Swedish metallers FALCONER have entered KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque's SonicTrain Studios in Gothenburg to begin recording their sixth album for a fall 2008 release via Metal Blade Records. FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall previously stated about the upcoming CD. "The lyrics will all be about Swedish medieval life and episodes. Not a concept album really but still something in that direction. What I decided early on what that it wouldn't become "Northwind Pt. 2". "Northwind" is as good as it can be, therefore we'll make things a tad different this time." MACHINEMADE GOD announce new bass player & launch new website!  For those who were wondering why we were playing with a stand-in bassplayer the last months: After his marriage, Sven figured that he had to focus more on his job and family life and that he couldn´t spend enough time with and for the band. Within the last months our stand-in David Dattler did an outstanding job. He also turned out to fit perfectly in the band and became a really good friend for all of us. When Sven told us his decision, we knew that there could be only one person to join the band full-time. We wanna thank Sven for all the good times we had over the last four years and we all wish him the best for his future life and family! We also want to thank David for jumping in and officially welcome him as our new bassplayer. Besides that we have launched our new website.

Well…we've met some of the most insane artists here on MySpace and with this in mind, we are looking to reach out to these freaks of nature and see what they can come up with for some future PSYOPUS t-shirts. If you think you can pull off some crazy shit for us, we'd love to see it.
Here's the situation.
- we can use up to 9 colors on the shirt. The more, the merrier.
- it can either be with our standard -PSYOPUS- logo or a logo you have created yourself
- either message our MySpace HERE <MySpace.com - Psyopus (CANADIAN DATES POSTED) - Rochester, US - Metal / Grindcore / Experimental - www.myspace.com/psyopus> with the picture or e-mail it to us HERE psyopus@hotmail.com
- send us the price you would like for the design so we can consider it when choosing what designs to work with. Remember, we're grind musicians…not the type of artists that can afford bling.
- make sure you include all of the adequate contact information.
In other news, I just saved a shit load of money changing my auto insurance to Geico.
THE ARCANE ORDER - new song available!
Danish Thrashers THE ARCANE ORDER just uploaded a new Track from their upcoming album "In The Wake Of Collisions". "The Serpent Tower" can be heard on the Metal Blade MySpace page <MySpace.com - Metal Blade Records Europe - DE - Metal / Death Metal / Hardcore - www.myspace.com/metalbladeeurope> !
So guys and dolls... This is the day you have been waiting for... a new song is ready for you guys! The song is called "The Serpent Tower" and is the 3rd track on "In the Wake of Collisions". Picking which song we should release as the first trackt was EXTREMELY difficult since all the tracks on the new record have their own specialities and sound different.
"The Serpent Tower" is along with the opening song on the record "Death is Imminent" the most extreme song on the new record and shows THE ARCANE ORDER from a much more extreme and dark angle, than the case was on our debut. We chose this song because it carries elements of the other songs as well, and it has a great dark and cold feeling to it.
Within a months time we will make yet another track available, probably the song called "Eruptions of Red" which shows another new side of THE ARCANE ORDER. That song is slower, very melodic and almost epic sounding.
The songs on "In the Wake of Collisions" are very diverse, and therefore we would like you to listen to a couple of the songs for you to get the idea of what's going on on the new album.
"In the Wake of Collisions" will be released January 11th through Metal Blade (G/A/CH/I) / January 14th in Europe.
We hope you will embrace the new song and our slight change of style with open arms. Don't forget to leave us a note!!
Cheers good people!
