            25 June 2009:

            First of all, the problem which occured during the duplication of
            the second batch of STENCH OF DECAY tapes is now behind me. I'm now
            catching up with all pending traders and orders.

            Talking about STENCH OF DECAY, I'm incredibly happy to announce you
            that I'll be re-releasing (in collaboration with a soon to be created
            label) their "Where Death and Decay reign" demo on 12" in September
            of this year. This 12" will feature a new artwork. Pre-orders are
            now OPEN from me.

            A bunch of STENCH OF DECAY tee-shirts will also be available at
            the release of this 12".

            BTW, I've just posted a review of the STENCH OF DECAY tape. This
            review was posted some hours ago on the mighty Voices from the
            Darkside. You can read it here. More reviews will be posted soon.

            Furthermore, mister Frank Stöver himself has recently made me the
            honour of incorporating 2 DR releases in his playlist, including

            Let's talk about MIASMAL now! The 12" re-release of their 2008       
            demo is now at the pressing plan. I should get the test press very

            you hand on this record, hurry up coz almost every copies I'll have
            for sale have already been pre-ordered! May I remind you that this
            12" is a co-release between Nuclear War Now! Prod and DR. This release
            will not be available from other distros around the world. European
            and East-European freaks should purchase their copy from me whereas
            freaks from the rest of the world should do their shopping at
Nuclear
            War Now! Prod.
.

            Regarding ASCENDED (Fin.), I will get the last 35 copies of their first
            demo tape in mid July! Do not miss this gemm, coz this band is
