Samuel Arkan and Renaut Van Oeyen, the two guitarists of Virus IV, have issued the short following update on their MySpace blog:

"We have started to work on the second album of Virus IV. It will be stronger and so unexpected, we are back in our metal roots and way of composing. Wait and stay tuned!"

Hi Infected Metalheads,

I decided to have one more guitarist for the future plans of VIRUS IV, 'cause the musical direction of the next album needs it !

So, I asked Renaut to take his main instrument back, 'cause he is a very good 7 strings player, we know each other very well, did lots of gigs together with guitars... and the choice is two guitars for more headbangs !!

Therefore the band welcomes a new member, bass player Christophe Babin (Eradicate, Headline). A great and talented musician who will share stages with VIRUS IV during next gigs.

So be prepared to shout loud in front of the stages !!!

More pics soon...

SAM (Virus IV)

Van Records has reissued the third album from disbanded German black metallers Nagelfar called "Virus West".
According to a press release: "Virus West is by far the most aggressive and powerful piece of music ever released by the band, leaving the shores of melancholy and reverie behind and setting sails for harsh and wrathful fields of either fast or energetic mid-tempo tunes. The production of the album was once again taken over by Andy Classen (Belphegor, Dew Scented) within the walls of the famous Stage One studio, which means that the sound of the compositions will rearrange your entire anatomy."

"Virus West" was released in 2001, and had the following tracklisting:

01 - Hellebarn (Light Barn)
02 - Sturm Der Katharsis (Storm Of Catharsis)
03 - Hetzjagd In Palästina (Agitation In Palestine)
04 - Westwall (Western Wall)
05 - Fäden Des Schicksals" (Threads Of Fate)
06 - Protokoll Einer Folter (Protocol Of Torture)
07 - Meuterei (Mutiny)

Nagelfar (not to be confused with the Swedish Naglfar) were a German progressive black metal band.
The band was founded in 1993 by Zorn and Rhyktius V. Grhabakk von Meilenwald. After a long search for a lead vocalist, Smaug was selected; Svein von Hackenberg became acquainted with Smaug and Rhyktius at a party and entered the band's lineup as bassist in 1995. In autumn 1995, Smaug was replaced by Jander, and Garvin joined as session keyboardist. This lineup recorded the band's first demo, Als die Tore sich öffnen ("As The Gates Open"); their second demo, Jagd ("Hunt"), followed the next year before the band secured a contract with Kettenhund Records.
In 1997, the band's first album, Hünengrab im Herbst, appeared; a split EP with Dark Embrace, contraining the track "Nur ein See" ("Only One Lake") followed the same year. In 1998, Svein von Hackenberg departed for personal reasons; he was replaced by Chaos. The production of Srontgorrth, a concept album, was marred by turmoil, resulting in the departure of Jander before all the vocal tracks had been recorded.
Zingultus was Jander's replacement, and Chaos left the band shortly after the completion of Srontgorrth. In 2001, Virus West appeared; in April 2002, the band broke up for unspecified reasons.
