Swedish math-rockers COARPNC have given their website a new look and posted some new mp3s for download: http://www.coarpnc.com/
8thsin's forthcoming album "Angelseed & Demonmilk" is finished and is currently being prepped for release in October. This time around the band used a full five-member live band for the recording as opposed the first album "Sinners Inc" which only featured the core duo of Michael Bohlin and It. The new album also marks the first time that It and Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy/Pain) have worked together since they did the over-the-top kvlt black-metal sideproject War way back when. Yes, Peter lends his vocals to a track on the record. More info and full tracklist: http://www.8thsin.biz/main/news/news01.html
