German Thrashers EXUMER have been confirmed to appear at this year’s Rock Hard Festival in Milan / Italy, on September 15, 2012. Also on the bill for the festival are Danish Thrashers ARTILLERY, who have just come off the co-headlining "South American Damnation" tour with EXUMER through Argentina, Chile and Brazil. EXUMER’s management is now working on on a European installment of the EXUMER / ARTILLERY package and are planning additional dates with both bands throughout Europe in September / October, 2012. Vocalist Mem V. Stein comments: "Our "South American Damnation" tour was such a success for both bands, us and ARTILLERY, that we did not hesitate to ask our management to replicate the package for Europe. This means that we have to put our North American dates, which were planned for the fall, on hold until spring 2013. There were no alternate time frames to bring both bands back out on the road and we didn’t want to risk losing the opportunity altogether to bring the package to Europe." The line-up for the "Rock Hard Festival Italia 2012" shapes up as follows: MARDUK, BULLDOZER, ARTILLERY, EXUMER, IMMOLATION many more to be announced.

Arizona’s REIGN OF VENGEANCE have started working on the follow up EP to their 2011 release, "Disemboweling Swine". Front man and founder Marshall "Fucking" Beck issued the following statement: "REIGN OF VENGEANCE has begun pre-production on a new five song EP. I can promise that as of right now this album will be extremely dangerous, simply because of its lyrical content. The music, as always, is speaking for itself in terms of masterly crafted horror oriented brutality. Over the past couple of years I have begun to run within certain circles and have obtained knowledge about certain things that might happen to our deserving and pathetic race of humans within our near future. This will not be another meaningless gore soaked "total fucking brutal" album like the other cliches of the Death Metal genre, and this will not be like a Black Metal album that constantly attacks a force that may or may not even exist. This album addresses real forces and certain individuals that posses more power than can be contemplated by most common minds. I have always believed that music is a weapon and this album will certainly prove that. If upon its release there is not mass confusion and chaos amongst the common men and the elite then I will be thoroughly disappointed. The name of this upcoming EP will be entitled "The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion". Expect Brutality, expect bloodshed, but above all, expect revolution."
