Gnostic - Gnostic - New Song Online
Season Of Mist has issued the following update:
"Dear thinkers and (un)believers, the time has come to unveil a full song from Gnostic's debut "Engineering The Rule"! Download the "Sleeping Ground" track here or listen to it on our MySpace page!"
Drummer Steve Flynn comments on the song: ""Sleeping Ground" is one of the most diverse and aggressive songs on "Engineering The Rule". It has elements from thrash to death to grind, with blast beats, fast double bass, melodic polyphonic guitar harmonies, bass and drum breakdowns, screaming vocals, Latin percussion and on and on. However, despite the furious sounding nature of the song, the arrangement is quite crisp and clean with repeated thematic elements woven into the fabric of the song - culminating with bookend opening and closing riffs. "Sleeping Ground" really does a great job of embodying all that is Gnostic in one song."
More details about "Engineering The Rule" were previously reported at this location.

In Mourning - Sign With Pulverised Records
Pulverised Records has issued the following update:
"Touted as one of the best newcomers in the Swedish Metal scene, we are very ecstatic to announce that melancholic metallers In Mourning will sign a 2-album deal with Pulverised Records. The band has commenced work on their still-untitled second album and will once again enter Black Lounge Studio (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge, Steel Attack) with producer/engineer Jonas Kjellgren taking care of all production duties.
In Mourning's 2008 debut album "Shrouded Divine" naturally gained a massive amount of attention and also very positive responses worldwide with their brand of heart-wrenching melodic passages entwined with progressive elements but yet still retaining all the brutality of Death Metal aggression."
Comments label manager Roy: "When I came across their debut album, I really loved what I heard and knew that we had to have In Mourning under our roster as not many bands of this particular genre could fascinate me like how In Mourning did. It was the perfect timing when I found out that the band was just about to enter the studio to record their follow-up to "Shrouded Divine". I quickly struck a deal with them and the rest is history. We are very excited to have them on our roster and cannot wait to hear how the new album will sound like."
Comments the band: "Signing to Pulverised Records feels like a good 'next step' for the band, hopefully bringing our music out further to a broader audience. We are very pleased thatPulverised Records has given us this opportunity, and we think this will be a good collaboration. We are currently focusing hard on rehearsing and finishing up the material for our new album.Once again we will enter Black Lounge Studios with producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge). There wasn't really any doubt when we were discussing studios, as we aremore than pleased with the work he did on our previous album "Shrouded Divine". On August 22nd we will begin the recording of our new, so far untitled, album. For updates during the writing process, check our MySpace."
