Long-running UK extreme metallers BENEDICTION have issued the following update:
"We will be teaming up with our mates WOLFBRIGADE to release a limited 7" EP in August/September. We will have two tracks each on it and they are all unreleased songs. This will be limited to 2,000 pieces worldwide. Also, a picture disc will be available in a limited run of 500 copies. It will be released by Feto Records.
"The WOLFBRIGADE tracks are 'War From Within' and 'The Enemy: Reality'. The BENEDICTION tracks are 'Hell's Gate' and 'Largactyl'.
"This version of 'Largactyl' will be a different version to the one on the [upcoming BENEDICTION] 'Killing Music' album. We have a new guest on lead vocals. He is an innovator of the crust/punk/metal scene, but you will have to wait until the release to find out who it is!"
BENEDICTION's new album, "Killing Music", is scheduled for release on August 22 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Organized Chaos" was produced by ANAAL NATHRAKH mastermind Mick Kenney and features several guest musicians, including Karl Willets (BOLT THROWER), Kelly Shaefer (ATHEIST), Billy Gould (ex-FAITH NO MORE), The Fog (FROST), Markus Staiger (Nuclear Blast Records owner) and Thorsten Zahn from Metal Hammer Germany.
