Alex Okendo of Colombia’s MASACRE has started up a solo project entitled MORBID MACABRE. According to Alex "it sounds like the oldscool South American Death Metal, a lot like old sarcofago or old old sepultura." For more info, you can contact him at alexokendo@hotmail.com.

Bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling of OBSCURA and PESTILENCE fame has signed an endorsement deal with Warwick in Germany. Known for his fretless six-string bass playing in the death metal scene, Thesseling will be using the instruments as German death metallers OBSCURA wrap up recordings for their second album which will be produced by Victor Bullok (Dark Fortress, ex-Celtic Frost).
