A new track from the upcoming "Furor Arma Ministrat" of DISSENTER entitled "The Ashes Of Temples" has been added to the MP3 files section.

Polish death metal assassins namely DISSENTER have finally finished recording process of their fourth, long awaited full lenght album entitled "Furor Arma Ministrat". The recording session took place at well known Polish Hertz Studio, Białystok. In the meantime Jacek Wiśniewski has drawn the album cover. Follow with Stoker's (guitarist and this time also the main composer) opinion, you can expect just another killing album, full of twisted riffs, sick melodies and filthy sound. The band experimented a lot with different elements, so beside really fast cuts you will also hear some slower, crushing moments like in "The Earth Turns Into Hell" or "Suffering Sent In Mercy" which is a really slooow song. "Furor Arma Ministrat" is just heaviness, power & arrogance transformed into one body. The album will see the light of the day on 25th of June, attached to 3/2005 issue of Thrash'em All Magazine. This sick, devilish record will contain the following anthems: Inferno, Lava of Hatred, The Earth Turns Into Hell, The Ashes of Temples, Suffering Sent in Mercy, Admired Masterpiece, Mournful Altar, Death's Sacrament, Legion of Darkness, Never Underestimate...

TRAUMA has just finished writing process for band's new album entitled "Determination". This time the guys wrote much more diverse stuff, precisely 8 killing cuts, not concerning about their "stylistic correctness". Currently the band is working at Hertz Studio, recording the album under Sławek & Wojtek Wiesławsci supervision. You can expect only skullcrushing sound. The credit for lyrical concept of the album goes to Łukasz Szurmiński (Anarcha 93) and Chudy- the vocalist of TRAUMA again. The album is going to be released in August, enclosed to 4/2005 issue of Thrash'em All Magazine.

Less than two months has left for the recording session of the fifth full lenght album of fuck'n'rollers from Alcoholic Commando Breslau.

Over a few past months ELYSIUM has been intensively working on the new stuff. Follow with band's members opinions- everything has been going great so far. The album will contain 9 or 10 new cuts, about 40 minutes of pure metal blast all in all. The new album, under a working title "Empire" is going to be the heaviest thing the band has ever created. You can expect something in the vein of bands like TESTAMENT, NEVERMORE, SLAYER or THE HAUNTED. The album will see the light of the day on December, enclosed to 6/2005 issue of Thrash'em All Magazine.
