Scotland’s SEEDS OF DESOLATION are set to begin recording their debut album entitled "Abattoir Of Carnal Rapture" at Spacelab Studios, Germany in late September. These guys have been creating quite a buzz for a while now with their brand of technical and incredibly brutal Death Metal (imagine a head-on collision involving Deeds Of Flesh and Hate Eternal). The album will be out in November on Retribute Records and the band will be furiously gigging before and after the release date.

Finland’s Black Metallers BLOODROSE are currently in a studio in their home country, putting the finishing touches to their long-awaited debut "Into Oblivion".

UK’s GILLA BRUJA having spent the months since the release of "Tooth And Nail" perfecting their headcrushing groove and their malicious, pounding industrial-laced take on Metal to deliver their second full length album on Halloween. GILLA BRUJA are combining the intensity of sludge, the technological influence of industrial and the brutality of grind and could be described as the hate-filled offspring of GODFLESH, CROWBAR, SOILENT GREEN and OBITUARY.

EXMORTEM will enter the Antfarm studios on the 2nd of September to record the follow up to the "Berzerker Legions" album. This will be the band’s first album for Osmose Productions. The album will be mixed and mastered in the Feedback studio. No release date have been made yet. A studio report will be available on the band’s website (www.exmortem.com), around the 1st of October. So far three titles have been made official: ‘Ghastly Grotesque’, ‘Death Deceiver’ and ‘Gruesome Icons’.
