Trail of Dead finishing up next album
Sixth album set for in January; EP due in October
NEW YORK -- ... And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead is putt the finishing touches on its sixth album in New York with producer Chris Coady. The album is imputable in January via the band's possess Richter Scale label through the Universal-distributed Justice Records.
An EP, "Festival Time," will precede the album in October. In addition to the title track, it will have an unconventional cover of the Replacements' "Within Your Reach" as well as the instrumental "The Betrayal of Roger Caseman and the Irish Brigade" and the dark-skinned, riffy "Bells of Creation," which will appear on the record album in a different form.
During a break from mixture, group members Conrad Keely and Jason Reece aforesaid they feel revitalized later on exiting Interscope, which released three of the group's albums betwixt 2002-06.
In fact, Keely says he doesn't consider the band's major-label swansong, 2006's "So Divided," to be a proper Trail of Dead album. "It was almost like an practice in different pastiches," he said. "We allowed ourselves to be really relieve with the material. We didn't say no to any ideas. For it being that kind of record, it exceeded my expectations. But it wasn't in the tradition of our making of records, where we have a concept and we're going away to be really ambitious with it."
To that end, Trail of Dead this time around parted shipway with longtime producer Mike McCarthy and teamed with Coady, wHO has worked closely with acts such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Foals and Grizzly Bear.
The material previewed for Billboard is indeed more hard-hitting than on the past deuce Interscope albums, with "Inland Sea" construction from a measured, midtempo rocker to a furious instrumental finish and the snappy "Fields of Coal" conjuring an inspirational chorus that Reece says reminds him of the Summer Olypmics. Another untitled caterpillar track is fast and no-see-um, with an Unwound-style feedback barrage.
"On the last two albums, we were in truth meticulous recording to click-tracks and doing overdubs," Keely said. "This time, we threw all that out. We erudite the songs and all tracked live."
Trail of Dead isn't planning to spell until early next year, but on Monday at New York's Santos' Party House, Keely and Reece will perform as a two-piece for the first base time in a decade. "We have no idea what we're going to play," Keely said with a laugh. "Maybe we'll just haschisch out some old disagreements from high school."

Inflammation And Immunologic Symposium Explores New Research In Chronic Diseases
�For the first clock time in the United States, more than 200 scientists from round the world will gather to explore research challenging conventional theories about immunology, inflammation and their link to acuate and continuing diseases. The Damage Associated Molecular Pattern Molecules (DAMPs) and Alarmins Symposium will be held at the Hillman Cancer Center, 5115 Centre Ave., Pittsburgh, Aug. 30 through Sept. 2.
DAMPs and alarmins ar the molecules in the body that promote healing after events such as heart attacks, strokes and car accidents. According to Michael Lotze, M.D., conductor of Strategic Partnerships for the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and co-director of the symposium, they promote a sterile inflammation that comes from inner cells.
"At this dot, it is well-understood that continuous inflammation is also linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, creaky arthritis and most cancers, particularly those occurring in adults," aforementioned Dr. Lotze. "In the past, the prevailing scientific notion was that pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs, cause excitement by activation the immune system when pathogens such as viruses, parasites, fungi and bacteria invade the body. This type of immune response occurs in the setting of infection. At this symposium, scientists will present research linking the DAMPs inflammatory response to chronic diseases, including arthritis, corpulency, atherosclerosis and cancer."
According to Dr. Lotze, electric current theories of inflammation ar based on the notion that excitement is caused by forces outside the body, such as pathogens, while the DAMPs theory of lighting suggests that it arises internally from the body's very cells.
