here’s what the band had to say about it:
“Damn right, we’re back. We had some long and hard negotiations with the code-crew and finally decided to re-sign for our new badass output called “The Revolution Is Dead!”.
And guess what, you’re not ready for this abomination of swiss insanity!
The real soundtrack for everything you’ve lost and everything you gonna miss. A rollercoaster of mindfucked hatesongs full of love and lots of lost dreams (but no coffe. Sorry). Free your mind and chose the wrong path. We’ll be waiting there.”

“Control Human Delete new album ‘The Prime Mover’ is Control Human Delete’s second album and follows up ‘Terminal World Perspective’ from 2007. The process of creation has been nerve-wrecking and destructive, but therefore also ended up being open minded and boundary breaking. These are the ingredients that are clearly
audible on ‘The Prime Mover’: it destroys, creates, controls, and reveals. With mutual trust and confidence from both sides, Control Human Delete and CODE666 decided to work together again to release ‘The Prime Mover’.”

Here’s the official statement from the band:
“Hey Everybody!
It’s been awhile since our last update so let us first start by saying we hope everyone had a great summer! Our summer was a bumpy one but we are looking forward to a smoother ride after our somewhat chaotic last few months. We have some changes to announce that can only be said if bad things happen for good reasons then we hope this is the case.
With a heavy heart we must inform everyone that Tas Ioannidis, vocals/bassist, has left the band for personal reasons. We fully support his departure and wish him all the best and much future success. This change came to us as a shock due to the sudden nature, during the recording of our second studio album. Sadly we had to cancel many shows that were booked, while we apologize to our friends and fans we hope you understand it was out of our hands.
After holding many auditions we are proud to reveal two new additions to the band. Takis Mark is our new vocalist and Kostas Dragon-K is our new bassist. Takis and Kostas are both great musicians that are a perfect fit for Phase Reverse. During the auditions and subsequent rehearsals its as if we have all been playing together for years!
We are now prepared and very excited to enter the studio to work on our second studio album. It is our outlook to release the album in 2013 with the blessings of Aural Music. We will be performing shows throughout the fall with the new line up so our Greek fans will have the opportunity to hear fresh new songs with the new line up before the album’s release.
See you all on the road….
Phase is with you all….
Phase Reverse”

Belgian black metallers SAILLE, formed in 2009, have entered Shumcot Studios in Aartrijke (Belgium) with producer Reinier Schenk (Gorath, Fleshmould,..) to begin recording their new as yet untitled album, for a January 2013 release via Code666 records.

Commented Saille keyboardplayer Dries Gaerdelen : “When creating our new album, I did research on and was inspired by several ancient destruction rituals. The new songs are therefore darker, faster, more aggressive and create a feeling of unease. The lyrics written by frontman Dennie Grondelaers, explore the history of those death rites. With the drums being recorded a while ago, we’ve all got a “recording state of mind” and have a feeling we’re creating more than just songs.  We’re looking forward to unleashing our creations on the audience, both on cd and live ! ”

The artwork will be created by Polish digital landscape artist Michal Karcz who also developed the bands former artwork. The mastering will be done by Tom Kvålsvoll, who previously  worked with 1349, Dimmu Borgir and Keep Of Kalessin.

Saille’s debut album, ‘Irreversible Decay’, was released in March 2011 via Code666 records.
