"Yeehaw, nevertheless it's been taken faster than expected, hasn't it? ;-)
Well, let's become a bit serious: In about four weeks we'll enter our studio to record the new DS album. We're looking forward to miss the whole summerdays again to make out the best of the songs :-) ... It's quite clear that the following working titles won't express anything to you; for us they are probably the most important names during the last two years.
Well, here we go:
01. Leadzappenduster
02. MellowTownsend
03. DeSpace DeMesche
04. Sexy
05. Psychotic Flötenwaltzsong
06. Free Of You
07. Enigma Doom
08. Elektraudich
09. Kasch Miche If You Can Count 11
10. Born To Be Done
The album will definitely be the one after "EXISTENCE", that's for sure!!! :-) If things run well the album will be released at the end of this year; otherwise you'll have to be patient until january '08. Maybe that's not enough for this moment; but sorry... we have to continue with our rehearsals!
Be prepared!
Greetings from Dark Suns"

Susperia - Drummer In Freak Accident
A message from Susperia's Management, 04/03/07
SUSPERIA DRUMMER IN FREAK ACCIDENT
OSLO, NORWAY - Norwegian rockers SUSPERIA have suffered a major setback in the run up to their forthcoming European tour with WASP later this month and the subsequent UK dates with ONSLAUGHT. The bands drummer Tjodalv has broken his ankle in a freak accident and will have to sit out the dates.
The incident happened when he slipped on a patch of ice whilst unloading his vehicle. He was immediately rushed to a local hospital where he was diagnosed with an ankle break in two places, which required an emergency operation. Shattered and dejected Tjoldav is now at home recuperating, with strict orders to rest for at least five months until the breaks heal. The band are devestated at what has happened.
SUSPERIA have however, confirmed that they will fulfill all their upcoming live commitments and have drafted in Anders Haave from Blood Red Throne as a temporary replacement for the dates.
Please help wish Tjodalv a speedy recovery!

Septic Flesh - Reunited And Working On New Album
The following press release was posted on the official Seasons Of Mist website:
"The legend says that a mythical creature named phoenix could be resurrected from its ashes. It is also says that those who carry the spirit of "burning phoenix" are unstoppable, even by the flames of an "infernal sun", as they possess the "ophidian will" to carry on, beyond all obstacles. But enough with cryptic talks and hints... Let it be known that legendary Septic Flesh have returned! Greek daemons Seth, Chris Antoniou, Sotiris V. and Fotis Benardo are back as they decided that besides their experimentation with different projects and musical paths, the path of the Flesh was not completely explored. And they have more nightmares to share...
Septic Flesh will record their sixth full length album under the flag of Season of Mist. The yet untitled album will carry all the elements that made the sound of Septic Flesh so distinctive. There will be pale, strange guitar melodies, brutal and sharp riffing, the devil behind the mic, and of course the neoclassical arrangements that are trademark of Chris Antoniou.
For that purpose alone, Chris the "gothic maestro" will torture a full orchestra and choir respectively made of 80 musicians and 32 singers! The rest of the album will be recorded and mixed on what has become the temple of the past two musical rituals of Septic Flesh. Yes, once again they have chosen to invade the famous Fredman studios, with the company of Fredrik Nordstrom.
"On winds of smoke they are singing, their calling is the calling of the free, Fly with Us" - Burning Phoenix"

Thy Majestie - Vocalist Leaves Again
Singer Dario Grillo has once again left the Italian Symphonic Power Metal band Thy Majestie.
"I won't attend the next few live shows with them and I won't record the new album," Dario writes on his web site. "I don't want to explain the reasons of the split 'cause I think nobody wants to know about bullshit, problems or controversies. I apologise to the fans who believed in the reunion and waited for another masterpiece like 'Hastings 1066', but the situation with the guys couldn't be managed in a civil way. So the main priority is Violet Sun, the new band led by singer Alessandra Amata, Alex Grillo on drums, Doctor Max on bass guitar and me the guitarist and keyboard player, producer and composer of the album. Stay tuned!!!"
