Swedish metallers ENGEL check in with the following update:

"Things in the Engel camp never quite slow down as there are always plots to be made, schemes to try out and darstardly deeds always a foot in our bid for word domination.

Of course last month saw the realease of Threnody in Japan and the reaction has been amazing and just a measure of things to come this year.

Inspired by this we then took it upon ourselves to make another new video with our great film director friend... Mr PA Nilson, without whom we are lost and always indebted too.

We decided to try something a little different from the usual approach and what I can say is that making this video was so much fun and exhausting as well. Which song you may ask? Well i guess you will have to wait and see but I can say that its a new track from the new album.

OK, not much being given away there so you will just have to keep posting and writing comments!

The first festival appearance for Engel will be at the Getaway Festival in July that has one of the most impressive lineups ever to be seen and guarenteed to be the greatest festival in Sweden this year!

Of course, I would also say this about Metal Town in Gothenburg but seeing as they chose not to have Engel play this year... well makes it second best in my book.

More live updates as always to follow and watch this space people!"
