The person dies twice.
The first death is a loss of the life.
The second death is a vanishing from all people's memories.

why?things burn : Physical Items

from CD Baby notes: Your flowers/ My SOUL...

This album is the most personal to date for Rj. Paul Raven passed away too young in October 2007.”Your flowers my Soul” is about letting go of a true friend and…more than that, a brother. The track “Thank You”, sang with Rj’s unique vocal style and in his native tongue represents being thankful to his friends and remaining honest to himself and to all who have surrounded him in the past few years and thus bringing it all together with a twist of fate in which life and death have come together in a nicely wrapped gesture. You cannot fake fate.

Before we did these f**king sessions, all I thought about was trying to find an engineer who could handle Killing Joke for one f**king year, while we do gigs as well as record. Now who can possibly do that? And it's only then that I realised that the only candidates worthy of such a task are clearly in the nutcase bracket of engineers. Only complete f**king nutters can handle that task at hand psychologically! Don't f**king laugh at me! I'm telling you the truth! The only person who was up for that task was Jerry Kandiah. He worked with us (as engineer) on the 2003 'Killing Joke' album.

antiMusic.com: False Icons - GodComplex Review

Skope Magazine:
FALSE ICONS READY TO RELEASE DEBUT ON 11/11/08

November 5, 2008

False Icons, whose debut CD, “God Complex”, will be released on Al Jourgensen’s 13th Planet Records on November 11th. The CD was mixed and produced by Jourgensen and combines elegantly layered keyboards, heavy guitars, deep bass, and sophisticated atmospheric touches and weaves together electronica and industrial rock.

False Icons was formed by Industrial rock veteran John Bechdel, who went from playing organ in the family funeral home as a young man to recording and touring the world for over twenty years as a keyboardist and programmer with an impressive array of seminal artists including Ministry, Fear Factory, Prong, Killing Joke, Murder Inc. and Ascension of the Watchers.

THE WEIRD MACHINE OF TREPONEM PAL PLUGGED ITSELF TO LISTENABLE

TREPONEM PAL release their new album 'Weird machine' to LISTENABLE records in Europe on the 24th of March.
With several cult albums critically and internationally acclaimed under its belt, a pioneer's career and various punchy collaborations (Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, Prong, Ministry, Faith No More...), the Parisian precursor of groovy industrial-metal carbonizes the record industry with a new lp mixed with napalm. Recorded in Geneva, produced by David Weber and written by Marco Neves (vocals, development), Didier B. (keyboards, samplers), Polak (guitars) and the late Paul Raven (eminent bass player of Killing Joke, Godflesh, Pigface, Murder Inc ., Prong, Ministry), the ballistic missile plans to collide our boomers in April 2008.
Industrially toxic, metallic, electronic, ethnic, electric, psychedelic, hypnotic and always more eclectic, Treponem Pal signs with this noxious "Weird Machine" a proper declaration of war. A urban time bomb of a manifesto, pure weapon of massive destruction and distraction seriously dangerous and open minded. A sonic stream roller to check on stage during the European tour, already planned this year.

Reunited TREPONEM PAL To Release 'Weird Machine' In March

===================================================
from Wikipedia: Treponem Pal

Treponem Pal is returning with a new album, due in March 2008, entitled "Weird Machine". The album features Ted Parsons (from Swans and Prong) on drums and Paul Raven (from Killing Joke, Ministry and Prong) on bass, though tragically Raven suffered heart failure and died while collaborating with the band. The album combines their earlier ultra-aggresive sound with more "rock" pieces as well as some "industrial ballads".

PAUL RAVEN Memorial Concert Planned In April - Mar. 20, 2008

Saturday, April 12 will see a special gig at he Bridge House 2 in London remembering with fondness Paul Raven, bassist from KILLING JOKE, MINISTRY, PRONG, etc., who died in October of last year.

The special lineup features three bands that all have a close association with Paul — and none more so than GUNDOGS, who feature Paul's brother Dan on bass. Dan said of the event, "I hope that this show and the love that underpins its spirit, will be loud enough to reach Paul at the right hand of God. He would be proud to see so many of his great friends come together in this way."

