ever, Cannibal Corpse. I've been a big fan of the band for years and they're really great guys and I'm so honored to be a part of their DVD! Well, that's about it for now, until next time, Happy Halloween and Stay Metal!
