ROTTREVORE
16 years after its original release, the only and ultra-mega-classic album by Pennsylvania's Rottrevore, Iniquitous, will be reissued by Xtreem Music. Originally made available in late 1993 by Drowned Productions, only 1,000 copies of the LP were pressed before the label's demise and change of name to Repulse Records [pre-Xtreem Music]. The album remained buried and forgotten throughout the years, slowly gaining true cult status and regularly selling for between 80 and 150 euros on eBay. A bootleg version of the album on 12" LP vinyl also surfaced.

Iniquitous will be properly reissued on July 1 on both CD and 12" LP format. This new version will be remastered and contain three live bonus tracks from 1992. For this, the band's guitarist/vocalist, Mark Mastro, who was also responsible of the album's cover art, provided the original version of the painting to ensure that the highest quality will be available in every format [CD/LP/shirt].

INSISION
Bassist Daniel Ekeroth has left Swedish death metallers Insision. He says in a statement, "It is with mixed feelings I threw in my sweaty towel. This is a band I have worked with so much during the last decade, I can hardly picture myself without it. I remember joining an amazing young band with loads of ideas and talent, and together we took a hell of a ride through some great albums and tours over Europe, Thailand and Australia. And it was a fucking great ride! But as my publishing and writing activities have taken an increasingly big part of my life lately, I guess I knew it was coming to an end. I simply can't find the amount of time that is required to be a part of such an ambitious and complex band as Insision anymore. I am confident that Roger, Carl, Marcus and Magnus will go on to create more amazing music in the years to come - and I will be the first in line to embrace it! As for now, I will hit back to my forest house…focusing on my next book project and also getting some much-needed rest."

Daniel's replacement in Insision is Joel Andersson, who has previously played with Immersed In Blood.

Insision 2009 is:

Carl Birath - Vocals
Roger Johansson - Guitar
Magnus Martinsson - Guitar
Joel Andersson - Bass
Marcus Jonsson - Drums [source:blabbermouth.net]
