SUICIDE SILENCE - "The Cleansing" release date and on tour with Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead

SUICIDE SILENCE's amazing album "The Cleansing" will finally hit the UK on 31st March 2008 (Mainland Europe release date February 18th) Upon the US release of the album SUICIDE SILENCE made a huge statement to the metal world by entering the US Billboard Top 200 chart at #94, which marks the highest debut ever for a new Century Media artist.

SUICIDE SILENCE adheres to no preconceived notions and refuses to be pigeonholed into any specific genre. Their music clearly represents their many influences, incorporating a savage mix of death metal, grindcore, black metal, hardcore and doom elements into each track. The songs are dynamic and crushing, shifting effortlessly from insane grind chaos into surgically precise, disorienting time signatures topped off with snail-paced grooves and destructive breakdowns. Check out songs from "The Cleansing" at: http://www.myspace.com/suicidesilence

In spring 2007 they entered the studio with John Travis (Kid Rock, Static-X) to record their debut full-length while the renowned Tue Madsen (Dark Tranquillity, The Haunted) handled mixing duties. Its outstanding artwork was done by the legendary Dave McKean (Sandman comics, classic covers for Machine Head, My Dying Bride, Testament, Fear Factory).

The devastating quintet from Riverside, California separated themselves from the underground through an undying work ethic and undeniable live performance. Not only did the band tour North America relentlessly with the likes of Unearth and Darkest Hour, but also went headlining for Despised Icon, Winds of Plague and Walls Of Jericho as well as simply ruling the UK on their first visit in 2006. Now, it will be time for their first tour all over Europe with Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead.

Vocalist Mitch Lucker comments:

"We're extremely pleased to be hitting the road once again with our friends in Bury Your Dead. We had a blast touring with them in the states and now it's time to conquer the other side of the world on a great package featuring Parkway Drive as the headliner. We're not really sure what to expect as we'll be playing in many of these markets for the first time, but hopefully the European fans will live up to all the crazy things we've heard about them. See you on the road!"

ONE MAN ARMY - Pekka leaving the fold

ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET, the Swedish band featuring former THE CROWN vocalist Johan Lindstrand, has parted ways with rhythm guitarist Pekka Kiviaho.

Commented the group in a statement: "Pekka has been in this band for three years now and he has been a true friend and a reliable member of the ARMY, mark my words. This decision is something that we have suspected for a while, though, based on lack of motivation and commitment. We had a discussion about this topic last week and just a few days ago Pekka came to realise that he couldn't commit to all the terms that is basically all about being in this band 110%. We can't have it any other way. That's why this band has come this far. Because people push it forward. So don't worry, fellow ARMY fans. We will not be weakened by this setback. I would rather say that we will be stronger. I see positive on getting new fresh blood into this circle to get the machine going on full speed again.

"The remaining four of us are extremely motivated into making a new killer album, and luckily the main songwriters are still in the band. We are currently working our asses off with writing new material and we've already got a title for the next release and the cover art is on its way. It's a Swedish guy doing the cover art this time so you can say that there's a lot of changes for this third album. Changes that mean a new fresh start for the ARMY, new grounds to break and a new positive thinking towards the future."

Pekka Kiviaho said in a statement: "This is it. My time as an UNDEAD being is over for now. There is no bad blood between us, just a new chapter both for me and ONE MAN ARMY. My future plans in music will carry on with an album recording with FRACTION OF CHAOS during February 2008.

" A big hail goes out to the guys! Thanks for all the great stuff we have experienced together. Both on and off stage! I would also like to send a hail to all the great ARMY fans out there, Hein, Ted, Simon and all the other crazy fu*kers around the globe! One UNDEAD dude signing out."
