Rebellion - Three Members Leave The Band
There is some bad news from the Rebellion camp: guitarist Uwe Lulis (ex-Grave Digger) has decided to quit the German heavy/power metal band. Furthermore, also drummer Gerd Lücking and guitarist Simone Wenzel have announced their departure.
Uwe Lulis stated: "Rebellion was also my band and I would be pleased if bassist Tomi Göttlich (ex-Grave Digger) and vocalist Michael Seifert will continue successfully".
The situation of Rebellion is thus extremely difficult, and the two remaining members are now deliberating whether and how they are going to carry on with the band.
Commented Tomi Göttlich: "We ask ourselves whether Rebellion without Uwe can still be Rebellion. On the other hand a band always depends on their fans, so we would be pleased if our fans told us their opinion about it."
Micha added: "Tomi and I wish Uwe, Gerd and Simone honestly all the best with their new projects."
Gerd and Uwe will be forming a new band, and Simone has in the meantime joined Vernissage.

Kaoteon - Ink Deal With Osmose Productions
Kaoteon are proud to announce they've signed with renowned extreme metal label Osmose Productions. The official press release reads as follows:
"Forged in the Middle East where terror and war never rest; the Lebanese extreme black/death metal band Kaoteon brings forth their first full-length record with Osmose Productions to blast your ears and damage your minds. This kaotik opus is titled Veni Vidi Vomui, which translates to "I came, I saw, I vomited".
Veni Vidi Vomui was recorded and mixed inside the bullet-scarred walls of Beirut at Mixdown Studios, while the mastering was done by no other than the infamous Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity, Katatonia, etc.).
Kaoteon's full-length is a statement of anger and disgust towards civil wars, terrorism, invasions, sectarianism, and deceit. These themes are dissected throughout their lyrics to project Lebanon's daily life.
Several bands wrote about the ripping political and religious instability in the middle east but Kaoteon lives it to this day. From shrieks, low grunts, and high-pitched vocals to fast and mind blowing blasts, this is a not to miss record for every extreme metal fan that enjoy uncompromising metal riffs. This is going to be an unmatched statement of hatred. Zero tolerance."
The release date for Veni Vidi Vomui is set for February 21st, 2011. One of the tracks to appear on the record, called "One By One (Dogs Heed The Call)" is already available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Khors - Set To Release New Album, New Track Online
Original news, posted on 18.12.2010
Paragon Records is proud to announce the release of Return To Abandoned, the long-awaited new full-length from Ukrainian black metal horde Khors.
The official press release adds that, on Return To Abandoned Khors yield harsher, brooding sounds of their earlier work whilst mixing in the melancholy and spacious atmosphere of 2008's unsung dark black gem Mysticism. Inarguably the most majestic journey the band has taken its listeners on thus far, Return To Abandoned will appeal to old and new fans alike.
Khors was formed by former Astrofaes bassist, Khorus, in August 2004, with an aim to create gloomy, powerful, atmospheric black metal. Sometime later, guitarist/vocalist Helg (Runes Of Dianceht) and drummer Khaoth (Tessaract, ex-Astrofaes, ex-Hate Forest) joined the fold. The band was later rounded out by guitarist Warth. Contrary to rumors, Khors is not attached to any politically motivated groups or extremists.
Earlier this Fall, Paragon reissued The Flames Of Eternity's Decline and Cold, Khors' now classic first two full-lengths - originally released in 2005 and 2006 respectively - as a two-CD set with new layout, nine bonus tracks and a rare early video from the band.
Return To Abandoned cover art] tracklist:
01. The Arrival (Intro)
02. Lost Threads
03. Asgard's Shining
04. Song of the Void
05. The Fog (...and Grief Still Moans)
06. Mysteries Cosmos
07. The Seas Burn of Omnipotence
08. Sacrament of Buyan
UPDATE
Noisecreep is currently streaming "Sacrament Of Buyan," one of the new songs off Khors' latest full-length, Return To Abandoned. Point you browser here to check it out.
