Reflexion - Part Ways With Drummer
Finnish metallers Reflexion have issued the following update on their official website:
"As the result of many discussions, tears and beers, we have come to the decision that we need a new drummer for Reflexion. This was the biggest and hardest decision in our band's history, but it was made in good spirit and without bad blood.
The root cause of all of this dates back to a year and a half ago. Since then, our long-term drummer and dear friend Ari-Matti "Reiska" Pohjola has been suffering from a still undiagnosed injury in his back and right hand.
About one year ago we decided that we would start to record our third album on summer 2009. At that point everything seemed to be fine. During the year, we played a couple of gigs and we already got signs that Reiska's hand was not working properly, although it still didn't prevent him from playing. In the spring, when we started to rehearse new songs and record demos, Reiska's hand still wasn't right.
We moved the studio session ahead for three weeks but during that time Reiska's hand only got worse and we had to find another solution. We discussed possible solutions and came to a decision to use a session drummer for the studio and try to put Reiska back on the line one way or another. Juha suggested that maybe we should contact his friend and old colleague Tonmi Lillman. We had very good luck in that we managed to get Tonmi to play the drums for the album.
After the album recordings, Reiska's hand and back were still in a bad shape. We had already had some gigs confirmed for next year and we should start to rehearse soon. It was quite a confusing situation and we thought about every possible solution. As an outcome, we came to a decision that we cannot continue in such an uncertain state and all agreed that the best thing for the future of the band is to find a new drummer for Reflexion.
This didn't come easily but we are very happy that we still remain friends. We're all looking forward to see Reiska's hand in a shape that he could continue to play the drums and as well do the other things that are important to him.
Yours sincerely,
Juha, Juhani, Ilkka, Reiska and Mikko"

Arsis - New Album Details Revealed
Original news, posted on 30.07.2009
"Starve For The Devil" will be the name of the fourth studio album from Virginia's melodic/technical death metallers Arsis. New material will be recorded this fall with producer Zeuss (Municipal Waste, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed) at Planet Z Studios in Massachusetts. Artist Mark Riddick will provide his trademarked meticulous and grotesque artwork.
This release will mark the return of founding member/drummer Michael Van Dyne, who states: "The new Arsis record is coming along great - we have eleven new original songs nearly completed, as well as a cover song which will probably be used as a bonus track. Recording this album should be a blast, and the fact that we'll be working with one of the world's top metal producers will only make the experience that much cooler."
Guitarist/singer Jim Malone shares the following: "For the past six months we have been writing songs for "Starve For The Devil", and I must say that I am more than pleased with the way things are going. Mike Van Dyne and I rehearsed this past weekend; it was the first time we have played together in over two and a half years. The rehearsal went amazing; he has really done the songs justice. Look for "Starve For The Devil" to be released early next year and be sure to check us out on the Neckbreakers Ball European Tour in October. We will be supporting Behemoth and Devildriver and it should be, well, good times."
UPDATE (thanks to 13767)
Arsis announced the release date and tracklist of their upcoming album. "Starve For The Devil" is the second album for Nuclear Blast Records and will be released on January 15, 2010. Artwork will be online soon.
Tracklist of the album:
01. Forced to Rock
02. A March for the Sick
03. From Soulless to Shattered (Art in Dying)
04. Beyond Forlorn
05. The Ten of Swords
06. Closer to Cold
07. Sick Perfection
08. Half Past Corpse O'Clock
09. Escape Artist
10. Sable Rising
