Detonation - Recording New Album Next Month
Detonation have shared that they will be hitting the studio next month to start recording their fourth full length album. The following message was posted by the band on their myspace page:
"We had a blast in the UK during the past week! Despite 2 shows being cancelled we did have a couple a very nice shows and one hell of a good time. Major thanks go out to the guys from Bloodshot Dawn, especially to Josh, who have been so kind to accommodate us, help us book the shows and support us on every one of them! Thanks as well to all other bands that supported us as well as everyone that showed up on the show, we hoped you guys enjoyed the new songs!
New songs are also what we'll be focussing on the upcoming period. We have a fair amount of new material finished and will most likely hit the studios next month to records a couple of new songs. These recordings will mainly be to see how the new songs and line-up work out in de studios, but if they turn out well we might put something here on MySpace as well."

Vorum - Releasing New Mini-CD
Woodcut Records press release
Vorum will release their first MCD baptized "Grim Death Awaits" in 24th of April 2009 through Woodcut Records. Prelisten to the MCD at http://www.vorumdeath.com, Last.fm or http://www.myspace.com/vorumdeath.
Vorum is a death metal band hailing from Ahvenanmaa, Finland and came to existence in the winter of 2006. The three members J.Johansson, M. Jalava and M. Josefsson started rehearsing almost daily and began focusing on writing songs. After a while the band (then under the moniker of Haudankaivaja) did a demo in the summer of 2007 wich contained 7 songs and was recorded by M. Josefssons brother Jesper. This demo was never officially released. The band played a few gigs in Mariehamn and in late February of 2008, Vorum went to Panu Posti to record a new demo that later came to gather some attention. The demo of 2008 was well received in reviews on internet fanzines like imperiumi. net but as well in magazines such as Miasma, and a few cd-r demos was sent out to people who asked for it. Vorum has had some radio plays in the YleX Metalliliitto show and was seen on the front cover of the Finnish metal/rock magazine "Inferno" this year. The latest demo in question is now going to be released as an MCD by Woodcut Records named "Grim Death Awaits" and it is the bands first official release. Vorum is now slowly but steady writing new material for their debut full-length album.
"Grim Death Awaits" tracklisting:
01. They Are The Dead
02. Grim Death Awaits
03. Carved In Dead Flesh
04. Through The Throats Of Liars
05. Ritual Desecration
06. Obscure Rites
07. Cthonic
08. Eyes Burning Red

The Absence - Working On New Album
The Absence have issued the following update:
"As some of you know, we are writing for our third full-length album. It's been a bit of a slow going thing. We are trying to make a record that has a classic and timeless feel to it. Some of you may also know that "Riders Of The Plague" is going to be a hard album to top. We are doing whatever it takes to do just that. We have some ideas up our sleeves to involve you fans on this next record as well. The last time, we had many of our fans put their names in our CD insert. Keep your eyes open for something a whole lot cooler than that. The music is coming along. We will be posting video footage of the pre-production and the recording in the months to come."

Mnemic - New Album In The Making
An official statement regarding the band's activities was posted on their MySpace page on Thursday and reads as follows:
"It's about time we rise from the dormant and break the silence, to give you all an update from the Mnemic camp!
Its been too damn long since the last update, which i must apologize for. First of all, a really late Happy New Year from the lads in Mnemic to all of you reading this. Since we took a break from touring in 2008, apart from playing a few shows with Metallica (Yes, I still mention this cause I'm damn proud of it!), things have been quite productive. We have definitely not been lazy, that's for sure. As we did recharge our batteries, in this break, we also fell the hunger for creativity and started writing new material. Already by now I can confirm that we have 11 brand new songs written, and we are still a long way from finishing. The plan is of course to write as many songs as possible until we are 110% satisfied with all the material. For now the title of the album is set as "Sons of the System".
Why is this taking so long you may ask? Because we want to be 100% satisfied with this release and not put out an album we just worked on two months in advance prior to the recordings. On the other hand, as the release date has not yet been set, I assure you, this will definitely not be a Chinese Democracy in the making.
On a last note, we have quite a few surprises up our sleeve for this release?.and as for touring, there will only be shows co-inciding with the release of the new album, which means you'll have to wait a bit if you want to see us live. Its all part of a greater plan ;-)
