Forgotten Tomb - Update From The Band
Exclusive news was posted on the Italian Doom Metal band's website:
Herr Morbid entered the german Dark Metal legends Bethlehem as the new guitar player!! This is the announcement, directly from the Official Bethlehem MySpace: "We proudly present our new guitarist known as "Herr Morbid" of Forgotten Tomb. Bartsch and Morbid soon will start writing a new Bethlehem longplayer for 2008 which more will follow the dark path again, containing some more sick and disturbing ideas like once done on the 90s albums. All other informations who else will play on this record are given to a later date and arent relevant yet. First we have to collect some song ideas, so please dont bother bout possible vocal rumours or other useless things spred around in the underground at the moment. Thank you." Be prepared!!!
After the successful gigs in Finland, the band is ready to hit the road again. October the 13th will see the 4 bastards invading Spain for the first time, headlining the second day of the "Satan Lives Fest II" (see flyer on the right). Spanish fanatics, don't miss this gig!! Visit the Tour-section for more details.
New album of the band will be tentatively titled "Under Saturn Retrograde", and it will include something like 7 or 8 songs. As recently reported by Herr Morbid, 5 songs have been already written, and the general sound of the album has been defined "Extremely obscure and uncompromising. The people who talked shit about us because of 'Negative Megalomania' will have to eat their shit back, 100% guaranteed." . The album should be recorded in Spring 2008, and released in Summer/Autumn 2008, most probably still on Avantgarde Music.
The band is still organizing gigs all around Europe, so if you're a professional organizer and you want to book the band for 1 or more gigs, now you can write at this new address: NOSPAMbooking@forgottentomb.com (remove NOSPAM before writing).
1 new gig confirmed for January 2008. The band will join Hate-Grindcore legends Cripple Bastards for a special show in Torino, Italy. More details in the Tour section.

Forgotten Tomb - Boycotted In Germany
The following statement was posted by frontman Herr Morbid on Forgotten Tomb's official homepage:
"It looks like the german media (in particular: Legacy Magazine) are trying to boycott Forgotten Tomb without reserve. Not only they refused to interview the band and review "Negative Megalomania", but they refused to include the advertisement for our new album in their fucking magazines too. The nazi-paranoia going on in the german Metal scene is nothing new, but I think this time they're really going beyond any reasonable measure. Starting from the idea that ALL Black Metal bands are automatically Nazi and basing their paranoia on completely unreliable sources, these magazines are trying to boycott our band in every possible way. It seems like the band won't be able to play live-shows in Germany too, due to this fucking Anti-FT Propaganda.
After explaining the band's point of view on such topics in the clearest way possible, it seems like those people are still ignoring the fact that FT can't be labelled as a "Nazi" band. So, with this post, we're asking to all our german fans to boycott the german Metal magazines, since they're trying to boycott our band.
I think all this story is completely pathetic, especially when I see Legacy Magazine putting up Type O Negative's Peter Steele on the front-cover of their current issue (all german Metalheads will remember the controversial battle of Peter Steele against the german media and left-winged activists in the middle of '90s, due to the same reasons that led me to write this post).
So, if you support our band, boycott those fucking magazines. We know most of the magazines get money from the national Publishers Associations to be printed, and that's probably the real reason why all this mess happened. They fear that covering a "suspected Nazi" band, they could have problems from the government and lose money, heh.
We don't care if our fans are right-winged, left-winged, anarchists or whatever, FT is an unpolitical band and we don't care about people's personal political belief, unlike the german media.
Thanx for support to all our german fans! We'll be back in Germany with a vengeance, promised."
