Finnish metallers Impaled Nazarene have issued the following update:

"After the successful spring/summer/fall gigs of 2008 around the world the band is now taking some time off from full activity. This simply means composing new material for the somewhere-in-future-to-be-released next album, taking care of other (earthly) businesses and charging of the "armageddon batteries" overall.
We've been planning to start the next album recordings around the spring/summertime of 2009, but we have also decided to not to be in anykind of hurry with that matter. It's a totally "when we feel like" situation at the moment. There might be some one-off gigs done here and there during the wintertime, but more of those later. . .
So the answer to the question (at our website) "Are we dead" (referring to the long web-silence) is: "You wish..."

We will add new photomaterial from the last summer to the webpage soon, we will keep you updated when there's something to be told and we are checking the messageboard (forum, CampNazarene) on daily basis, that's the quickest way to reach us and to get answered for the questions.

Cheers with beers and 6 6 6,
ArcBasstard"

Swedish metallers Visceral Bleeding have issued the following update:

"Due to Martin 'Germ' Bermheden's busy schedule with The Berzerker, we've decided to part ways. The decision was mutual since we need everyone in this band to put Visceral Bleeding as their first priority for things to work and Germ felt that this was no longer possible for him. We wish him the best of luck with The Berzerker and all of his other projects.

We are now looking for a new lead guitarist who has the skill, drive, energy, time and passion that is needed to be in this band. If you feel that you might be the right man for the job then send us an e-mail (info visceralbleeding com) and tell us a bit about yourself and why you would like to join this band. Please also include links to bands that you might play in, music you've recorded or videos you've posted of yourself on YouTube if you have any."
