And speaking of Racingpaperplanes, their new album "Self sleep service" will be out on March 30 as well.
Candlelight Records will release new albums from both Khold and Cadaver (nee Cadaver Inc.) in the US on April 20. The two bands will reportedly join up with Zyklon for a US tour in the near future.
The Haunted have announced that "Subliminal Messages of Suicide Promotion" from fan Conner Tadena was the winning entry in their album title competition. They won't be using for the new record, but it may turn up at some point in the future.
Michael Monroe, soloartist and frontman of Finland's Hanoi Rocks, just recently did one of the infamous 20 questions with... sessions on the Metal Sludge Webzine in which he talked a lot about the 80s and his past relationships with bands like Guns n' Roses and Mötley Crüe. Of course, he wasn't too kind about the titling of the new Crüe box-set "Music To Crash Your Car To" since Hanoi drummer Razzle was killed in a drunken driving accident with singer Vince Neil. No surprise there, right? Anyhow, Nikki Sixx felt he had to weigh in on the situation and posted a rather venomous response on the message board.

Thomas Dybdahl had his laptop stolen from the lobby of Hotel Royal Christiania in Oslo which means that he's lost somewhere near six months of work. He pleads that the person will realize the tremendous value of the harddrive contents and return it to the hotel. No charges will be filed.
This is somewhat amusing: Lord K of The Project Hate hosts the game "name that martian" where he shows pictures to people and has them guess who they are: http://www.statikmajik.com/gd/namethat/martian04.php
Dungen is apparently working on a new album due out around mid-May. Otherwise, Gustav Ejstes is working mostly as a solo artist and collaborating with people such as Reine Fiske and Fredrik Björling.
Prime STH will be having a record release party for their new album "Beautiful Awakening" on March 11 at Öst 100 in Stockholm.
Word on the street has it that Supersilent will be playing the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in East Essex, UK on March 27. Unless you already have tickets this probably doesn't matter much because it's sold out.
Denmark's Rollercoaster 23 has decided to end it all. The band's last show will be at the Sally Family Festival at 013 in Tilburg on April 24.
Between Us has been forced to drop off the scheduled European tour with fellow Swedish hardcore act The Change. It seems that they've accidentally double-booked themselves with work and school so a tour just couldn't happen at that time. Look for rescheduled European dates around late summer/early fall.
