Dec 31, 2003 First of all we would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! We'll be back in 2004 with full strength, with the new album and tours etc :-) Second of all we've been forced to move some of our files due to complaints from our web-provider. If it causes any inconvenience for you we apologize for that but it is out of our control. When they threaten to close down the site we don't have any other choice that to move them :-( All files are still available for download but they have been moved to other servers. /kari Dec 24, 2003 As the season of giving is upon us, we contribute to this by uploading another teaser from the forthcoming album Pristine In Bondage (already released in Japan). This track is called Coming Home. Enjoy!!! /kari Dec 18, 2003 We are proud to announce our first shows in Finland! Three shows are booked together with our Swedish companions Katatonia. 5th of February - Jyväskylä (Lutakko) 6th of February - Oulu (Loop) 7th of February - Helsinki (Tavastia) We are also working on finding suitable dates for some shows in Sweden and perhaps Norway & Denmark. We'll let you know when things are sorted out. /ronnie backlund Dec 17, 2003 Another small change has been made to the European tour in January. The gig in Granada 'Sala El Tren' January 20 has been changed to a bigger location 'La Copera' in Grenada (January 20). Today is the release day for the Japanese version of PIB. If you buy it mail us and tell us what you think or use the guestbook for the purpose. /kari Dec 16, 2003 Now we've uploaded the first English review we found of 'PIB', from the Greek webzine 'Metal Invader', to reviews. /kari Dec 02, 2003 We've received our first reviews to PIB but since they're in German we'll have to find someone who'll be able to translate them into English for us. From Metal Heart (Ger) we got 9.5/10 and from 'Heavy Oder Was' (Ger) we got '10 punkten'. We've also uploaded a new 'teaser' form PIB, this one is called Primal Nature. /kari Nov 25, 2003 We're back home from our gigs in Denmark and Holland. Everything went really well and we would like to thank all the bands we played with: Invocator, Mercenary, Symmetry and a huge special thanks goes to the cool guys in Sun Caged!!! Also a big thanks to Tjerk Maas at Loudnoise who arranged the Holland gigs and to Johan 'Iceman' Isaksson who made it all possible by driving us down there. Thanks Johan we owe you! We've uploaded some pics from the gigs mostly taken by 'Iceman' but a few also by me, Marcel, Miranda and 'Sinderella'. /kari Nov 18, 2003 As some of you already noticed (through the forum) there's a lot of cool pics from the Amaran gig (Nov 13) at Mikael Anderssons site (our former bass player). Check them out!!! /kari Nov 17, 2003 We received our promos for PIB and got the release date for the world (except Japan where it'll be released December 17).

The gig in Lille January 29 has been cancelled and replaced by a gig in Dunkerque (Fra) Les 4 Ecluses on the same day. The gig yesterday at Alcazar went very well! Thanks to thoses who attended. /kari Nov 13, 2003 A new guestbook has been added. Do sign it!!!. /kari Nov 11, 2003 Better late than never... Now there's a picture of the new line-up. /kari Nov 10, 2003 We have now also moved the bigger sized Inflict video (45 Mb) onto this server. Since this server should have a large bandwidth so download should be pretty fast depending on your own connection. /kari Nov 08, 2003 Due to a server change our site has been down for a while but now we're up and running again! We apologize for the unconvenience it may have caused. In further news the release date for the Japanese version of 'PIB' has been changed to December 17. /kari Oct 24, 2003 Our gig at Alcazar will be with ITC.
