The 3rd KATAPLEXIA album is ready!! "Supreme Authority" was recorded during the months of March/ April featuring a special session drummer which is no other than Timo Häkkinen from SOTAJUMALA, who's a really talented musician and lend his killer technical skills and speed-of-light drumming for this great album!!
Cover art for this release was done by the amazing greek artist George "Grin", and it's definitely an awesome piece of art which is at the same level of renowned names like Dan Seagrave and similars.

AVULSED
15.4.2008
Yesterday night, our drummer Ricky suffered a loss of coscience and once in the hospital he remained in the Intensive Care Unit. It seems like he suffered a small brain stroke or something like that. this is, one of the veins was broken and some blood was spilled, so he need some surgery to take that blood out.
At this point we don't know much about it, since he liked 200 km away, and this is the information provided to us by his girlfriend, but what it's sure is that we'll have to cancel the AVULSED performance at the DELIRIUM FESTIVAL that's taking place near Paris 8France) next Saturday 19th of April. Also, right now we're not sure if we'll be able to perform at the UNDERGROUND METAL FEST in Lyon (France) next saturday 26th of April as well. We still have to see how Ricky develops from this and then we'll see, although this really doesn't depend on us.
We're very sorry for not being able to perform at the DELIRIUM FESTIVAL on which AVULSED was the headliner sharing the bill with quite some cool bands like HACRIDE + NO RETURN + DEGRADEAD + EMBRYONIC CELLS + HYSTHERESY + E-VICE. We hope our fans and the organizers will understand us in this critical situation and we really hope to play at next year's edition of the festival.

decided to release their third album "Let Chaos Prevail" self-financed in Scandinavia.
The band's strong belief in the material took them to Fantom Studios already last
summer and now finally after almost a year of pondering their options, the band
will finally release the album. As their criteria for the release this time was
proper promotion in Finland and Scandinavia combined with wide spread distribution
over the world, the band came to the conclusion of releasing the album self financed
in Finland and getting a foreign partner to handle the distribution & promotion
all over the world. The right label for co-operation was found in XTREEM MUSIC.

The tentative track listing for the new promotional CD is as follows:

02. Slavery in a Deaf Decay
03. Hierarchy of the Fools
Currently unsigned, HOUR OF PENANCE will use the new recording to procure a new record deal.

The track list is confirmed as follows:

HORRID is proud to announce a new replacement found in Satras, former singer of NIGHTWARD, which is now the official lead vocalist and he will be with us on stage since the very first show ever in Germany for HORRID".
XTREEM MUSIC feels prouder than ever to announce what's undoubtely the most
relevant signing in the label's 5-year history!! This is no other than the mighty
super-cult US Thrash/ Heavy Metal band HALLOWS EVE!! Having released three classic
albums on Metal Blade from '85 to '88, the band returned in 2005 with a self-financed
4th album entitled "Evil Never Dies" which has passed quite unnoticed
due to the lack of real promotion and distribution, so the band finally signed
a deal with XTREEM MUSIC for a worldwide release that will secure a proper exposure
for this long awaited return.
The new HALLOWS EVE line-up features two original members form the 1st album:
Tommy Stewart (bass/ vocals) & Skullator (guitar/ vocals) and their style,
although still retaining their original doses of that powerful blend of Thrash
& Heavy Metal, has incorporated more current influences from styles such
as Death Metal with even some blast beats!! The current band's style is for
sure pretty different to what it used to be 20 years ago, being a lot heavier
and more aggresssive but standing out the great variety throughout the entire
album which makes it a really varied and interesting work.
You can actually read a few interviews and reviews in the following links:
The release date of "Evil Never Dies" through XTREEM MUSIC is scheduled
for May 15th. You can hear three of the songs at www.myspace.com/hallowsevemusic.
