...NAPALM DEATH's Barney Greenway made the following statement about the band's forthcoming CD: "After working our arses off on new stuff for the last couple of months, we kind of slipped into the studio when no one was looking. This thing is already sounding totally immense - even better than 'Code...', from where I'm standing. It's fast and furious, as you'd expect, but we're also throwing a few curveballs in, in true ND tradition. Can't wait for everyone to hear it."...

...ARCH ENEMY will release their first DVD, "Live Apocalypse," on August 8th. The DVD contains live footage, interviews and promotional video clips. Says the band's Mike Amott: "The 'Live Apocalypse' DVD is now finally complete. This shaped up to be an ultra cool 2-disc affair, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. The main show is from The Forum in London, UK (December ’04), and we also have footage from Manchester, UK in December ’05 (there’ll be 3 songs included from that). There are tons of extras and special features, as there should be. The artwork was done by Niklas Sundin of Cabin Fever Media, and we’ll be posting the cover ASAP. Andy Sneap’s audio mix (5.1 and stereo) is so heavy, it almost blew my speakers out! He really captured the live feel and power of the show; it's like you are right there in the audience. Brilliant! This DVD crushes some of my favourite metal DVDs from my own collection – and I have a sick collection. Once again, I am happy that we work with the best. They make us look and sound great.” For more information, check out http://www.archenemy.net Look for ARCH ENEMY to be back on tour in the U.S. late summer.
