Chrome Division - Change Vocalist
Guitarist Shagrath has issued the following update on behalf of Chrome Division:
"Hail all you Rock 'n' Rollers out there! We thought it would be the right time for a little update from Hell, to all the Chromers out there. A lot of things are happening in the Chrome Camp these days, and not everything is ok for some...
First and foremost, we've decided to part ways with Eddie Guz, the voice of Chrome since 2005. He's out, due to lack of dedication and commitment to the band. Since the band is more active than ever, it would only slow down the tempo of achieving their future goals. This decision needed to be done for the benefit of Chrome Division. Eddie Guz will still remain a friend and a drinking buddy, but sometimes friendship and music don't always blend easily together. But we ensure our fans that there is no need to worry.
In February, Shady Blue (Athera of Susperia) stepped in for Eddie on a gig in Germany, and the result was very pleasing for both the band and the fans. So we are happy to announce that Shady Blue has now become a full worthy permanent singer in Chrome Division.
The breakup had some consequences in form of the cancellation of two festival jobs in Germany, which is totally unfortunate and really frustrating for the band, but sometimes the shit hits the fan for real... Nevertheless, a concert in London is booked for October 2nd and our hometown, Oslo, will get Chromed the 30th of November. So the live situation doesn't look too bad after all.
Anyway, we also want to enlighten and share with our fans that Chrome Division is in a full creative process of completing the material for our third album. Only a few more songs to complete before it's ready to be recorded. We're aiming for a release sometime next year.
A new member, new oil in the engine, new boost and a new era. Await the 3rd chapter of unholy rock n' roll!"

Dimmu Borgir - Keyboardist And Bassist Out Of The Band
Dimmu Borgir keyboardist Øyvind "Mustis" Mustaparta has issued the following statement on his MySpace page:
"Attention to all the worldwide fans of my work with Dimmu Borgir. I feel that I must begin my note to you all by saying that your dedication and interest in my musical work with Dimmu Borgir has been greatly appreciated by me for many, many years and you all have motivated me to continue to push the creative envelope farther each and every day. You might be able to see where this note is heading and if you are thinking correctly you will know that I am informing you all that I am no longer associated with the band and have left the ranks of Dimmu Borgir effective immediately.
My departure was not entirely of my own accord and while I had felt this change was something imminent for my future, my time had been spent addressing the fact that many songs written by me had not been registered properly under my name in their credits. Without naming every single track, let us just say that a good majority of albums like "Spiritual Black Dimensions", "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" and "In Sorte Diaboli" would have been vastly different had I not composed and created as much as I actually did. Sadly, based on terrible gaps in the communication process and a failure to find logical rationale for why this had been done this way found me hitting wall after wall as opposed to finding a professional and reasonable solution to the problem. My inquiries and investigation into the issues which I wished to resolve and move on from would in the end find me being fired from the group. No discussions about it, just "goodbye" (via text message).
I can say to you that this was not a new dispute and is something that has been going on for some years and since these are my individual creative rights and work that are being denied of me, we shall now let the resolution come from the lawyers instead of dealing with more dishonesty and lies on a one on one personal level. On this I cannot say anymore because we will be walking into sticky legal territory. I mentioned earlier that my fans have motivated me to create great music again and again and they should know that I will continue to do this and shall return to them in the not too distant future with material that I hope will keep their musical needs fed. In advance I will say that I thank you for notes and texts of support and ask that you please understand that there is not much more I can say on this, nor will be able to answer every single message that I get. I ask you to please keep tabs on my official MySpace page. I will do my best to post what I am legally allowed to share with you so you remain informed."

Year Of Desolation - Back From The Dead
After a small hiatus, Year Of Desolation have issued the following update on their MySpace:
"I am pleased beyond belief to be able to say this: Year Of Desolation IS going to start tearing shit up again. That's right, after a year and a half long hiatus, we've all talked and it's going to happen. The line up is going to be:
Chad Zimmerman - Vokills
Brandon Lytle - Bass
Matt Behner - Drums
Josh Kappel - Guitars
John M. Hehman II - Composition/Guitars
Mike had to leave us about 2 and a half years ago because of some personal issues but he's got it all sorted out and we're glad to have him back on board. That being said, Brandon Lytle is a 100% phenomenal Bassist, we appreciate him, the time he spent with us and we wish him all the best. Much love and respect Bran.
So what's going to happen?
New material: We've got some stuff we've all been workin on the past 2+ years and we're gonna get together over the winter and try to finish it up and get it recorded. It's going to be slightly different than what you're used to from us. Bigger riffs, more memorable parts etc. The "progressive" aspect will still be there but these songs are written with the "lets just fucking headbang" mentality. Is it going to be the fastest shit we've ever done? If 265bpm isn't fast enough for you, go drive a Top fuel dragster.
Record Label: Not holding our breath, this may be a self financed operation from here on out. Maybe if we saw something on goldflek paper and inked in blood.
Touring: There is NO big rush to get back into touring, we're going to look for the right opportunities instead of just killing ourselves by taking everything that is thrown at us. That being said, don't be surprised if you see us out around spring time next year.
Management: Who knows."

Robot Monster Army - Live Track Online
Robot Monster Army, the brainchild of ex-Wargasm frontman Bob Mayo, have posted an exclusive live track on the RMA's official MySpace page. "Break Every Bone (Live)" is one of 3 tracks that will appear on the forthcoming "Strange Angel" EP, the second release from Robot Monster Army.
"Strange Angel" EP cover art] tracklist:
01. Strange Angel
02. Animal Heart/Machine Head
03. Break Every Bone
Robot Monster Army's self-titled debut album was released in June on YAAG Records and is currently available via all major online music outlets. The 70's-inspired album features performances by several members of Boston's metal elite: former members of Wargasm, Only Living Witness & Gang Green appear, and current members of Steel Assassin, Bad Karma and Meliah Rage also contributed.
"2 of the songs on the EP are basically left-overs from the first album", says Mayo. "It's an outtake from the album sessions ("Strange Angel"), the b-side to the "She's The Future" single ("Animal Heart/Machine Head"), and also a live track ("Break Every Bone"). I don't remember much about the live one..."
Each Robot Monster Army release will benefit a worthy cause; a portion of the proceeds generated from the "Strange Angel" EP will benefit Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.
"Robot Monster Army " cover art] tracklist:
01. Flame On!
02. Halfway
03. Red Planet
04. Gazelle
05. Your Dog's Teeth
06. Nerve Damage/Nerve Ending
07. She's The Future
08. We're All Going To Hell
09. On The Moon/Moon Rock
