The CHTON track ‘Scavenger Of A Dead World’ can now be checked out at the band’s official Myspace-profile: www.myspace.com/chton. This track is one of three brand new songs on their new promo "Death Awaits" recorded at Godt Selskap Studio (Bloodthorn, Necrophagia, Keep of Kalessin etc.). This is the first recording featuring newly recruited CHTON drummer Vegar ‘Vyl’ Larsen (Keep of Kalessin). "Death Awaits" will not be for sale (only as a promo for labels), but one of the tracks will be used for an upcoming split 7" with fellow Trondheim Death Metallers BLOODTHORN. The other two will be re-recorded for the follow-up to "Chtonian Lifecode", the 2004 CHTON debut on Retribute Records. The band is currently without a label, but almost a full album of material is ready and they hope to release their 2nd album in the third quarter of 2006. "Death Awaits" tracklist: ‘Scavenger Of A Dead World’, ‘Contagion (The Disease)’ and ‘Dobermanifesto’. CHTON has also launched a brand new website. The band comments that "We’ll update the news here more often now, and we’ll slowly fill out some blanks we haven’t done yet (like more pictures, more info on previous gigs, more interviews etc.)! We’ve got some new downloads for y’all to check out, and we’re also working on another clip of drunken disorder and Death Metal dicipline from the recording of the Death Awaits promo." Two new video downloads are available: ‘Unholy Communion’: Music taken from "Chtonian Lifecode". The video is edited from footage shot when CHTON opened for Mayhem at Studentersamfundet in Trondheim on January 15, 2005. ‘Xhaos Xultus Xhton’: On- and offstage bootleg-footage of CHTON mischief. Shot by people in and around CHTON, some more drunk than others. For full bio, discography and other info, go to www.chton.com
