Several of your who hazarded guesses got this week's logo right. The band is Voids of Vomit, an Italian old-school death metal outfit currently comprised of lead vomiter C.O. Vomit, bassist and vomiter V.Vomit, guitarist M. Putrid and drummer T. Dirty. The nausea-inducing band formed in 2003 after the demise of Mass Cremation. According to their promo material, the band was heavily into substance abuse and "mental problems and drum addiction of some members cause lack of rehearsals. VOV play under disastrous effects of any kind of substances exclusively."
Over time, they blew fewer and fewer chunks in terms of quality, and by 2005 they were playing shows with Wasteform, Vomit Remnants and Godless Truth. While Voids of Vomit took off much of 2005, they got back together in 2006 and recorded a demo Rehearsal Vomit 2006, which came out in February 2007 on The Threshold Creations and featured "Gorepipe," "Walls of Hallucination" and "Bones Around Us."
Still largely dormant, Voids of Vomit got together on March 15 to play at the Demonic Nuclear Oblivion show with Blasphemophager and Mefetic. Check out their MySpace page, but heed their warning: "If you are into gore-grind crap, don't add us."
Having recently finished touring North America with Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth are now gearing up for this year's round of summer festivals. And when those are over, the band will take some well-deserved time off before diving back into the writing studio to work on the follow-up to the incendiary disc The Apostasy.
That means no more U.S. appearances until at least 2009, however there'll still be plenty of new Behemoth coming your way. First the band's going to release a live album from The Apostasy tour, then soon after, Behemoth will drop a new EP on Metal Blade, the band's first release for its new label.
During our podcast interview with Behemoth frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski, we talked about the recent tour with Dimmu Borgir, the new studio EP and live album, the possibility of a live DVD, keeping partying under control and the trouble Nergal caused onstage in Poland by tearing up a Bible.

Both of these groups have been slotted into the metalcore scene, largely against their will and have released three proper studio albums -- though
Unearth are hard at work on their fourth. Oh, and both are fronted by a guy named Trevor; Unearth's singer is Trevor Phipps and
The Black Dahlia Murder's frontman is Trevor Strnad. Also, they both rock pretty hard and neither like melodic vocals too much. The question is, which rocks harder.
