The Master of the macabre, King Diamond has extended his deal with Metal Blade Records by re-signing an exclusive worldwide deal. King was previously signed to Massacre Records in Europe. There are changes abound as former bassist Hal Pitino returns to the band, replacing exited David Harbour. Hal recorded with and toured on the seminal KD albums "Them", "Conspiracy" and "The Eye". With the line up set, the European leg of the House Of God tour will begin in March 2001. King and Co. will enter Nomad Recording Studios in Dallas in May 2001 to record the follow up to "House Of God". The album is tentatively scheduled for release around Halloween 2001.
Voi Vod are Currently on a short tour of their native Canada and straight after that they play three shows in Australia starting in Melbourne on the 26th of October. The eclectic trio have been demoing new material before they start work on their full album proper in November / December. The band are looking at a release early next year and touring plans will follow.
Agathodaimon is working on the successor of "Higher Art Of Rebellion", which so far bears the working title "Architectura Apocalipsei" and probably will be recorded in March 2001. The line-up is still the same, meaning that both Romanian vocalists Vlad and Byron will participate, although the band is looking for a studio in Germany to ensure a 100% convincing production again. (Last time they had to record in Romania due to immigration problems of their vocalist Vlad)
The new album of Saxon will be titled "Killing Time". the band will write and pre-produce the album in England while the recordings will take place in Germany early next year.
Currently working in FinnVox Studios are Amorphis to record their next album. It will feature twelve new songs and again Simon Efemy (Paradise Lost, Pantera) is taking care of the production. The release is set for the end of March 2001.
