SUFFOCATION (www. suffocation.us )

- Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of death metal legends SUFFOCATION. The band will issue its new full length release, Souls to Deny, in Spring 2004.

- SUFFOCATION, (Frank Mullen - vocals, Terrance Hobbs - guitar, Guy Marchais - guitar, Josh Barohn - bass, Mike Smith - drums) one of the most influential and emulated bands in the history of extreme music and the pioneers of the now-infamous 'New York death metal sound', return to the Relapse label after releasing the now classic albums Effigy Of The Forgotten (1991), Breeding The Spawn (1993), and Pierced From Within (1995) via Roadrunner Records.

- SUFFOCATION, who headlined the sold-out 2003 installments of the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, Maryland Deathfest and Milwaukee Metalfest(s), recently unveiled a brand new song, entitled "Deceit". The as-then-unsigned band's video for "Deceit" made its world-premier on FUSE's (formerly Much Music) "Uranium" program this past June and, as a testament to their universally-recognized impact on the genre, the band was profiled on both "Uranium" and MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" without the influence of label backing.

- JUST ANNOUNCED! SUFFOCATION has been confirmed to appear at the 2003 MassConcerts Presents: NJ Metal and Hardcore Festival, November 14th and 15th in Asbury Park, NJ . SUFFOCATION will join an impressive lineup of Relapse's finest including labelmates MASTODON, THE END, NILE, DYSRHYTHMIA, BONGZILLA and TODAY IS THE DAY. Keep an eye on the 'Events' section of RELAPSE.com and /or www.njmetalandhardcorefest.com for more details!

vidnaObmana (www.vidnaobmana.be)

- vidnaObmana is currently completing work on his haunting Dante trilogy for Relapse/Release. Legacy follows critically-acclaimed albums Tremor and Spore.
Fresh from performing Spore material live in the States and Europe, the power of dynamics and the fusion of the present with the past hits a maximum level on Legacy. The trilogy's third album will also feature surprising and very complimentary contributions from some of the most talented musicians outside the ambient realm. Towards the end of this year we'll reveal more details about the anticipated closing chapter of vidna's Dante trilogy.

- A video for the track "SkinStrip" (from Spore) has just been completed! "SkinStrip" is the first ever vidnaObmana music video! Shot at one of the most fascinating factories in Antwerp (Belgium) just prior to its demolition, the video was produced by www.vidnaObmana.be webmaster and talented visual artist Patrick Ceuppens.

- vidnaObmana just completed the soundtrack to Berrios' new short film 'Other People'. You can expect this very beautiful and profound new movie online soon at www.vidnaObmana.be.

- "Nightmarish textures and trance-like ambience...truly unforgettable"
- REAL DETROIT WEEKLY

ZEKE (www.zekeyou.com)

- Seattle's celebrated speed punk trio ZEKE have signed to Relapse Records. The high-powered group will release their much anticipated new full length in Spring, 2004.

- Drawing influences from Judas Priest, Motorhead and Iron Maiden amongst others, ZEKE's brand of hardcore speed rock mixes punk nihilism with a hard hitting metal extravagance. The band's signing with the Relapse label follows stints on both Epitaph Records -- where ZEKE issue their Kicked in the Teeth (1998) and Dirty Sanchez (2000) albums -- and the Aces & Eights label, who issued what is widely considered the band's finest release to date, 2001's Death Alley.

- RIDE WITH ZEKE!!!

- "Sheer brute punk strength. Punk's got young, loud and snotty again, only played just a little faster". - MONTREAL MIRROR
- "An adrenalized cocktail of speed and combustive punk rawk...unchecked aggression and shameless thrash-mongering on a search-and-destroy mission".
- WILLAMETTE WEEKLY
