The Project Hate MCMXCIX - Sign With Season Of Mist
Season Of Mist press release
Season of Mist is proud to welcome infamous industrial Death Metal act The Project Hate MCMXCIX to the roster! The Swedes' 6 song, 60+ minute seventh album will be mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö and has been tentatively scheduled for an early 2011 release.
Band leader Lord K. Philipson made the following comment: "Obviously there's a label in this world realizing there's some fucken potential in what we do, being ready to take the risk in today's illegal downloading dilemma, meaning they want to release the next album of The Project Hate MCMXCIX. The fact that there are still record companies around who try their hardest to get the best music out there absolutely astonishes me.
To be able to do this album with a world wide distribution, thru a label who absolutely seem to know what they are doing, feels great. In the little time I have been in touch with the people of this label I have seen more professionalism than during my entire career. That says a lot. We can now concentrate on delivering the best damned recording we have ever done and leave the rest of the business to the record company in question. To be on the same roster as quality bands like Morbid Angel, Watain, Mayhem and Cynic feels great. And to know that this disc will see the physical light of day is exactly how we want it to be. We want the whole package to be more than a thing on your monitor, and hopefully a lot of you guys feel the same - meaning you will buy a real copy of it in these times of digital theft being the new black.
Thank you, Season of Mist - our new label home. And thank you again - Haters, for being unbelievable and for supporting what we do. On behalf of The Project Hate MCMXCIX, I sincerely thank you all. More than I can ever explain."

Demonical - Enter The Studio Next Month
Swedish metallers Demonical have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"Last weekends muddy - but utterly amazing - Party San Open Air Festival wrapped up the touring cycle for Hellsworn. Heads down for each and everyone who came and showed their loyalty at the about 50 massacres we did in support of the disc. You will all be remembered!
We will now fully focus on our third yet untitled full-length album. The material is more or less written and ready, a rehearsal/pre-production stage will start within the nearest days followed by the actual album recordings at Necromorbus Studios in mid-September lasting throughout the fall.
Album- and track titles, artwork etc will be published along the way and the curse itself will be unleashed upon mankind in April 2011 through Cyclone Empire.
The release will - of course - be supported by a full European headlining tour and several summer festivals.
Stay alert, the war machine marches on!
