"It's time for a quick update from the Gossow/Arch Enemy front.

Arch Enemy:

'Arch Enemy were created as a mutation, using eggs from a beaver, combined with tissue from Angus Young's scalp; The creation of the Swedish Secret Service, (and their own devsion of Linkin Park scientists). Initially rejected, the project was waylaid with the advent of Jay Z, however later invstigations found that the project had escaped. Great deals of tax revenue and record label money was spent trying to locate the escapees, by now in their second year of development.

Reported sightings took place across Ohio, and Halmstad, however none of these were confirmed by the CIA (who had stepped in to aid in the search. The force consisted of one man, due to the recent 9/11 attacks). In 2001, the project resurfaced, in the guise of a Heavy Metal band, fronted by a flesh eating Lidl zombie codenamed 'Angela'. In this particular in-fighting within the group caused previous leader 'Codename: Johan' was eaten during a particularly vicious game of Pokemon Cards.

Project Arch Enemy now circulates Gatherings of Heavy Metal fans, drawing energy from the Kenetic energy of Mosh Pits, ever growing stronger and gaining popularity. This energy is regurgitated afterwards in the forms of plastic disks, adorned with the souls they take. These disks work as normal CDs, the only exception is that these rare coveted items cause Emo Kids' heads to explode.'

So - now you know. We cause heads to explode. How metal is that?!"

Your little zombie,

Angela
