Kult Ov Azazel - New Album Delayed, New Song Online
US metallers Kult Ov Azazel have issued the following update:
"The release date for "Destroying The Sacred" has been delayed until June. We were informed from Arctic Music that the North American distributor has refused to distribute the album due to the cover art. This is the not the first time we have encountered problems likes this with our releases be it the graphic or lyrical content. We have already remedied the situation with a slip insert that will go over the cover art and the only real setback is that the original release date has been pushed back.
The good news however is we have streamed a new track on the Kult Ov Azazel MySpace page. The song is "Storm The Gates" and is track 4 on the forthcoming album. We have also confirmed participation on a Venom tribute split with Teratism. This split vinyl release will be titled "In League With Satan" and released through Negativity Records with a limited run of 666 copies. We are also working on putting together a CD/DVD release to be released later in the year through Arctic Music."

Symphorce - In Writing Mode
German metallers Symphorce have posted the following update on their MySpace page:
"Hello phorceheads
Long time no news right? Well, this is about to change as we have some exciting news for you.
After we took our time to re"phorce" our batteries and think about our future we are ready more than ever to make our next album the possibly best Symphorce album ever. For a couple of months now, the songwriting core of Symphorce, Cede - Marcus - Andy , has come up with some great songs, melodies, hitwonders, chartbreakers, stripsongs, ...whatever you might wanna call it.
We just wanted to let you know, that we're still around (more actively in the background for some songwriting now), but we'll be back with a "Booom!" in mid-2009, with a new label partner, new material and some new surprises. Things you don't expect and still expect from Symphorce!
So get ready, fasten your seatbelt, get wicked and join us back here for some more news in the next couple of weeks!
Cheers and may the phorce be with you"
