Earache Records report that Liverpool based crossover-thrashers SSS are finalizing plans for the recording

of their official Earache debut, due for release later in the year.

As many as 25 songs have been written during sessions for the album, with around 15 to be selected for the album itself. With drum tracks due to be laid down in April, the band hope to complete the recording with the help of Andy Mason, who also worked on the band's self titled debut.

Lead shouter Foxy elaborates further on the progress so far: "Its all systems go our end for the next record, we cant wait to get crackin' on it in the studio. We've got a load of new tracks finished and in the bag - a good mix to keep people on their toes. Plus Pushead on board to do the art - so hit puree..... the stage is set for a ripper."

SSS are currently on a UK tour with GALLOWS. Dates include:

February

22 - Newcastle, UK at Academy
23 - Glasgow, UK at ABC
24 - Leeds, UK at Met University
26 - Exeter, UK at Lemon Grove
