Nornagest (vocals, guitars) had a few words to preview the tour: "Its been a few month we've been to Germany and a few shows suffered of technical problems and some locations were not always the best for a BM band, we hope with the next shows to cover up some of the shows that "could have been better".
Since releasing Tetra Karcist, touring as a featured act on last year's groundbreaking and sold out AMSG tour, ENTHRONED has been on a roll.
They reached Legacy's German Metal Charts at the 12th position and played sold out and killer shows over Europe.
ENTHRONED is now working on the follow up to "Tetra Karcist" to be release on Regain Records.
In the mean time, the band unleashed their new web site check them out:

| 25.05.2008: MELTDOWN - studio update, vol. 3 |
Singer/guitarist Dan Wetmore of California based Thrash Metal heads MELTDOWN has just issued another update from the studio.
Hey Folks! Right now all tracks with the exception of vocals have been finished.
We're really pleased how everything is turning out. Because the remainder of the vocals will be finished in Los Angeles, this gave us some time to go over the mix with Andy Classen and make sure that everything sounded perfect. In addition to recording, we also had the opportunity to shoot a music video for the song One By One. Maurice Swinkels of LEGION OF THE DAMNED shot the clip and is currently editing the footage. Currently we're back in Los Angeles trying to pay rent. What's new?

| 29.04.2008: MELTDOWN - tales from the studio crypt |
Thrash Metal’s new blood MELTDOWN have just sent an update from Andy Classen’s Stage One Studio where they are in the middle of the recording of their debut album Executioner.
Guitarist & vocalist Dan Wetmore: Hey everyone, we're here in Stage One Studio recording our debut album, coming out on Nuclear Blast entitled Executioner. Right now Adam is finishing up drum tracks and we're hoping to start recording rhythm as soon as possible.
It's great to be working with someone like Andy Classen who has experience in recording metal. So far everything sounds really brutal. When we're not pumping out tracks, we're fucking around and gorging ourselves on beer and Nutella. Being in Germany kicks ass!
Until next time, cheers from the studio.

| 29.04.2008: DESTRUCTION ENTER HANSEN STUDIOS AND REVEAL TITLE OF NEW ALBUM |
2008 - 25 years of German Thrash Metal history has elapsed, but still the unrelenting Thrash Monster that is Destruction is hungry, out there and on your trail !! The degeneration of the human race human can be delayed no longer.
Perfectly transforming this ethos into 10 destructive new Thrash hymns including blistering moments such as "OFFENDERS OF THE THRONE", "UNDER COMPULSION" or "DOOMED TO DEVOLUTION", this upcoming album will re-write Thrash Metal history! Meaner and more musical than ever before, the German metal originator reports back after three years without a new studio record! Sure, “Thrash Anthems” put down a marker, but that was bringing the past stingingly up to date. This is the future. Mark the 29th of August as an “Official” THRASH METAL HOLIDAY!!!
While we were enjoying the first rays of Spring earlier this month, Destruction’s three way killing machine was hard at work. Songwriting and final rehearsals are now complete, and Schmier, Mike and Marc will withdraw to the Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark with Jacob Hansen on April 21st.
"Celebrating 25 years of Destruction is of course an additional motivation to record a new classic”, reports Schmier with his characteristic “Code Of Honour”!! “But the band has never before been so well prepared for a recording, and the new material is very dynamic crashing straight in your face! All Thrash maniacs can now look forward to a merciless and varied album which will put its predecessors in the shade! Beware!!”
On the release front the new album is set to be released in Europe on the 29th of August 2008 (Sept. 1st in the UK). And, Destruction will then devastate the musical landscape with their historic "25th Anniversary World Tour" details of which will follow in due course. There are also plans for a full DVD release later in the year; all in the cause of celebrating one-quarter century of classic German Thrash Metal with all the faithful fans worldwide!

| 25.04.2008: MELTDOWN - sign with Nuclear Blast |
Thrash is definitely back on track – and we’re not talking about some modern hype bullshit! We’re talking about good old Thrash back from the days when METALLICA literally turned the Metal scene upside down by setting the cornerstone for a new movement and new standards in meaning of heaviness, speed and sonic brutality. So do MELTDOWN in times where fashion and polished clean vocals rule the business – well, of course they do not set new standards and so on, but they do take the Metal community back to early 1980, thrashing Metal mad like hell!
Being still young, angry and possessed by old school Metal, MELTDOWN from Los Angeles, California were immediately signed to Nuclear Blast when the label’s officials first heard their demo of 2007!
Here’s what Nuclear Blast A&R Marko Sirac has to say about the signing of this new, fresh & very promising young band: MELTDOWN are just killer! This young band ´s old school Thrash sounds fresher than it did ever before by a band of that age! These guys really have style!
MELTDOWN will enter the legendary Stage One Studios with even more legendary producer Andy Classen (LEGION OF THE DAMNED, DEW-SCENTED, NEAERA, BELPHEGOR, ASPHYX, etc. etc…) this week to record their first album Executioner which is set to be unleashed in August 2008! MELTDOWN is:
Dan Wetmore – Vocals / Guitar
Jeff Potts – Guitar
Ben Mottsman – Bass
Adam Haritan – Drums

Thank you Pontus Norgren for three fantastic years!
We regrettably have to inform you that Pontus Norgren has decided to leave The Poodles. We would like to thank Pontus for all the great times we’ve shared and wish him the best of luck for the future.
