Of course their catalog has been updated, too! So, stop by http://tahoe.sbinet.com/~cursed/catalog.html and take a look around.

In other news, they're still looking for bands to appear on their next compilation CD.  If you're interested, it's $150 for up to 5 minutes, and you'll receive 50 copies of the finished disc to sell or give away as you see fit.  This compilation disc will be completely packaged with full-color booklet and traycard.  They'll have 5000 manufactured, so it will quickly get your band's music out to a lot of potential new fans!

Upcoming releases:
AVERNUS - "Where The Sleeping Shadows Lie"
They've finally gotten the masters for this monumental re-release of
the band's classic demo, "Sadness," and several bonus tracks, for a
playing time of approximately 78 minutes!  The finishing touches are
being done to the layout now, and we're planning on having it out in
time for this year's Milwaukee Metalfest.
PSYCHOMANCER - tba
After some line-up problems caused delays with the recording of their new, as yet untitled, album (it's really the band's second album, but the first has never been released...), PSYCHOMANCER is stronger than
ever, and they expect them to finish recording very soon...
ADVERSARY - tba
They've just entered the studio to begin recording their second full-length album.  They're still discussing album titles, so if anyone has any ideas, send 'em in!
CIANIDE - tba (demos re-release)
Unfortunately, they currently don't have much new to report on this.  The band will have a brand new album out soon (maybe already!) on
Merciless Records, so be sure to check that out!  Hopefully after
that album's release, we can get things moving faster on the CD re-
release of their legendary demos.

PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS new releases

PARAGON OF BEAUTY - "Seraphine... Far Gone Gleam" Mini Cd
The new release from the Germany-based band Paragon Of Beauty entitled "Seraphine... Far Gone Gleam" deals with the dark side of the romanticism. However they were not able to present their beautiful Dark Metal to the audience at the famous Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipizig, Germany, due to the bancruptcy of the management of the festival.
 
VARIOUS ARTISTS "Lichttaufe - Der Folklore Liedschatz" Cd
This fine folklore compilation includes unreleased and exclusive material from: EMPYRIUM, HAGALAZ RUNEDANCE, TENHI, WALDTEUFEL, ORPLID, HEKATE, FORSETI, SCIVIAS, OF THE WAND AND THE MOON, SPIRITUAL FRONT and DIES NATALIS.
 
ORPLID - "Orplid" Cd
The resurrection of old German myths is their aim, which they achieve with deep and outstanding folkloristic music. In Germany, media and fans alike are astonished and welcomed euphorically their self-titled debut. 7/7 points in Hammer (Germany).
 
BLAZING ETERNITY "Times And Unknown Waters" Cd
"Nordic Night Metal" is a new category exclusively created by Blazing Eternity. Any other category would not suit the sound of the band, which shows their feeling for both, aggressive parts as well as slow and calm ones. "Times And Unknown Waters", their debut, will show the true talent of Blazing Eternity.
 
IN THE WOODS... - "Three Times Seven On A Pilgrimage" Cd
Even we were surprised by the praise "Three Times Seven On A Pilgrimage", the new In The Woods..., album received. The english
Metal Hammer claimed the record to be "...a masterpiece for the millennium" and we totally agree with that. In The Woods... were
always something special and it?s good to know the media realized this, too. 15/15 points in Legacy, 6/7 points in Hammer (Germany), 8,5/10 points in Rock Hard, 8,5/10 points in Terrorizer, 9 points in Metal Hammer (UK).

TENHI
The word "astonishment" is not strong enough to describe the feelings the finish band Tenhi must have had at this year's Wave-Gotik-Treffen. Their gig was canceled, as the stage, where they were supposed to play was not payed for and thus not anymore in existence. Tenhi then agreed to play a small accoustic gig, which was cancelled after one song, due to lack of security, an audience which had to much Met and extremists, left-winged as well as right winged, who had shown up to wait for the DEATH IN JUNE concert.
