UK metallers Anaal Nathrakh have issued the following update:

"The work on the new album is nearing completion, and we can now announce the record label via which it will emerge later this year: Candlelight Records."

The popular extreme metal duo are currently in the studio working on its new album, "In The Constellation Of The Black Widow", for a summer release. Vocalist Dave Hunt says: "Candlelight have shown a strong belief in Anaal Nathrakh and looking at some of the acts on their roster both past and present it seems they are capable of backing up their good intentions. With their help, we hope we can finally get the planet cracked in half."

Commenting on the new album, Dave states: "Constellation will be faster, more insidious, more ominous, more musically dextrous and wilder than ever before. The album will feature a curve ball guest appearance from Zeitgeist Memento of Mexican extremists Republica."

"Assailant", the new video from Swedish metallers Devian, has been made available online.

The clip was shot by Rasmus Tirzitis (Tirzitis Entertainment). According to a Century Media press release, "the clip perfectly fits to the band's extremely dynamic, hellish aggressive sound and massive, thrashing riffs, it is likely to be deemed too brutal and offensive for most common TV outlets, so feel free to watch the uncensored version at this location".

"Assailant" comes off Devian's second album, entitled "God To The Illfated", which was released in Europe last December through Century Media Records.
