...Jerusalem Resurrection Foretold? Jews were familiar with the tale of a messiah rising from the dead after three days years before Jesus' birth, according to a new interpretation of a 1st century B.C. stone tablet.

In December, the band signed on new lead vocalist Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer whom they found leading a Manila cover band.
