Official press release

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the new album from Saint Deamon "Pandeamonium" on May 22nd in Europe and June 9th in the USA.

Named after a fictitious ghost rider called S. Deamon, and with a nod towards the contrast between the heavenly/diabolical feel of the name, the Saint Deamon was put together in 2006 by drummer Ronny Milianowicz (ex-Dionysus and songwriter for Primal Fear, Cans and Place Vendome among others), together with bass player Nobby Noberg (also ex-Dionysus), guitar virtuoso Toya Johansson and the golden voice of the Norwegian Jan Thore Grefstad (ex-Highland Glory). The band debuted in early 2008 with a stunning album "In Shadows Lost From the Brave", a record that garnered great acclaim from both critics and fans.

Saint Deamon toured extensively in support of the release during 2008, with gigs in Sweden, Norway, Austria, Italy, England and USA appearing in some of the world's finest metal festivals like Prog Power US and Bloodstock UK creating a vast buzz being one of the hardest working band in the scene.

Just over a year after the release of their debut album, Saint Deamon are back with a strong head wind in their sails with the worthy follow up "Pandeamonium". Produced by two of the world's most famous Heavy Metal producers, Roy Z (Judas Priest, Halford, Helloween, Bruce Dickinson, who also co-wrote the album's title track with the band) & Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth), "Pandeamonium" shows a well oiled Metal machine that has no limits in terms of inspiration, musical direction and focus, dedicated members or professionalism. "The chance to work with Roy was actually pure luck", explains founder and drummer Ronny Milianowicz "He had been renting our studio for 4 weeks to work with the new Wolf album and I was just there to brew some coffee, drive his equipment here and there to different recording places and to make his time in Sweden as pleasant as possible. But after 4 weeks together we became friends and I really mean friends, you know that kinda friend you can call in the middle of the night if you really need to. So one night at the local bar the night before his flight were supposed to go back he decided to stay, and this after being 4 weeks in our studio already! And with Jens we have the solid ground that never let us down and that make us perform that little extra out of every take in the studio. I hardly think we will ever work without him".

Swedish death metallers Vomitory have completed work on their seventh album, entilted "Carnage Euphoria", for a May 11 European release via Metal Blade Records (May 8 in Germany). The artwork of the album can be viewed here.

Commented drummer Tobias Gustafsson: "Carnage Euphoria" was a bit harder album to record than our predecessor, but damn, it was worth it! We are ridiculously happy with how the album turned out in the end! Engineer/producer Rikard Löfgren of Leon Music Studios did once again a killer job to get what we wanted for this album, and then some. Compared to our previous albums, "Carnage Euphoria" is a lot wider, warmer and more natural sounding-wise. But still, "Carnage Euphoria" runs you over like a steamroller, just as expected. The true Vomitoryelements are all in there, but there are also some more mid-paced groovy stuff that adds diversity to this album like never before. Even some ore melodic hooks that won't go unnoticed. Songs like "The Ravenous Dead" and "Great Deceiver" add fresh slices of flesh to the Vomitory slab, while "Rage Of Honour" and "Possessed" are rotting chunks of the relentless death metal Vomitory is known for."

To celebrate Vomitory's 20th anniversary, a limited first edition of "Carnage Euphoria" will be available with a 90-minute bonus DVD. Titled "Dead & Drunk For 20 Years", the disc will contain footage spanning the band's entire career - from the very first Vomitory show in 1990 to shows in 2008. Also featured will be one previously unreleased song, "Putrefaction", performed live in 1990, live clips from different shows during the '90s with different lineups and drunk moments on the road and in the studio. "It's all material from our own private archives, so this exclusive DVD has a certain "Cliff 'Em All" vibe to it - for good and for bad," says Tobias. "I hope you will enjoy it. We certainly do!"

"Carnage Euphoria" tracklisting:

01. The Carnage Rages On
02. Serpents
03. A Lesson In Virulence
04. Ripe Cadavers
05. Rage Of Honour
06. The Ravenous Dead
07. Deadlock
08. Rebirth Of The Grotesque
09. Possessed
10. Great Deceiver

Gloria Morti have issued the following update:

"After 10 years as the band's drummer, Jarmo Juurikka has decided to leave the group due to personal reasons. There is no grudge between him and the other members. Glora Morti is now in progress of finding a new drummer.

There has been very few updates conserning the upcoming album and we apologize for this. Things may look quiet but even as we speak, Räihä's kettles are boiling with some really nasty shit, and unnerving shrieks and wails are carrying out of his guitarcabinet. Expect the very worst humanity has to offer."

In February, bassist Aki Salonen (Neverend) joined the band as a full-time member. A comment from the band read as follows: "He has been working as a session bass player at our shows for few years now, and we felt that the time was ripe to ask him join us. During these years, Aki has proved himself to be a skilled and dedicated musician."
