Dear friends, fans and supporters,

we courently spend a lot of time in the Studio with Andy Sneap, listening to, and mixing the material we´ve recorded on the last tour.
Most of the songs came out great, well maybe some mistakes here and there, but hey - it´s a live record isn´t it ? This week I´ll enter the editing room to start working on some Korean footage. The Sao Paolo material looks amazing, and the 5.1 mix will give you the impression of beeing right there watching the show. Other than that we´ll start editing some ancient home video footage for a detailed history part that will contain interviews, live sequences and private archive meaterial from 85 to 03.
We often get mails from you lately, asking about the release date of the CD/DVD. I think I cannot answer that question right now, but let me tell you this much : It will take as long until both works can live up to the quality standarts that we thing are necesarry for a release. There is no " good enoughs" - it has to be perfekt ! So be patient , and I can promise you that you will definately not be disappointed ! I think May or June would be realistic for a release right now.....

Other than that our Moscow show on March 29th just got confirmed. Another U.S tour is in the making for September.

Greetings from Essen / Germany to all of you,
Mille Petrozza

La France renonce à surtaxer les bières fortes
mercredi 05 février - 14h39


La France a fait savoir la semaine dernière à la Commission européenne qu'elle avait l'intention d'abroger son projet de taxation sur les bières fortes, selon un porte-parole à Bruxelles qui s'est félicité que cette "mesure discriminatoire" ne soit pas appliquée. Déjà mi-janvier, les autorités françaises avaient reconnu que le projet de taxation "était très douteux sur le plan du droit communautaire", a précisé le porte-parole. Le projet français consistait à relever le niveau des taxes sur les bières titrant plus de 8,5 degrés d'alcool. La Commission avait relevé début janvier qu'un tel relèvement sur ces bières fortes affecterait seulement des bières produites dans d'autres Etats membres et importées en France, et pas les bières brassées en France. Le commissaire européen chargé du Marché intérieur et de la Fiscalité, Frits Bolkestein, n'avait pas exclu alors d'ouvrir une procédure d'infraction contre la France dans ce dossier.

On boit que du Champomy ici

March 17th will also be the release date for "Truth Beyond...", the third album of Canadas NEURAXIS, a brandnew Morbid Records signing. The album was produced at Canada's Z-Sound Studio (GORGUTS, CRYPTOPSY) and features "ultrabrutal grooves and riffs combined with technical sophistication..." Guest musicans from CEPHALIC CARNAGE among others.
