Long-running German metallers Atrocity will release a new two-song download single on 11 January, and according to vocalist Alex Krull, "Smalltown Boy turned out to be hymn-like, catchy and melodic whereas Relax has become a real monster song!"

"Smalltown Boy" and "Relax" come off Atrocity's long-awaited new album, "Werk 80 II", which is scheduled for release on 29 February 2008. Like the first "Werk 80" release, which came out in 1997, "Werk 80 II" features Atrocity's interpretations of hit songs from the '80s.