The symposium, which includes oral and poster presentations, brings together world-renowned researchers from across the globe, including:
-Marco Bianchi, M.D., of the H. San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milano, Italy, a former conference director who start demonstrated the link of HMGB1 with necrosis
- Polly Matzinger, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, proponent of the Danger Theory of Immunity world Health Organization first coined DAMPs
-Ruslan Medzhitov, M.D., of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Yale University, the keynote lecturer who ascertained the signal molecules knotty in responding to PAMPs
-Shigekazu Nagata, Ph.D., of the Graduate School of Medicine at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan, world Health Organization identified many of the signaling events important in inflammation and immunity, including interferons and the response to DNA
-Jeffrey L. Platt, M.D., of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, booster of the role of innate resistance in transplanting and cancer
-Jean-Marc Reichhart, Ph.D., of the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Strasbourg, France, world Health Organization explores ancient responses in fruit flies to harm
-Anna Rubartelli, M.D., director of the Cell Biology Laboratory in Genova, Italy, who has discerned how biology is turned top side down when inside cellular contents come outside the cell and who, along with Drs. Lotze and Helena Harris from Sweden, co-directs the symposium
The symposium is sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Center for Continuing Education in the Health Sciences, the Society of Innate Immunity, the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies, the National Cancer Institute, the Office of Orphan Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, the International Society for Biologic Therapy of Cancer and the Society of Leukocyte Biology.

'Incredible Hulk' set to smash boxoffice
'The Happening' also opens wide this weekend
|
Universal bows a much-eyed Marvel remake of "The Incredible Hulk," while Fox unspools M. Night Shyamalan's sci-fi horror film "The Happening." No one is going to fall asleep watching either one, and their combined take should keep the recently reinvigorated summer boxoffice lively.
Prerelease tracking shows that "Hulk" should open comfortably north of $40 million and "Happening" could happen upon $25 million or so. Such performances would help shape a Father's Day weekend capable of besting the $141 million in industry grosses rung up during the comparable frame a year ago, when "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" bowed with $58.1 million amid light competition.
At least one industry analyst -- Drew Crum of the Stifel Nicolaus investment firm -- projects an opening weekend for "Hulk" of up to $60 million. But that forecast looks substantially overheated compared with the consensus estimate.
Most industryites suggest that even a $50 million bow would represent an incredible haul for Universal and Marvel. After all, this was a film greenlighted amid broad skepticism over the merits of a "Hulk" remake.
Produced for an estimated $150 million, the effects-laden film follows the attempt by Universal to bring the Marvel character to the big screen via June 2003's simply titled "Hulk." Despite opening with $62.1 million, the Ang Lee-helmed first "Hulk" sunk like a rock over subsequent frames and was widely dissed as a critical and commercial failure after ringing up a total of $132.2 million domestically.
So though the remake likely will open more modestly, Universal executives hope it will show much sturdier legs than the original and reinvigorate fanboy interest in the franchise. Early critical reaction has been positive.
"We're looking for a solid opening, but it's important that we take a look at what the final domestic version is before we make any comparisons with the film that was made five years ago," Universal distribution president Nikki Rocco said. "Marvel did a wonderful job addressing any problems that fans may have had with the last film."
Complaints with the first "Hulk" primarily involved its dark tone as well as grumbling over visual effects. Louis Leterrier ("The Transporter") helmed the remake, with Edward Norton replacing Eric Bana in the title role.
"The Hulk is the most popular, the most beloved of all Marvel characters," Universal chairman Marc Shmuger said. "Marvel has reinvented the movie in such a way that it can really connect with its fan base and also cross over into a broader audience. That's a big plus for the company and for the Marvel brand."
If the PG-13 film's boisterously positive reception at its Sunday premiere is any gauge, the green lug might be back on his way to Franchiseville. For now, suffice to say that pre-release interest has prompted exhibitors to schedule a smattering of midnight Thursday showtimes in larger markets, always a good sign.
Shyamalan's recent track record at the boxoffice has been similarly checkered, featuring a disappointing $18 million bow for "Lady in the Water" in July 2006 and the impressive $50.7 million debut for "The Village" in July 2004.
Considering that, Fox executives believe it's a good sign that audience awareness for the R-rated "Happening" is decent for all four polling quadrants, covering younger and older males and females. Yet must-see sentiment appears a tad modest for the Mark Wahlberg starrer.
A $50 million production co-financed by UTV Motion Pictures, "Happening" would be well-served to draw reviews lauding a return to form for the helmer after the critical drubbing of "Lady." Early reviews haven't been auspicious in that regard, but execs predict that word-of-mouth will be strong regardless.
Still, a likely $30 million-plus second frame for the Paramount-distributed "Kung Fu Panda," from DreamWorks Animation, means "Happening" likely will land in third place for the session when all the dust settles.
