Ghostlimb have announced a new 10″ split with Fischer due on their own label Vitriol records. The new 10″ will contain 13 tracks, six of which belong to the Graf Orlock offshoot. Speaking of Graf Orlock, look for the Destination Time Today on Level Plane at the end of this month, with Vitriol doing the North American vinyl.

Municipal Waste are wasting the studio! The Richmand crew has begun tracking their new album, Massive Aggressive, expecting to sew it up in the next few weeks before heading out on the road with Lamb of God. Massive Aggressive is tentatively scheduled for an August 2009 release. Speaking of their tour with Lamb of God, the previously announced Lamb of God show in Asbury Park has been cancelled.

Antigama – “Disconnected”Decapitated is soldiering on: “I was thinking about that for a long time and it’s really hard decision for me, but I have decided to continue this band and keep Decapitated alive. I know it will be not the same anymore but I want to try and I’m sure Witek and Covan will support me and will be happy about that… So I want to say that if anybody from drummers and vocalists feel that they can continue what Witek and Covan did and put all power, energy and live time for this band, contact me – [email protected].”

Arsis has dropped off of the previously mentioned Carcass tour, and drummer David Kinkade offered the following commentary:
“I regret to inform everyone that Arsis will NOT be on the Carcass tour scheduled to kick off in Philadelphia on the 13th of March. This is due to situations in Arsis that are out of my hands… There are major personal and communication issues in this band that need be resolved before anything can continue as Arsis. Due to the situation, I am available for session/possible long-term drum work nationally and internationally.”

Saviours are working on new material.
