Death Angel - Working On New Album

Guitarist Rob Cavestany of Bay Area Thrash Titans Death Angel has issued the following update:

"We've been jamming out at our studio in Oakland, creating a new album which we plan to release later this year. Good vibes are flowing! Can't wait for you to feel it?

"We're pretty much going to lay low on the live shows until we get the album completed. In fact, we did not plan to do any shows at all before summer but then we got invited to play in the Philippines! 'Pulp Summer Slam Seven' takes place at Amoranto Stadium in Manila and we can't wait to hit that outdoor stage in the sizzling heat? it's gonna be insane!

"OK, maybe one or two of the summer festivals in Europe; it's torture passing those up!

"Other than that, it's all about getting that 'studio tan,' but you can bet your sweet ass that we'll be coming your way after we drop our new disc on ya? I also want to thank each and every one of you who continue to support and enjoy our music. You make us feel so warm and fuzzy."

"We've been forced to cancel our show at Gloria (in) Helsinki, Finland (on November 25th).
(Guitarist) B. Undertaker is suffering from heart infection and bronchitis and the doctor's orders where loud and clear: He must rest and take it very fucking easy.
This is something we don't wanna fuck around with and we have no choice but to cancel the show.
It's a fucked up situation, but playing the show under these circumstances is just not worth the risk. We are truly sorry for this and we hope that everyone understands the seriousness of the matter."

Production on the band's third album has already begun under the title "Cult Of Death". Release of the upcoming album has been scheduled for May, 2007.

"Scum", the first ever album by Death/Grindcore band Napalm Death is going to be re-released next year as a 20th Anniversary version. The release will contain a remastered version of the original "Scum" album and also a bonus DVD. The DVD will contain (among things) interviews with the three original Napalm Death members Nik Bullen, Mick Harris and Justin Broadrick, getting their thoughts on "Scum" getting re-released. The album is set for an early 2007 release.

Here is a comment by head of Earache Records Digby Pearson:

"...the 20th anniversary of the recording of "Scum" should be a good way to re-introduce a new generation to the legendary album that kick-started extreme music and coined the grindcore genre".
