Anglo-Chilean thrasher CRIMINAL have issued the following update from Anton Reisenegger:

"Hi everybody,

There’s quite a lot going on at Criminal HQ at the moment, so I thought I’d just give you a little update...

We finally managed to finish the vocals and mix of the three tracks we recorded late last year. I’m listening to the demo as I write this, still having a hard time deciding which track to post on our page, as they’re all really different from each other and I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression in terms of the direction of the new stuff. All three tracks came out really really cool in their own way and I can’t wait to finally do the new album. It’s been too damn long again! I’ll definitely let you know by blog/bulletin when the new track is online so watch out for that!

In the meantime we’ve lined up a couple of UK gigs for the beginning of May:

May

2 - Colchester, England - Arts Centre (with ELIMINATION, REBIRTH, one more TBC)
3 - Braintree, England - HOG’s (with BRAINCHOKE, one more TBC)

We might add a third date on the Thursday or the Sunday (or both?), so if you know of a promoter/venue who’d want to book us, please give the poor fools our contact info or contact us through our page! As soon as everything’s confirmed we’ll get a flyer done for you to re-post and spread to your channels!

We’re now up to over 5,000 friends and over 60,000 profile views on MySpace... No idea what that means, but it’s cool that most of you really seem to take your time to listen to our stuff and the general response has been overwhelming. What amazes me still is, after the band has been around for all these years, there’s so many people who have never even heard of us, but there you go, that’s what the Internet is for.

We’ve got a new T-Shirt design up for sale on our page! Well, the design is not really new, it’s the Virgin Logo from "Sicario", but this time on a black shortsleeve shirt. Looks really cool and is only 12 Euros including shipping to anywhere in the World! Just go to our MySpace page, choose your size and pay by PayPal! Easy, innit?

Finally I just want to draw your attention to the EPK we recently completed, which was directed by our good mate Roberto Fuentes.

Take care and see you soon!

Anton."
