It's only been 6 months since Damascus Steel was released, but the band are currently finishing the recording of a new MCD titled "In the name of God, Welcome to Planet Genocide".

The current tracklisting is as follows:

1. Psalm 364
2. My Beautiful Genocide
3. A Baptism in the Warm Piss of Slaughtered Children
4. The Man Who Killed For God
5. Hell on Earth / Blood Runs Red (Discharge cover medley)
6. Aborted Stygian Foetus

Metatron says:

"The concept of genocide on this release is a conclusion to the 'Damasus Steel' album (2005) and will continue the blood letting and artery severing lyrics in preparation for the next album to be titled 'The Passion and Death of Ieosus'. This will be a concept album detailing the life and feath of the Jewish Rabbi, Yeshua - his humanity, zealot connections, arrest and crucifixion and his ultimate deification by the lies and growth of the Holy Roman Empire (which itself was a grotesque chil of the Roman Empire whose inhumanity is reflected in today's world.) No change there then!"

The MCD has an initial release date of June on Firestorm Records, but more details will follow soon.
