FINALLY SOME NEW INFORMATION FROM THE NUCLEAR BLAST'S BAND CONTEST:

We noticed that there’s some ongoing flurry in the message board concerning the band contest. No surprise, ‘cause the deadline for submissions dates back several months now and rumours are that the whole thing just fizzled out. That is definitely not the truth!

We here at Nuclear Blast take this whole contest very seriously and therefore we’ve got to give it the time it takes, which is a bit longer than expected.

Listening to the several thousands (!) of entries not only showed us once again, that the metal-underground is alive and kickin’ like never before, but there are a lot of new and fresh bands who definitely deserve their chance, and they will get it sooner or later. It has taken a lot of time filtering out the best bands out of so many REALLY good entries.

Right now, we’re in contact with some bands and we’re confident to present the winning band by the end of June (yeah, this year!). We are terribly sorry to keep all you bands, Fans and interested Metalheads on tenterhooks, but one thing’s certain: the winnig band will kick some serious butt, so the few extra weeks of waiting will soon be forgotten. Stay metal… and stay patient!

AGONIZER'S KEYBOARD PLAYER LEFT THE BAND

Agonizer's keyboard player has left the band. The reason is the lack of his personal interest. We're trying to figure out how we'll get over this. Maybe Agonizer will make some new music without the keyboards, or with keyboards. Hard to say just now.

If there's some sad news, there's some good news also. Atte Palonagas is now the full member of the band.

NEW GIG DRUMMER TO AGONIZER

Few very good drummers advertised for the gig drummer's place. One of them, Atte Palokangas sent few videos to us and these clips really called our attention. So we visited his hometown and we played our songs with him. For our happiness we noticed that our new gig drummer is here! So the guy behind the drums at upcoming gigs is Atte Palokangas.

WORLD OF FOOLS -EP SOLD OUT

Agonizer's World Of Fools -EP, a print run of 1050 copies, is sold out about a year. We have promoted our EP about two hundred copies and the rest has been sold by a different stores and by our distributors, the Finnish Firebox Records and the German Hellion Records. They have earned a huge thanks for the distribution.

So the covered EP's has been sold out, but there are still a lots of promos in so called plastic pockets, so all kind of gig organizers, webzines, magazines, radios, etc. don't have to worry.

Agonizer would like to thank everyone, who has bought the record!
