Formed in 1997, Italian band Graveworm were signed to a record deal off of the strength of their live performances before they had ever even recorded a demo. Their sound is epic, synth-laden symphonic black metal in the vein of Dimmu Borgir or Cradle of Filth. Sarah Jezebel Deva from Cradle of Filth even appeared as a guest vocalist on the track “Awake, Thy Angels of Sorrow” from the band’s 1998 EP Underneath the Crescent Moon. Graveworm has released eight studio albums to date and continue to grow their following through extensive touring and festival appearances.

This week’s Black Metal Friday spotlights the official video for Graveworm’s track “I, The Machine” from their 2005 album (N)Utopia.

Neill Blomkamp talked a little bit about his planned Alien film during the Chappie press tour, saying that he wants to make it a “genetic sibling.” Confirming that his film is indeed part of the Alien canon, the District 9 director said that it goes “Alien, Aliens, and then this film.” According to him and star Sigourney Weaver, the new chapter in the Alien franchise would give Ripley’s story a proper ending. These comments led to the speculation that his film would ignore Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection.

While that “proper ending” would lead some to believe that it would undo the last two films of the Alien franchise, Blomkamp clarified his previous comments, saying that he’s “not trying to undo Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection” and said that his goals are to “make a film that’s connected to Alien and Aliens.” Hit the jump for more.
