German extreme metallers NEAERA have issued the following update:

"Due to the great demand in ticket sales we have decided to move the record release show for Forging The Eclipse, on October 23rd, to the Sputnikhalle in Münster. Again, we want to invite you guys to come and party with the support bands and yours truly! The evening will continue with the Sounds Of The Underground party to which every ticket owner will of course be granted FREE ADMISSION!!!"

Neaera recently posted the second song off their upcoming new album 'Forging The Eclipse' on their Metal Blade Records landing page. Surf over to here to check out 'In Defiance'.

Comments the band: "In Defiance deals with the profound feeling of inner emptiness and exhaustion that we all may feel at a certain point in our lives and with the great importance of remaining steadfast and staying focused on the goals you have and the dreams you want to turn into reality. Whatever setbacks you experience, whoever tells you you can't do something when you know you can, make use of every defeat to come back stronger, and don't let those people and their negative attitude win. Don't give resignation any room to breathe. Don't live in negative reflections of what may or may not become, but use what's inside of you to work for the moment and thus influence your fate. Stay open hearted and creative and pave your own path. This is the essence of 'In Defiance'! We hope you guys dig it! Please check it out and feel free to tell us your thoughts, we're very much looking forward to your feedback!"
