ASPHYX recorded 2 songs at the end of January 2008 at Harrow studio: CELTIC FROST’s ‘Os Abysmi Vel Daath’ from their "Monotheist" album and one new ASPHYX song, called ‘Death… The Brutal Way’. It is supposed to be in the vein of ‘Serenade In Lead’ (from the album "Last One On Earth"). Expect uptempo and furious Death Metal. This track may also be posted on the band’s website when the mixing and mastering is done next week.

Pagan Metallers OBTEST from Vilnius, Lithuania has just inked a deal with Osmose Productions for the release of their new album "Gyvybes Medis". Ledo Takas, the old label of the band, has secured exclusive rights to release and distribute the new album in the Baltic States. "Gyvybes Medis" will be released in three different formats: digipak CD, picture vinyl and collectors’ A5 sized CD book. The release date is set for April 04, 2008. New OBTEST merchandise will be presented at the same time.
