Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has issued the following update.

Posted on their website: "Happy new year 2012 guys and gals! The year 2011 was intriguing for us. We recorded the first half of the forthcoming album. If everything had gone as planned, we would have had our seventh album almost finished by now. However, due to some unfortunate incidents, the second recording session has been rescheduled to next spring. 

But anyway, 2012 is going to be an exciting year for us, and we're probably going to have some exciting news next year! We hope your year will be great, too!"

Darkseed have announced that Mike Schmutzer is their new frontman and singer.

The band commented: "Why a new singer? In Harry's eyes, there was no chance to reconcile live dates and his job. When we started to plan new live activities, his sight of the things came to surface... unfortunately after we announced him as our new singer and did the Poison Awaits album with him. Due to intolerable interferences like this, there was no other way than to break up with him." 

"Now we're very glad to have Mike on board. He's such a badass singer/performer and a very kind person. And the best thing is: We're ready to rock on stage again! Welcome, Mike! We are currently planning gigs for 2012 and hope to see you all."

King Of Asgard will go into the studio in early March to record their new album for 2012.

The band states: "We're glad to get back there in early March and to get some new stuff on tape. This also being the first time recording with Lars on guitar. The material for this coming release is a natural step forward for King Of Asgard. It differs quite a lot though the foundation of our musical roots still are very present. 


Tracedawn have released a new video for the song "Breed Insane". The song is taken from the band's 2012 release Lizard Dusk due out in February and the first album with their new lead singer Niko.
