Decrepit Birth - Part Ways With Two Members
US metallers Decrepit Birth have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"Drummer KC Howard and guitarist Dan Eggers have both decided to part ways with the band. We want thank them very much for the hard work. KC left the band right after the recording of the new album, to pursue his career as a fulltime music teacher. KC contributed since 2004 and has been an integral part of the band over the past years. Dan who joined in 2008, decided to part ways to due to personal career choices. We wish them the best of luck and success in whatever they do.
For live shows, we will be bringing in drummers Samus Paulicelli (Ex-Abigail Williams) and Lee Smith (Estradasphere), both helping us (separately) on various future tours.
As well, guitarist Chase Fraser (Animosity, Son Of Aurelius) will bring his amazing guitar skills to the table.
This temporary reconstruction of the bands lineup has left us no choice but to cancel for the 4th annual California Metal fest. We apologize to all the fans that were looking forward to seeing Decrepit Birth at the California Metal fest this year. We will be back for the Summer Slaughter tour 2010 with a new lineup and ready to perform a new setlist featuring songs from our upcoming album Polarity which will be released on July 27 via Nuclear Blast Records."

Suidakra - Begin Work On New Album
German metallers Suidakra have issued the following update on their official website:
"Quite some time has passed since the last update. We have been in North America, which was great as always! Check out some pics here. Thanks to all of you who came out to the shows! We had a good time and hope to come back soon...
Right now we're on the next tour already, riding through France and Switzerland. Check out the tour dates and come to the gigs if you can make it! Unfortunately the London show in June will go on without our participation due to organisational problems beyond our control. Sorry for that!
Our Emprise To Avalon album was re-released recently. Originally out on Century Media in the year 2002, Emprise To Avalon has surely become a Suidakra classic over the years. It was out of print for some time, but now you may purchase it here. Brandnew "15 Years anniversary" T-shirts are available as well...
The best at the end: We started to write new music for the next album and have about 4 songs finished so far! Recording is supposed to start in December; we'll keep you updated..."

Amberian Dawn - Join Forces With Twisted Talent
Twisted Talent press release
Trying to find a great band which has a unique style and approach to its music is a job for a very patient and observant man - or a pearl diver. In fact, it might be as hard as finding a pearl in the River Of Tuoni.
However, we at Twisted Talent have the great luck to have a few good pearl diggers around who came up one day with a Finnish band called Amberian Dawn. Mr. Jens Johansson himself, notorious keyboarder of Stratovarius and a real expert when it comes to good music gave us an important hint. Checking them out for the first time meant listening to their debut album River Of Tuoni... struck by the impressive virtuosity of guitar & keyboard player Tuomas Seppälä, the fragile & complex melodies and the clear, mellow voice of classical soprano singer Heidi Parviainen, it got more and more obvious to us, that we had found something very special!
This impression was overwhelmingly assured after listening as well to their second album The Clouds Of Northland Thunder. Symphonic metal meets extreme technical skills, talent, poesy, a great voice and dark, mythical, beautiful stories packed in extraordinary songs.
To complete the picture with one more interesting component, Amberian Dawn have released 2 of their songs on Rockband Network so far. 5 more songs are to come very soon and it is planned to release all other songs of their current albums in the near future as well, so stay tuned! The Rockband Network page is based on the idea that bands can upload their songs in a game-compatible (we're talking about the video game Rock Band, of course!) way in order to give fans and gamers all around the world the opportunity to download the tunes and to compete with their favourite musicians - oh, by the way... Amberian Dawn's songs are classified as difficulty level "5" - the most difficult one.
After all these words, we would like to announce very proudly that we have the honour to welcome Amberian Dawn on our roster. Twisted Talent will be in charge of Amberian Dawn's booking in Europe, the world and furthermore takes over the band's management.
