We just got signed on a new label named Ascendance Records for Europe. Under license, "In A Flesh Aquarium" will finally be available all across the European territory for the first time. The initial 2,000 copies of the album will be presented in a limited edition double CD slipcase, the bonus CD featuring the "We, Invaders" EP and a completely exclusive instrumental track.

?and don't forget that we still need your support to win the title of Best Metal Album Of The Year at the GAMIQ awards 2007. You have until August 31 to vote on this website.
On another note, Chaoth is now endorsed by Eden Cabs and Amps. ...and there's a couple more shows that were added.

Montreal's rambunctious and truly unique act Unexpect have successfully found a new violinist to join the band.

In an update posted on their website, they say: "Hello friends, un-friends, mammals and human beings in general?This announcement is based on a structural assemblage of words, necessary tool when you dwell into the theme known as: communication. Today we welcome warmly a new member into the ranks!

Let's give a round of applauses and trace some well deserved parallelograms in the air for our new official violin player, a brilliant music manipulator named Blaise. His talent will undoubtedly contribute to the developing mutation of our music.

Here are the links to his personal MySpace page & another of his musical projects:

See you soon on the roaddddddddddddddd?"

Montreal's act Unexpect has posted the following update:

"After ten years of enjoyable companionship, we now officially announce that our violinist, le bateleur, will be leaving Unexpect for good. We'll always keep strong ties with him but it seems that extensive touring don't fit well with his future life plans. We wish him the best and hope he'll get the most out of life !

Thanks Charles?"

Unexpect is so looking for a replacement. Candidates should :

* absolutely be devoid of any criminal records
* have some stage experience
* be ready to tour extensively
* be musically open minded ( obviously )
* have a nice and well groomed moustache
* forget about that last statement

For those interested, just contact our manager, FIX, at this phone number or email?he'll fill you in on the procedures?:
