Gloria Morti - Drummer Leaves The Band
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."

Devin Townsend - To Release New Solo Material
On his MySpace page Devin Townsend (ex-Strapping Young Lad, ex-Devin Townsend Band) published a brief interview announcing a new solo album, "Ki".
Townsend commented: "Ki" is the first of 4 albums in a series of albums under the moniker 'Devin Townsend Project.' Each album is essentially a different "band" (or collection of session musicians) playing my music. They were chosen based on what the theme of the album is, and the vibe that the album is trying to project. The album "Ki" is very specific in this quartet of albums in that it controls its anger throughout the album barring one song (Heaven Send), and really is an exercise in having little to prove."
The whole interview can be read here. According to a message from Townsend on his forums, "Ki" will be released in late May or June. An album teaser can be found at this location.

God Seed - Former Gorgoroth Members Choose New Name
Former Gorgoroth members Gaahl and King ov Hell have chosen the new banner of God Seed to represent their art.
Posted on the band's newly created myspace page:
"God Seed was chosen for many reasons; it represents the will to grow, the god within man and nature, and the will to reach one's highest potential. God Seed is also the title of a track from the last album released under the "Gorgoroth" banner and in that respect it symbolizes what is brought from the past into a new beginning and a new future.
The album which has been in the works as a "Gorgoroth" album will now be released as the first God Seed album and should be in-stores in late 2009.
King comments: "The past 18 months has been a struggle on many levels. Therefore I'm very excited about God Seed - even on a personal level. Hopefully this will lead to growth to me personally and for the band as a whole. It's time to use my energy on something that wants to live, rather than to use my energy on something that wants to die and be part of my past!!!"
More details on the upcoming album - line-up etc will be announced shortly."
