Eidolon - Update From The Studio

The following message by Glen Drover was posted in the Eidolon's official website:

"Hello all!!

Here is an update to let you know where we stand with the progress of recording the new Eidolon album "The Parallel Otherworld"

All that is left now are 2 bass tracks, my solos and Nils vocals, which we will have in our hands in about 3 weeks time.

This will also be the first time that we mix and Master the album in my studio, with the help of my great Pro Tools teacher, Tony Crea. Learning all these different things in Pro Tools is so cool, as it really opens the doors to many more possibilities in recording. through the process of doing this new album, right up to the completion, i will have really good handle on what i need to do for all the different stages of recording in the future!

anyway, my next post will be when the album is 100% complete!

till then, take care."

Gorguts - Confirm Disband/To Release DVD

The following message by Luc Lemay was posted on the Gorgut's official website:

"It's true that I've decided to end GORGUTS last year...

There will be a official statement soon here.

I will release a live cd from the tour we did in 93' for EROSION....and also a DVD later in 2006 from the OBSCURA tour.

I took a long break from music and started my own business....I'm a full time self taught wood carver now.....I have a nice workshop, I design and build fine furniture and I carve alot of signs for business.
But now I feel for me it's about time to come back to music with my long time partner in crime and best friend Steeve Hurdle."

Edenbeast - Bassist & Vocalist Left The Band

The following messaga was postes on the Edendbeast's website:

"A lot has happened since the last update, both good and bad stuff. Here we go.

Two members have left edenbeast: Erik M. Nielsen (bass) and Steen Knudsen (vocals).
They left for pretty much the same reason - lack of time and dedication, due to other priorities within their lives. We accept their decision and wish them all the best in their future endeavours!

This leaves us in need of a vocalist and...a guitarist? Yes, the bass playing duties are now handled by Bjorn O. who felt the need of a change and grabbed the opportunity when Erik left."