Also featuring on the bill are OCTOBER FILE, who many will have seen on recent KILLING JOKE tours, and HEADCOUNT, who had their 2004 album "Die Monkey Die" produced by Paul.

HEADCOUNT singer Rob Moss said of Paul, "What better way to remember Paul than an evening of floor to floor rock n roll. He'd have been first up there, kicking it up!" Steve Beatty of OCTOBER FILE added, "We shall endeavor to honour and salute Paul as best and as fitting as we can. We hope he is attending in spirit."

[OT] Meshuggah USA tour

from BLABBERMOUTH.NET: MESHUGGAH Explains Calgary Show Cancellation

Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH have issued the following update:

"Ahhh, not so awesome beginning of the C U LaTouR [with MINISTRY and HEMLOCK]! We just wanna say we're sorry [to] you guys who came out to the Calgary show especially!

"The routing/distances for this tour was insane for the first couple shows and us being stuck at the U.S/Canada border for a few hours meant we didn't make it in time for the Calgary show!

"For the first Vancouver show at the Croatian culture center — same thing! Too far a drive to actually make it in time, so everything was way delayed which in turn meant that we had to cut the set real short! Three songs!! How's that for a MESHUGGAH set!!? Kinda embarrasing, but things were out of our hands!! We were there in time but the semi with all the stage gear was very late and with a 11 p.m curfew....

"Basically, the start of this tour was just routed insanely and as for the rest of the tour, we shouldn't run into these issues.

"So again, we apologize to those of you who came out to the shows to see us, only to find we didn't play or as for the Vancouver show — only played for 15 minutes!"


MESHUGGAH's latest album, "obZen" sold 11,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 59 on The Billboard 200 chart. This is substantially more than the 7,000 first-week total achieved by its predecessor, "Catch 33", which landed at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart back in June 2005.

Vive Le Punk! - Jaz Coleman Interview

from Vive Le Punk!: KILLING JOKE

VLP: Had there been any sign his health was bad?

"I knew he’d had heart flutters for a few years, he used to tell me about them, he couldn’t lay flat on a bed because he’d get heart palpitations, so he used to sleep sitting up. You know, musicians don’t live as long as other people. Not always.”

VLP: Did you already know Raven before he joined?

“Sure, he was good friends with Youth,”

VLP: So what will Killing Joke’s next move be?

“Well, definitely two new recordings for us to do, and concerts. There’s a big demand for the original line-up, but that wouldn’t really play the later records so I’m gonna end up with two Killing Jokes! Benny, Geordie and me for one, and Youth and Big Paul and Geordie for another.

VLP: So Youth and Big Paul are definitely up for it then?

"Yeah, they want to do it. I’m aiming for the film, the book, and intense touring for our 30th anniversary, to raise money for Paul’s children."

Killing Joke's Paul Raven makes a posthumous appearance on the collection, helping out on the record before suddenly passing away late last year. Bell remembered the man he called a "pirate."

Burton C Bell On Passing Of Paul Raven [Video Link*]

"He was a pirate, a true pirate, and he lived like a pirate to his last day. It's gonna catch up with ya. I love the guy, and I miss him."

Bell's bandmate in Ascension Of The Watchers is John Bechdel, who spent time with Raven in Killing Joke and a few other projects. Bell will also join Al Jourgensen onstage for the songs he performed on Cover Up for Ministry's last tour called the C U LaTour. The trek begins Tuesday, March 25, at the Big Easy in Spokane, Washington.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM GUNDOGS !!!

****OFFICIAL STATEMENT****
FROM GUNDOGS
FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION


It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of the iconic & legendary Paul Raven, who is the brother of our very own bass player Dan Raven.

Paul is best known as bassist for MINISTRY, KILLING JOKE & PRONG.
He was found yesterday morning (Saturday, October 20) in a private home in a small French village on the Swiss border after what we believe to be an apparent heart attack.
Paul was in Geneva working with TREPONEM PAL alongside drummer Ted Parsons (PRONG) and members of THE YOUNG GODS.

GUNDOGS would all like to express their heartfelt sympathies to Paul's friends & family, and to our own "brother" Dan.
"Dan...We are all here for you and your family. we love you bro!"

