Leng Tch'e - Part Ways With Drummer
Belgian grinders Leng Tch'e have made the following announcement:
"Last week's tour was awesome and therefore we'd like to give mad props to all the guys in Immolation, Krisiun and Dawn Of Azazel plus the whole Massive Music crew for being excellent professionals and genuinely nice people.
On a lesser note, the drama continues as Svencho decided to quit the band in order to focus on Aborted and other musical projects. We thank him for the years invested in Leng Tch'e and wish him luck in his future endeavors. However, this will definitely not be the end of the band since we feel that "Marasmus" is our strongest record to date and therefore we will continue on our path of mayhem and destruction. Interested drummers can send their applications to nicolas@razorgrind.com."

Arkona - New Album 'Ot Serdca K Nebu' In Progress
"Arkona" are now recording their fourth album "Ot Serdca k Nebu" ("From the Heart to the Sky"), maybe the most epic and majestic album in their career.
The band has already recorded the drum tracks.
Vlad Sokolov (Drummer): "This time we did the drum tracks in "Gigant-records" studio (Zemfira, Kipelov, Zapreshyonnie Barabanshiki, Tracktor Bowling...). We didn't want to use triggers for this album and recorded the clean acoustic drum signal. All the drum tracks were recorded on a rare DW set with a unique microphone park in 5 hours, almost everytime, from the first take. For now this is my best work..."
As always, Masha "Scream" and Sergei "Lazar" are producing the CD.
Masha "Scream" Arhipova (Vocals, Music and Lyrics):
"The new songs are totally one with my present mood and world view.
There are no more "happy" songs like "Maslenitsa" or "Viydu Ya Na Volyushku". This album will be far more epic and dark.
Best folk musicians of Russia and Belarus will take part in the recording process, as well as friends from other bands. Their names will be announced later."
The band will continue recording "Ot Serdca k Nebu" in June at CDM Records/Moscow sound.

Skyfire - Parts Ways With Singer, Announced Replacement
The following message was posted on Skyfire's Myspace page:
"We've gotten many e-mails and questions over the last few years regarding the status of Skyfire and now it's time to give you an official update.
As some of you may know, our brother Henrik, who has been with us for all 3 albums and has contributed so much to the band, has chosen to leave Skyfire and concentrate on his own project Favilla. We want to stress that there are no hard feelings on either side and wish Henrik the best of luck in all his future endeavors. The band will always look back on the great times with him when he was with Skyfire.
The good news however, is that we have found an amazing replacement for Henrik in Elohim vocalist Joakim Karlsson!
We are very excited to hear his voice in Skyfire on both future recordings and on all the old classics which we are itching to play live. We're also excited to announce that Andromeda's Johan Reinholdz is officially a member of Skyfire now. Johan helped us out big-time on our tour in Spain when Jonas left and Martin had to take over on bass, so we are all extremely excited that he is now a fulltime member of the band.
Speaking of the new record, we've all been hard at work writing and demoing new material to release on a new, up and coming label and has proven to be perfect for Skyfire. We've been given the go-ahead to announce our new home soon!
We´ll start officially recording the new album as soon as possible and it will probably be mixed later this year by someone who many of you should be familiar with by now in the metal scene.
To all our fans who have been loyal and patient: Keep it up guys, it will be worth the wait. We can assure each and every one of you that this next release will be the strongest in Skyfire's history!".
The permanent lineup now stands as the following:
Joakim Karlsson (Vocals)
Martin Hanner (Bass, Keyboards)
Andreas Edlund (Guitars, Keyboards)
Johan Reinholdz (Guitars)
Joakim Jonsson (Drums)

The band will always look back on the great times with him when he was with Skyfire.
The good news however, is that we have found an amazing replacement for Henrik in Elohim vocalist Joakim Karlsson!
We are very excited to hear his voice in Skyfire on both future recordings and on all the old classics which we are itching to play live. We're also excited to announce that Andromeda's Johan Reinholdz is officially a member of Skyfire now. Johan helped us out big-time on our tour in Spain when Jonas left and Martin had to take over on bass, so we are all extremely excited that he is now a fulltime member of the band.
Speaking of the new record, we've all been hard at work writing and demoing new material to release on a new, up and coming label and has proven to be perfect for Skyfire. We've been given the go-ahead to announce our new home soon!
We´ll start officially recording the new album as soon as possible and it will probably be mixed later this year by someone who many of you should be familiar with by now in the metal scene.
To all our fans who have been loyal and patient: Keep it up guys, it will be worth the wait. We can assure each and every one of you that this next release will be the strongest in Skyfire's history!".
The permanent lineup now stands as the following:
Joakim Karlsson (Vocals)
Martin Hanner (Bass, Keyboards)
Andreas Edlund (Guitars, Keyboards)
Johan Reinholdz (Guitars)
Joakim Jonsson (Drums)

Novembers Doom - To Record Live DVD
Chicago's dark metal act Novembers Doom will be recording their first live performance DVD to be released in early 2008 through The End Records.
About the recording of the DVD, singer Paul Kuhr comments: "We chose to record at Biebob in Vosselaar, Belgium, simply because it was one of the greatest experiences we've had performing in the past. The crowd left a lasting impression on us, and we want to capture that, and share it with others on this DVD. We have been talking about recording for many years, and we always waited until the time when we could do this on our own terms, making it special for us, as well as the people who made us feel at home. Joining us for the first time is Ajattara from Finland. We're very excited they accepted the invitation, as their sound is a perfect compliment for the show. We're also being joined by old friends Thurisaz, who we have toured with in both Europe and The United States, making a special night for us even better!"
November 10th, 2007 - Biebob Club - Vosselaar, Belgium with Ajattara, Thurisaz.
The band released their latest album "The Novella Reservoir" on The End Records in February 2007.
