This crazy logo is all Greek to us. Actually, these guys aren't from Greece, Norway or anywhere else in Europe. They're from the good ol USA -- Boston, Massachusetts to be more precise. And they play a style of storming thrash metal that's reminiscent of Possessed, Dark Angel and early Kreator.

Here are your choices:

a) Xoxiicoloiausx b) Oxichotoyaus c) Great White d) Toxic Holocaust

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has spoken out about the band's upcoming album, which he says will be the group's best record in 15 years. In an interview with Austrian Web site Krone.at -- which was translated into English by Blabbermouth.net -- the guitarist added that for the first time since 1988's ...And Justice For All, Metallica are bolting the doors and coming up with some brutal thrash riffs.

"It's our eleventh studio album, but it feels like our sixth," Hammett said. "It's just a really spectacular range of songs. This time we're not afraid to refer to our past music in order to create future music. People will see that we've kind of embraced our old vocabulary again and are using that vocabulary to express new things. I'm super excited to make this album, finish it and release it — 'cause then we can go out and play it to the people. We might have stretched our cores a little too much in the last fifteen years, but we've always came back to what we originally are and have been. I think with this album we're definitely going a little more back into our roots."

The yet untitled disc will include "a lot of really, really fast songs, [and] a whole lot of really heavy stuff," Hammett said. "There are some songs on that album that are so fast, that [frontman] James [Hetfield] and I kinda look at each other and go, 'Ouch! Our wrist are gonna fall off.'"

Also, the band are no longer down-tuning their instruments as they have on their past few offerings. Instead, they're returning to the higher tuning they used on their first five albums. "Because we've done that, James' voice sounds more like it did in the '80s than it did in the '90s," Hammett said. "There's a lot of changes that we've made, but I believe that they are all for the better."

For the complete Q&A with Hammett, look no further.

And look no further for Metallica at their thrashiest; here's the vid for "Whiplash":

One of the heaviest and most consistent extreme metal bands, Cephalic Carnage delivers album number five with zero concessions to anything popular or trendy. Xenosapian (Relapse) is a brutal manifesto of nonconformity and rage delivered through the artistic lens of skilled musicians who know as much about jazz and prog-rock as grindcore and death metal. Yet somehow, even with all the impossible time signatures and unearthly rhythm shifts, the music isn't the least bit alienating, as witnessed by insanely enjoyable and crushing trakcs like "Endless Cycle of Violence" "Divination and Volition" and "Touched by an Angel."

Autumn - - My New Time (Metal Blade) Another chick-fronted European gothic metal band, Autumn write catchy pop songs glazed with buzzing, downtuned guitars and sturdy rock beats. Comparisons to Evanescence and Lacuna Coil are, perhaps, inevitable, but these Dutch musicians are unabashed about their commercial influences and don't feel the need to embellish their songs with harrowing howls. Energy, not anger fuels the tracks, which should appeal to fans of upfront melodies well-crafted harmonies, and swirling keyboards. Autumn should be bigger than Linkin Park.

Circa Survive -- On Letting Go (Equal Vision) Featuring ex-Saosin singer Anthony Green and emo guitarist Colin Frangicetto (ex-This Day Forward), Circa Survive play elliptical, progressive rock/metal in the vein of Coheed and Cambria. The band's second album, On Letting Go, is more developed and free-spirited than their 2005 debut Juturna, combining high, melodramatic vocals, guitars that chime as often as they rip and syncopated drumming into a multifaceted, enthralling journey. Dream Theater who?

"Silence of the Lambs" was one of the best, most intelligently constructed thriller/horror films of the last 2o years. "Hannibal," which followed a decade later, was an equally grisly and suspenseful, but not nearly as smart. Even the third Hannibal Lecter movie, "Red Dragon," had its moments for fans of serial killer flix. However, viewers who check out "Hannibal Rising" (Genius) expecting another Anthony Hopkins as scholarly slasher will be disappointed.

