Austrian symphonic metallers SERENITY have issued the following update:

"We're proud to announce that we'll be performing at Germany's Building A Force festival in Bad Rappenau/BW on April 10th, 2010! View some more info at buildingaforce.de and find nice bands like BRAINSTORM, LANFEAR or ROUGH SILK among the billing.

We will perform at Prog Power Europe 2010 in the Netherlands which will take place on October 1st - 3rd this year in Baarlo. Of course we will keep you informed about on which day exactly we'll enter the stage!! Other bands at this event will be SACRUM, LEPROUS, OCEANS OF SADNESS and eleven more! For information please visit progpower.eu.

The exact date of our show at Metalfest Austria (metalfest.eu) is May 12th, 2010. There will be a special Napalm Records label night on Wednesday evening and you can see (and of course hear) us there!"

The band have also issued the following new album update from vocalist Georg Neuhauser:

"I think it's time for a little update - we're working hard on the new CD and I can tell you some details now:

The title for the album will be Death & Legacy and we're working on a historical concept for the whole album. Nine songs are nearly finished now so there are only two more songs left to write for the limited editions (one for Europe/USA and one for Japan).

The songs so far are really fantastic! Bombastic, speedy and there’s a great ballad as well ;) There will be some interludes and we're just working on the concept for the video clip.

There'll also be an online single in advance but I can't tell you exactly when!

The album will be finished in summer but we have got no influence on the release date! The promo-pics are keeping us busy too and within the next weeks we'll have a big photo shooting and I can promise you the pictures will be something really special and new - no boring pics showing five musicians standing in front of a wall...

The next news concerning the album will follow quite soon, we'll have some guests on our new album as well - so have a guess =)!

Please be patient and we'll do our best creating a real masterpiece!!!"

Stay tuned for further updates. More on Serenity at this location.
