Chile's CRIMINAL In The Process of Switching Labels

August 4, 2008

Guitarist/vocalist Anton Reisenegger of the Anglo-Chilean thrash masters CRIMINAL has issued the following update:

"The show with MEGADETH [on May 31 in Santiago, Chile] was awesome and I want to thank everyone who went and showed us their support. There were some comments about the sound not being the best, but that is something that escapes our control, especially if you're opening for a mega-band like MEGADETH. But at the end of the day I think everyone involved had a good time and the 20+ hour trip was well worth it. We hope to be able to post some videos from the show in the near future, but in the meantime here's some pictures.

"We are continuing work on the new album and there's loads of material already, so much so that this will probably be the first time we'll have to leave stuff out. Even Dan contributed a super brutal, straight-ahead metal song, so it looks like it's going to be quite a varied record. We hope to begin tracking in September, but unfortunately the album won't be released until early 2009, the reason being that we're in the process of switching labels. More about that once it's official. So I ask you to have just a little more patience, and rest assured it's going to be worth the wait.

"In other news, about a month ago I started doing a show for Santiago's Radio Futuro. It's called 'Disco Duro' (Hard Disc) and airs every Sunday from 21:00 to 23:00 (Chilean time). You will probably guess what it's about... pure fucking metal of course! You can listen to it online at www.futuro.cl.

"Soon (and this time I mean it) we will post one of the new songs in demo version, so watch out for that!"

CRIMINAL's fifth album, "Sicario", was voted one of the Top 10 Albums of the Year in Terrorizer magazine's 2005 Readers' Poll.

CRIMINAL recently uploaded a brand new EPK (Electronic Press Kit) to its YouTube channel. Directed by Roberto Fuentes, the video features live footage from the band's December 2007 performance at Teatro Novedades in Santiago de Chile, as well as an interview with frontman Anton Reisenegger. Watch the EPK below.
