ADDICTION feature in their ranks guitarist/vocalist Alex Guadagnoli, who auditioned for the Derrick Green's slot in SEPULTURA in 1997 by submitting a recording of his vocals over an instrumental demo version of 'Choke' (off SEPULTURA's Against release). ADDICTION is currently looking for a label to release Doubt The Dosage in territories outside Italy.

GODFLESH recently demoed almost an album's worth of new material at their own Avalanche Studios and are presently looking to sign a new record deal following their split with Earache Records shortly after the release of 1999's Us And Them effort (a parting-of-the-ways that was reportedly due to the band's belief that their recordings were not being promoted properly). GODFLESH are hoping to enter a studio in Wales, UK in the next few weeks to record the new CD, the first time since 1992's Pure that the group will use a commercial recording studio to record an album. Among the tracks set to be included on the upcoming effort are:
...
01. Beyond Good & Evil
02. Anthem
03. Birthdeath

CENTINEX's gig in Stockholm, Sweden on March 18th has been cancelled due to a 'broken leg', according to the band's official web site. No further information is available at this time.
BROWN, the new group founded by (former?) C.O.C. drummer Reed Mullin (who plays guitar and sings lead in the new band) and producer John Custer (i.e. C.O.C., DAG,CRY OF LOVE),were recently selected as the 'Featured Alternative Artist' on FarmClub.com, where three of the band's songs, 'Jenifer', 'Remember Me' and 'Satellite', are currently available for download. The band is asking all their fans to help them out and get them on the Farmclub TV show (on the USA network) by voting for them via the Farmclub.com web site. Interested parties can do so by clicking here. It should, however, be noted that BROWN's musical direction is more akin to a poppier FOO FIGHTERS than the guitar-edged sounds of Mullin's 'other' outfit, so hardcore C.O.C. fans beware!
