GOREFEST Hitting the studio

Reunited Dutch metallers GOREFEST have posted the following update on their official web site:

” Next month, July 2005 and part of August, we will camp down at the Excess studio in Rotterdam with engineer Hans Pieters to record our fifth studio album. We have about 15 songs to record, of which we will pick about 10 to put on the album. Mixing will be done by Danish knob-toggler Tue Madsen at his home studio in Denmark in August. Tue is known for his work with MNEMIC, THE HAUNTED, ABORTED, DISBELIEF, BORN FROM PAIN and many others.
At the moment we are finishing up on the songs and breaking our heads over how to play them. As of yet we have no title to give you, we'll get back to you on that one. During our stay in Rotterdam, a studio report will be posted on our website on a regular basis. We will let you in on the progress being made and give you an insight in typical recording processes like: girlfriend interference, ego struggle, black eyes, break-up, re-reunion, the breaking of strings, drumheads, studio interior, and so on.” The release of the album is scheduled for November.

In other news, on July 18 NUCLEAR BLAST will be reissuing the entire GOREFEST back catalogue, complete with unreleased tracks, demos and other rarities. The following three two-CD sets are currently scheduled for release:

ť MindlossŤ (1996) + early demos
ť FalseŤ (1993) + ťEraseŤ (1995) + demos
ť Soul SurvivorŤ (1996) + ťChapter 13Ť (1998) + rarities

Everything will be remastered, and booklets will contain liner notes by renowned Dutch journalist and writer Robert Haagsma, along with many pics from the band's own private stash. In addition, NUCLEAR BLAST will throw in a cool box in which to store all the CDs from the collection.
