After a highly successful run of European festivals and select club shows, Swedish Melodic Metal band SOILWORK have started writing music for the follow-up to 2010's THE PANIC BROADCAST.

Swedish Black Metal act NAGLFAR have completed work on their sixth album, TERAS, for a March 2012 release via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS. The drum tracks on the CD were laid down by Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK).

Washington D.C based Metal band DARKEST HOUR have parted ways with drummer Ryan Parrish and have temporarily replaced him with Timothy Java (DEAD TO FALL). The band states, "Tim did an amazing job on our recent European tour with MACHINE HEAD. As for the future, that's open for discussion - no permanent decisions have been made in any way."

The CD landed at position No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
