Behemoth set title for new album
According to a posting on their website (www.behemoth.metalkings.com), BEHEMOTH have begun working on new material under the working title Demigod, due out in late 2004 through Regain Records (Europe), Century Media (North America and South America) and Mystic (Poland).
The follow-up to 2002's Zos Kia Cultus - Here And Beyond will feature the following lineup: Nergal- guitars and vocals, Inferno - drums and Seth - bass, guitars.
"2003 was probably the most hard working period in band's history," Nergal commented. "Especially the US leg of Zos Kia tour, more than 60 shows that we played, was a breaking point for Behemoth. We took a very short break after last shows, and now we focus totally on writing."
"I'm very excited about new songs" says Nergal. "We've just started working on new songs, and developing ideas and riffs I've been working on for the last few months. It's just insane, I can tell you. This new stuff is going to be so much ahead of what we've done before. We've never reached such an intense point. The working title for our seventh album is Demigod and this should tell you everything about what it will sound like. With no doubt it's gonna be the most devastating, technical and crushing record we've ever come up with! New riffs just flow, the working atmosphere is just perfect. We've got so much new inspiration lately. It will all have strong impact on what you will hear on Demigod."
Behemoth is also planning to finally complete mixing of their first official DVD.
"Well, it's highly possible that we will release long time planned DVD this year," Nergal adds. "We have some labels interested in putting it out. We have hours and hours of materials, two professionally filmed shows, video clips and tons of really extreme stuff to be featured. It's gonna be the quality, great DVD material, totally authorized by the band, unlike the shitty DVD, The Art Of Rebellion, that we consider as a bootleg release."
In other news, before Behemoth enter the studio in April, they will invade Israel and do one exclusive show for the first time ever. In March they will be playing two shows in Greece with CARPATHIAN FOREST.

Deicide First Video!
After 15 years in the business as one of the reigning heavyweight champs of death metal, Florida's legendary DEICIDE have shot their very first music video.
For this historic occasion, the band chose to immortalize the title track off their forthcoming Earache Records debut, "Scars Of The Crucifix" ? a song which brutally sums up what DEICIDE is all about.
Bone-rattling riffage, firestorm drumming, and vocals from the pit of hell combine to make "Scars" one of the most venomous anthems DEICIDE has ever recorded.
Shot in Nottingham, U.K. by acclaimed director Pete Bridgewater (THE HAUNTED, DECEMBER), the "Scars Of The Crucifix" video shows DEICIDE in rare form.
The "Scars Of The Crucifix" video is now in the post-production stages. Look for this video, coming soon to Earache.com and a TV near you.
"Scars Of The Crucifix" was recorded at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida with producer Neil Kernon (CANNIBAL CORPSE, NEVERMORE) and was mixed at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas. A February 24, 2004 release through Earache Records is expected.

Destruction - Upcoming DVD
DESTRUCTION frontman Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer recently gave the group's official web site more information about the German thrash metal band's upcoming live DVD, "Live Discharge - 20 Years Of Total Destruction".
According to Schmier, "this DVD features DESTRUCTION material from all eras including myself on vocals. The fans themselves did vote for those tunes, so we hope your favorite is not missing out. We did try to catch that energy of a thrash show rather than just recording the most perfect, clean and flawless concert. This is also one of the reasons why you will find three different events in our LIVE section . . . Together with the backstage and 'on the road' footage you will get a nice extra look behind the curtain of a DESTRUCTION show.
"This is ain't fake! We are living our music to the max and you will surely have your 'nice' entertaining moments.
"The bonus material includes our two first ever video clips: 'Desecrators' and 'The Ravenous Beast', an Australia tour special done by the OZ Metal Warriors, an intense interview - history, some leftovers from other shows (like older cuts with Sven on the drums) and of corpse some very old, glorious footage from the '80s!"

SYL: first DVD
STRAPPING YOUNG LAD will film their first-ever DVD on Friday, January 16 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, British Columbia. The as-yet-untitled disc, due later in the year through Century Media Records, will contain lots of outtake footage recorded over the past decade and is a precursor to the new STRAPPING YOUNG LAD CD, which is set to be recorded late summer.
In other news, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD mainman Devin Townsend has posted the following message on his official web site:
"I will release two website-only records in late February (the albums go to the layout place Jan 13th). These records are fun and not meant to be taken very seriously. 'Fan-only' records, but both of them are excellent and at least 72 minute long. I did the art and layout as well...(Haha!!!)
"One is 'Ass-sordid II' with all the old demos from my early bands NOISESCAPES and GREY SKIES as well as a whole whack of lost songs from the early days. A full 72-minute CD worth!
"The second album is called 'Devlab', and in a explosion I assembled together all my year-long laptop workings when I got home from the SYMPHONY X tour. I wanted to make a completely fucked record that compliments schizophrenia or flu symptoms...
"Honestly, some people will absolutely HATE it, so I don't recommend it to everyone. Just people who want to hear what a Devin Townsend 72-minute long ambient record would be like. (and even them I strongly caution)
"That being said, I LOVE it, but just so I don't kill my career, I'll only make it available through the site. There's a bit of writing in the booklets as well. Just descriptions and ramblings. Lots of pretentious shit...either you like it or you don't... If not, buy MESHUGGAH, OPETH, DIMMU, and WEEN instead. They fucking RULE!"
