Hello Unknowning Victims: The band has announced the title of the new CD with be called "Drei". That's German for 3, which will be the number of releases , plus that is a reference to the album cover artwork. The album is 98% done, with some very minor details that the band wants to go over. Yes, I know, it is taking awhile to get this done but it will be worth it. All I can say is that the band put all their influences into these new songs. New vocalist, Michael Clayton Moore, does a superb job on the material as well as Sebastian Garcia, as this is his first effort with the band. Jon's bass has a different sound than the previous CD which falls into the Motorhead category and drummer Mike P gets the sound from his "live" performances. Also in other news, Marcus Acosta, guitarist from Lethal Strike will be the fill in guitarist for the next show on August 13th. Original guitarist Rod Mariani will be moving back to New Jersey, hopefully in November, and will resume his position in ArcticFlame. Oh, happy days..no more revolving doors (this news deserves a cigar)! Artwork has been discussed and planned and will be completed in a week. Let's just say it will be completely different than the other covers. It will be the latest in a great line of artists that have done the bands covers. Well it's bit hot today so I have to cool the jets and dive into the pool with a pint or two. As the cooling comes, I will be listening to some new CDs I just got (WOLF-Black Wing, RAM- Lightbringer and much to my surprise, finally, a really good WASP album, "Babylon). Flame On, Morty Stay thirsty my friends....

"Burning Their Throne", "Trophy Head" and "The Eternal" should be finished by next week. The sessions have been going great and Mike's voice, really stands out on the album. Just have to find a title.
