Coronatus - Part Ways With Singer, Replacement Announced

German metallers Coronatus have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"First the bad news: After some months of work and rehearsal with Natalia Kempin, we realized, that the different opinions about music and band are too far away from each other, and does not support the creative band life for the upcoming tour dates and the new album. For this reason, Coronatus and Natalia split, she will not be Coronatus singer anymore from this point. We wish her all the best for the future!

Now the good news: For the upcoming gigs and the tour with Haggard (more info coming soon), we where able to reactivate an old friendship from the Lux Noctis times. Viola Schuch, singer on Lux Noctis, will fill the empty space for a part of the tour! This is a very rare opportunity for all Coronatus fans, to see an unexpected Line Up, and an exceptional experience on the upcoming concerts! For the other part of the tour, we will announce another surprise very soon. Stay tuned!

A short note for the upcoming tour with Haggard: we will play a part of the Haggard European Tour, mostly Germany. Exact locations and dates will be announced soon."

Corrosion Of Conformity - Enter The Studio In March

US metallers Corrosion Of Conformity have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"The 3 of us (Mike, Reed and Woodroe) have been writing new music non-stop here lately. We have 12 songs or so ready to record when we head out to the studio in Los Angeles in the middle of March. I'd say the tunes cover a wide spectrum of the C.O.C sound from very Fast to Doom. Our long time producer John Custer (Blind, Deliverance, Wiseblood, America's Volume Dealer, Arms Of God) will be working with us again on the new record and Mike Dean has threatened to join in on some of the production work as well. Also a lot of touring in the very near future. In addition to the already announced European dates in April we have scheduled a handful of U.S. dates and another European tour in June and July that will be confirmed shortly. Looking forward to all."
