"They had left Anaheim, BLOOD FREAK's hometown, on Friday morning and were driving to Seattle so they could begin recording their long-awaited second album, "Live Fast, Die Young And Leave A Flesh-Eating Corpse", this week. The album was to have been the second released by Razorback Records. Jason (Grinter, bass / vocals) and the boys were about to head into Portland when something went wrong and their rented van veered off the road. Tragically, all three passengers were killed in the crash. Exactly what went wrong with BLOOD FREAK's van isn't known yet. We hope to have more details soon.

The recording marks a new chapter in the groups 12 year history, featuring a newly revamped lineup and direction with the addition of Gabriel Lewandowski (ACHERON, HELLWITCH) on drums, and Nate Lawres (ARUSPEX, WARBUTCHER) on rhythm guitars and keyboards. According to vocalist / bassist Matt "Darkness" Wagner, "The new direction of EQUINOX is certainly much more aggressive, technical, and overall more epic than ever before! The additions of both Nate and Gabriel have helped push the envelope of aggression that EQUINOX has lacked in the past, taking us back to our Death Metal roots." EQUINOX's latest full length album, "Journey Into Oblivion", was released in 2003 by the now seemingly defunct Still Dead Records (Poland). "Still Dead disappeared completely on us for the 2nd time in our relationship, leaving EQUINOX High and Dry, with all of our hopes of releasing a new album now put on hold" says guitarist / founder Pete Slate, "EQUINOX are now forced to start over, and with this new EP, we will be actively seeking a new record deal for the next release! The new material just gets better and better the longer we have to work with it, however, we are anxious to get into the studio to release this EP, and show the labels, and the world that EQUINOX is alive, kicking, and stronger than ever!" EQUINOX's next live appearance is scheduled for Saturday, August 27th at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando.

The "Heidenlärm 2005" concert with ABSURD, MORRIGAN and FORGOTTEN DARKNESS got cancelled due to the fear of the German state security police that this was gonna be a Neo-Nazi meeting. MORRIGAN's Balor send us the following official statement about this: "We (the band MORRIGAN) know all members of this band and we can say that we never saw them once making a Hitler salute, shouting "Sieg Heil" or stuff like that. I often talked with Wolf about this and he always said that the ideology behind the band is pure Paganism and nothing else. We can 100% confirm that this is the truth, because we know the lyrics of the last CDs and they exclusively deal with German mythology and stuff of the medival times... Other bands in the so-called Black Metal scene like DARKTHRONE (just remember the slogan "Norsk Arisk Black Metal") or BURZUM are dealing with some right-wing topics and nobody cares, because these bands are not from Germany and only do it for the shocking aspect. Why must we Germans always be blamed for things that are more than 60 years ago and other countries like Italy and Japan that cooperated with Germany during WW2 get away with it? Well, if you listen to the new ABSURD stuff and read the lyrics carefully I think even the last enemy of this band will see, that there's no radical right-wing topics in the music or the lyrics... FUCK HYPOCRITICAL POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!!! - Balor of MORRIGAN."