But those looking for a terse, intriguing story with some choice moments of savagery should enjoy the prequel to the Lecter saga. "Hannibal Rising" is a film about the trauma and pain that scarred Lecter, destroying his emotions and amplifying his rage until he became a cold-blooded cannibal.

Lecter starts out at age eight after his parents are killed in World War II. He and his sister survive the violence, but when a group of Nazi soldiers discover the house they're in, the Krauts move in, and, facing starvation, decide to eat Lecter's beloved sibling. Hannibal flees becoming the second course and bounces from an orphanage to the home of his late uncle's widow. As he ages, he becomes a top student in medical school, where he learns all about the human body and how to destroy it. At around aged 20, he vows revenge against those who made a meal out of sis, and embarks of a killing spree, during which he develops a taste for Nazi flesh.

While many of the goriest killings are implied rather than shown, director Peter Webber does a great job of building tension throughout the film, which features a bunch of no-name actors, all of whom deliver.

The unrated version of the film isn't any more horrific than the original, though it's about 10 minutes longer. The DVD features deleted scenes with optional commentary, a documentary short "Hannibal Lecter: The Origin of Evil," a short called "Designer Horror and Elegance" with Production Designer Allan Starski and commentary by Webber and Producer Martha De Laurentiis.

Above the Law (Genius) The plot involves a corrupt judicial system that frees the crime bosses who killed an innocent family, and the maverick prosecutor who pursues the mob with his own form of vigilante justice. Sure the story's full of holes and the acting isn't exactly award-winning, but that's besides the point. This is an action-filled martial arts extravaganza that will elevate the pulse of the comatose. Originally releasd in 1986, "Above the Law" stars Hong Kong film master Yuen Biao in one of his most insane roles and the destruction and on-screen combat still holds up today, rivalling most anything featuring Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung.

Apocalypto (Buena Vista/Touchstone) In the time of the Mayans, a young man is brutally torn from his home by invaders that round up members of neighboring tribes and sacrifice them to the gods. Driven by a powerful love for his girlfriend and family, he escapes his captors and struggles to return to his home and the life he cherishes. While this Mel Gibson movie is extremely brutal - -full of murder, rape and torture -- much of the violence is more poetic than shocking and the cinematography is breathtaking. Considering Gibson's stance on religion and recent skirmishes with the liberal left, it's sort of ironic that he would helm a movie that celebrates the dignity of a non-Christian tribe, but he did it, and with marvelous results. Check your politics at the door.

The Call of Cthulhu (Microcinema) For those who didn't know "The Call of Cthulhu" is more than just a killer Metallica instrumental, it's a great short story from early 1900s horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. And now it's also a stunning modern silent film that could have been shot in the golden age of cinema. Director Andrew Leman and cinematographer David Robertson have recaptured the look and feel of early Hollywood with stunning sets, stop-motion animation and digital reconstruction, then used these elements to create a scary monster movie with a haunting symphonic score. Even a Metallica soundtrack couldn't have topped this.

Defenceless (Subversive) Another silent film, but this one doesn't strive to look like something from a bygone era. Instead, director Mark Savage uses arresting imagery, unsettling sonics and an artsy presentation to deliver a gripping and brutal story about sadism and revenge. The violence starts off when a women refuses to sell her property to land developers, so they kill her husband and lesbian lover, then rape and murder her as well. Unfortunately for the bad guys retribution is more powerful than death, and the woman rises from the grave to extract an eye for an eye. While the plot may sound somewhat like "I Spit on Your Grave," this is like nothing you've ever seen before.

Check out this shot of experimental death metal band, The Red Chord, paying homage to King Diamond and Scandinavian black metal by digging out out the face paint and getting all demonic.

Before you get all indignant and call them something nasty for making fun of the "evil ones," keep in mind that The Red Chord love black metal. They even invited Sigh frontman Mirai Kawashima to perform guest vocals on their upcoming disc Prey For Eyes, which comes out July 24.

The album will also feature special appearances by Job For a Cowboy singer Jonny Davy and Converge bassist Nate Newton.

