TETHRA, the new Italian death/doom metal project featuring former members of GORY BLISTER, VEXED and MALUS VIVENDI, is currently writing material for its debut mini-CD. The effort will be recorded with producer Ossian, better known as the mastermind of the long-running Italian band OPERA IX.

According to a press release, TETHRA "is a project formed by musicians already known in the Italian metal scene since many years. The band revisits that particular sound dear to old MY DYING BRIDE and CANDLEMASS, in a modern and original way, also adding the wickedness typical of the first wave of Swedish death."

TETHRA is:

Belfagor (HORRID): Guitar
Clode (GORY BLISTER, SUMMONER, APEIRON): Vocals
Alex (MALUS VIVENDI, SELF DISGRACE): Bass
Mike (VEXED, SIDHE, MADHOUR): Drums

The song comes off the band's debut, entitled "Completion Integration", which was co-produced by James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) and Peter Wichers (SOILWORK), both of whom also make guest appearances on the effort. Murphy also mixed and mastered the CD, the drum tracks for which were laid down by former FIREWIND skinsman Brian Harris.

STRUCTURE OF INHUMANITY is currently negotiating with labels and looks forward to finding the right home for the band to release this "melodic metal assault."

The earth is where we came from and where go back into, the one from above and beyond us. Understanding and respecting it is understanding yourself, your purpose and destiny.

Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH will release their first-ever DVD, "Alive", in the U.S. and Canada on February 9, 2010. Produced and directed by Ian McFarland of Killswitch Productions, the DVD is comprised of live concert footage of the band performing tracks off their Billboard Top 200-charting 2008 release, "obZen", and their time-tested career staples shot during MESHUGGAH's 2009 North American tour and 2008's performance at the Loud Park festival in Tokyo. The result is a visceral, visual abduction into the band's metric insanity-in-action.

Commented MESHUGGAH guitarist Mårten Hagström: "So we finally got around to making a live DVD. People have been asking us to make one for ages it seems, so we guess it was about time. It was quite a different experience to have all those cameras around for those shows but in the end, we feel it really came out great in a 'not so flashy but more toward the gritty' type of way. More true to what we are about. Capturing what a MESHUGGAH show is like. For real... without the trimmings, so to speak... just the way both us and Ian wanted it. Enjoy!"

Belgian black metallers ENTHRONED have completed work on their eighth album, "Pentagrammaton", for an early 2010 release via Regain Records.

Commented the band: "We are very satisfied of how'Pentagrammaton' turned out; the final result of the album is exactly what we wanted to achieve: an album which can be best situated between our last offering 'Tetra Karcist' and ENTHRONED cult album 'Towards The Skullthrone Of Satan', yet adding some new elements as usual.

"The whole concept of 'Pentagrammaton' deals with direct approach: the sound is warmer than 'Tetra Karcist', natural drums, heavy guitars for a lyrical concept based on lived experiences and facts, somehow something very personal, let's say!"

Atlanta's SEVENDUST has finished recording its new album at Groovemaster Studios in Chicago, Illinois with producer Johnny K (DISTURBED, STAIND, MACHINE HEAD). The band will take a short break before mixing the effort for a tentative April 2010 release.

Commented the group: "We recorded a 'making of' the record that will also be included with the new record so you have to see the footage we have. We're excited to have this mixed and package it and send it out there to see what you think. It came out amazing and we're very proud of it.

"Gonna be fun playing these new songs live. There's all the elements of the original five members. We're completely back to what made us SEVENDUST and we think you'll be pleased."

Fredrik "North" Norrman (guitar) and Mattias "Kryptan" Norrman (bass) have both left Sweden's KATATONIA. The band states, "We respect their decision and would like to take the opportunity to collectively thank them both for all the years gone by, all the ups and downs we shared out on the road, in the studio and basically the memories and moments we shared of our 20s growing up together.

"Fredrik was with us for 15 years and Mattias for 10 years and we were lucky to have the same intact lineup going since 1999, but it's true what they say — all good things come to an end.

"We also know that out of the ashes of a setback new possibilities open up. We've already found temporary replacements for the upcoming tours and this will not affect any of our agenda or plans for 2010. Currently filling in for Fredrik on guitar will be longtime guitar tech and also guitarist of BLOODBATH, Mr. Per 'Sodomizer' Eriksson while we have Niklas 'Nille' Sandin filling Mattias' shoes on bass until we decide how to move on with the replaceable positions on a permanent long-term."

The Norrman brothers have released the following statement regarding thier decision to leave KATATONIA:

Fredrik: "This is definitely the hardest decision I've ever made. It's absolutely grievous to say the words 'quit KATATONIA,' even worse to make it happen.

"It's been 15 really good years and I would like to thank the guys in the band and all people that I've meet on the road. I'll now watch KATATONIA from your side."

Mattias: "It's with great sadness I have decided to leave KATATONIA after 10 fantastic years.

"This decision was probably the toughest I have ever made. The reason for this is many small factors that makes it hard for me to be away from home this forthcoming year. It's going to be a lot of touring in the future so the time for this desicion had to be done now. And I will point out that there is no personal argue between us in the band, just that the time for touring isn't right for me… This is not what I wanted, but family always comes in the first place.

"I would like to thank Jonas, Anders, Daniel, Fred and our crew for all those years together. It has truly been the best in my life. And a big thanx to all fans and all good friends I have made out there. You are the best and you will be missed…

"I really hope that one day when the time is right be able to continue the journey with the band.

"I wish all the best to you guys!! I'm really gonna miss the life on the road with you!"
