KAYSER, the Swedish band featuring former SPIRITUAL BEGGARS frontman Spice and ex-THE MUSHROOM RIVER BAND drummer Bob Ruben, will release its new album, "Read Your Enemy", in early 2014 via Listenable Records.

Two and-a-half decades after their conception, CRIPPLE BASTARDS reign as Italy's most hostile and aggressive musical unit in existence, and are ready to prove it all over again with their newly completed debut LP for Relapse, the monstrous Nero In Metastasi. Packing some of their most dense and metallic destruction into eighteen new tracks harnessed under the thirty-seven minute mark, the album was recorded at the infamous Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordström (Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity). While retaining the riotous old-school hatecore attributes they've carried forth since formation, yet elevating their delivery to put them on par with the most cutting-edge bands in the grindcore genre, Nero In Metastasi is the next major movement in CRIPPLE BASTARDS' steadfast campaign of extreme auditory revolution.

This is an etude about a tree, which stands from year to year enjoying quiet solitude, immersed in its secret internal fluctuations.

Human develops, explores the world and himself. So much is built, progress of science is evident, timid steps into space are taken. However, he remains a captive of those laws of the universe, in which he was placed, not to mention those frames of thinking, in which he placed himself. Thrown into bondage of these dimensions, he is forced to look for the ways to escape from the ice imprisonment of his mind. To find those fragile moments that bring him to the right track of thinking and return to the right path again.

Count Basie was among the most important bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of a brief period in the early '50s, he led a big band from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later, and the band continued to perform after he died…