The band chose the title Prey For Eyes based on a bizarre story frontman Guy Kozowyk heard from his brother, who's a prison guard. "[One day he] walks in on an inmate doing something ridiculous in his cell," Kozowyk said. "The prisoner won't talk and gets into this dialog via a notepad. After documenting that he can no longer talk because the devil removed his tongue, my brother checks the con's mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely intact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message 'Pray for Eyes.'"

And if that doesn't completely confuse you, here's the video for "Blue Line Cretin":

The new video for Sworn Enemy's "All I Have" will premiere on Headbangers Ball this week. The clip was directed by Frankie Nasso in 2005. The song appears on the band's second album The Beginning of the End, which came out in January 2006.

While they're still plugging that album, they're already working on their next. Early this month the band entered the studio with producers Tim Lambesis (who also sings for As I Lay Dying) and Joey Z (guitarist for Life of Agony) to start recording their third album, Maniacal.

"This record is going to be a monster," guitarist Lorenzo Antonucci said in a statement. "We're very excited to be working withTim again, and Joey Z. is one of our favorite guitar players, [so] it's a honor to be working next to him."

Here's Sworn Enemy's other video from The Beginning of the End, "Scared of the Unknown":

The envelope please...

The readers of Modern Drummer magazine have elected Chris Adler from Lamb of God as the #1 drummer of the year in the "Metal" category in the magazine's 2007 Readers' Poll, which is in the July issue.

Adler edged out Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner, who came in at #2. Meshuggah's Tomas Haake took the #3 slot, Slayer's Dave Lombardo placed #4 and Trivium's Travis Smith placed at #5.

Lamb of God were nominated in the "Best Metal Performance" category at the 49th annual Grammy Awards, but lost out to Slayer. The band's latest record, Sacrament, has sold over 200,000 copies in the U.S. Look for Lamb of God before Ozzy Osbourne at this year's Ozzfest.

Check out Adler's bad-ass drumming in the video for "Now You've Got Something to Die For":

The correct answer to yesterday's scribbly, unreadable logo of the day is c) Enthral.

The band came together in the summer of 1995 when two Norwegians, vocalist and drummer Kjetil Hektoen and guitarist Gunnhild Bratset, discovered the shared a mutual interest in dark music and ancient times. They started rehearsing in their hometown on Sunndalsøra but didn't get serious until the end of the year when they moved to Oslo and started working on their demo with bassist Thomas Kjørnes. "Demo 1996" was distributed mostly among friends, but gave the band its start.

In August 2006 Enthral recorded a song at Hov Studio at Sunndalsøra, and were so pleased with the result that tehy contacted Hot Records, which included the track, "Awaiting the Rise of the Forestgod," on the 1997 Hot Records compilation CD The Rape of the Holy Trinity, which also featured Dimmu Borgir, Covenant, Dødheimsgard and Old Man's Child.

Enthral then hired an ew bassist, Martin Rafoss, and started working on their debut album, Propheciies of the Dying, which was recorded in just four days at Stovner R.F studio in May 1997 and includes the tracks "Salig er den som Lir", and "Prophecies of the Dying...."(parts I and II).

After recording the album, Enthral secured a second guitarist, Espen Simonsen and keyboardist Stian Aarstad (ex-Dimmu Borgir). Then the band re-entered the studio to record the follow up to Prophecies of the Dying.

The Mirrors Opposite End, which includes the raging "When the Sky Touched the Earth" and the pensive "In Passion Swept," came out in 1998. The music was diverse -- a colorful hybrid of black metal, doom metal, classic metal, folk music and atmospheric rock -- and the lyrics were more evocative than those of many bands of the era.

In 2002, Enthral signed with the Dutch label Displeased Records and released their third album, the duskier, more atmospheric Subterranean Movement, in 2003. The next year Hektoen played on Crest of Darkness' Evil Knows Evil. Currently, Enthral again consists of just Hektoen and Bratset and are currently without a label. However, the 2006 demo tracks "Celebration of Agony," "Death to you All" and "A Spiteful Dirge" is available for streaming.
