VOMITORY bass player/growler, Erik Rundqvist, announces his departure from the vocal duties in the band, continuing to play bass only. So therefore, VOMITORY is now looking for a new growler. Erik will still do the vocals on the new VOMITORY album and he will continue in the band as the stable bass player he is!

So if you feel you are the one for the job, please get in touch with us, but if you're not 100 % serious, don't waste our time! band@vomitory.net

ARCH ENEMY - www.archenemy.net
The Swedish quintet just wrapped up a European tour alongside labelmates Nevermore and immediately headed over to the U.S. to take part in the Jagermeister tour. The trek, featuring the almighty Slayer and Hatebreed, kicked off this past week and will run through November 29th. Ranking in at #6 on Billboard's New Artist Chart, #15 on Billboard's Top Independent Chart and #26 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, ARCH ENEMY's newest offering, Anthems Of Rebellion, has been taking the metal underground by storm and is easily their most dynamic, aggressive and cohesive effort to date. Their new video for "We Will Rise" is currently in heavy rotation on Fuse's Uranium and MTV2's Headbanger's Ball and is a featured download on MTV's website. The track also appears on the Headbanger's Ball double disc CD set comprised of 40 tracks of other groundbreaking artists.

Following the Jagermeister tour the group will head back to the U.K. for a string of headlining dates leading to the end of the year. ARCH ENEMY plan to head back to the U.S. in mid-2004 to continue their onslaught.