Our gigs last night in Glasgow at the Barfly and tonight's (Sunday, October 21) appearance at the Academy 2 in Liverpool have been postponed for obvious reasons.

We hope anyone travelling to the concerts understands, appreciates and respects our decision to postpone the shows.

Paul will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him....a true legend has been lost but will never be forgotten.
We will be accepting messages of condolences on our my space page which we will pass on to Paul's family directly

"God Bless Paul"

LOVE ALWAYS

Bird, Chris, Maria, Dan xxxxxxxxxxx

Product Description (Plastichead.com):

Ascension Of The Watchers is a solo project of Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) that he started in 2002 with John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Fear Factory, Ministry, False Icons). The music of AOTW is nothing like Fear Factory but orchestral in nature; where layers of sounds create a texture that is hypnotic, rhythmic, and melodic. “Since the inception of this project, these are the sounds that resonate through my mind; these are the words that echo throughout my subconscious” (Burton C. Bell).

New Raven Colors - Sunday, February 10, 2008

Paul really liked the original white background the first run of the Ravens had, he loved the silver boxed models, too... but he always wanted something to really POP. Something that would match the promo postcard we printed up for NAMM last year. So FINALLY we're able to add some coloring to take the look of the unit to a whole new level.

Rest in peace my friend

When we heard the news of Paul Ravens passing this weekend it was as if all of us had been kicked in the gut. I personally was not prepared for such overwhelming grief.
Having worked closely with Paul over the last year and a half we can not begin to express our profound sadness. We grew a bond based in creativity but grounded in the business world, and watching Raven weave the two was a joy. As many have said over the weekend he was one of the good ones. A Rock N Roll pirate, a freedom fighter, a creative spirit that will not be stopped.

We send our best wishes to Paul's friends, family, and most importantly to his children.

Treponem Pal - New Album This Spring

from Treponem Pal myspace:

2008, the "Weird Machine" panzer is signed on Listenable Records (Gojira).
With several inflammatory albums critically and internationally acclaimed under its belt, a pioneer's career, various punchy and solid alliances ( Young Gods) and a number of first class invitations on international tours (alongside Nine Inch Nails, Prong, Ministry, Faith No More and Godflesh), the Parisian precursor of groovy industrial metal beats carbonizes its era with a new lp mixed with napalm.
Recorded in Geneva, coproduced by David Weber, Marco Neves (vocals, development), Didier B. (keyboards, samplers) and Polak (guitars), composed by those three band members and featuring very special guests, the late Paul Raven (eminent bass player of Killing Joke, Godflesh, Pigface, Prong, Ministry) and Ted Parsons (Swans, Prong, Jesu), the ballistic missile plans to crash into our boomers in April 2008.
Industrially toxic, metallic, electronic, ethnic, electric, psychedelic and always more eclectic, Treponem Pal signs with this noxious "Weird Machine" a proper declaration of war. A urban time bomb of a manifesto, pure weapon of massive destruction and distraction seriously dangerous and severely open minded.
A sonic stream roller to check on stage during the European tour, already planned this year.

Ministry - UK Dates Announced

from BLABBERMOUTH.NET: MINISTRY: UK Dates Announced

According to Metal Hammer, MINISTRY will play the following UK dates in May/June:

May 27 - London Kentish Town Forum
May 28 - Norwich Waterfont
May 29 - Manchester Academy
May 30 - Glasgow Academy
Jun. 01 - Bristol Academy
Jun. 02 - Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall

The valedictory line-up will include PRONG frontman Tommy Victor on guitar, alongside fellow guitarist Sin Quirin, as well as PRONG drummer Aaron Rossi, while various guest musicians will also be appearing.

There will, however, be one noticeable absence on the tour, that of long-term MINISTRY collaborator and former KILLING JOKE bassist Paul Raven, who passed away unexpectedly in October last year. "Dude," sighs mainman Al Jourgensen, "we were just going over some of the last tours and some of the concert footage, and I just tried to block it out of my mind. That fucking pirate dude. The thing I keep waiting for is he's such a lazy pothead, that fuck, is that he's not even dead, he's just so stoned he doesn't know he's alive, and he's too lazy to get up and get a fucking job."
