Escape Artist Records Signs Collapsar

Lafayette, Lousiana band Collapsar has officially joined the Escape Artist Records roster. Featuring former members of Icepick Revival, the group was formed in 2002, and according to the label, "Imagine a mix of 70's prog (ala King Crimson), the blistering riffing of 'Ride the Lightning' era Metallica, the technical prowess of Don Cabellero or Breadwinner, the rocking mayhem of The Fucking Champs, with a dash of space rock and metalcore rolled into one." Decide for yourself by checking out some of their material here. The band's self-titled, debut album will be available on February 15, 2005.

Forsaken Keyboardist Leaves

Maltese doomsters Forsaken have posted the following update:

"Regrettably, it is being announced that after more than 6 years of association, Forsaken and Mario Ellul, the band's keyboardist since 1998, have parted company. The decision matured due to difficulties in securing a band rehearsal schedule which did not conflict with Mario's commitments with his main band Weeping Silence. While wishing Mario all the very best for his future musical endeavours, Forsaken would like to express their sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Mario for his significant contribution to the band throughout these past six years.

Meanwhile, Forsaken also announce that they have no plans to replace Mario at this early stage and it is anticipated that keyboard duties for the band's next studio album will be handled by present band members. Conversely, however, it is not being excluded that another full-time keyboardist is recruited following the release of the band's much anticipated forthcoming studio album to be released by Golden Lake Productions (Scotland) in 2005.
