Canuck metal legends PILEDRIVER have issued the following update:

"The cauldron bubbles, and the mayhem mounts!!! We're Mixin' The Manifesto!!!!

Pile's triumphant reprise in aural assault is imminent!!!

FINALLY!!! REALLY!!! Honest AND for TRUE!!!!! Why would I make this up??? Am I not fat? Am I not ugly? Do I not harbour an inappropriate fondness for marmosets and their nuzzly, tasty little bellies??? Why would I lie??? Listen up...

The rumours, the quips, the comments, the questions... all for naught ye simpleminded nay-sayers, for we mount our Exalted Rent-A-Wagon in mere hours, bound in crusade for Chi-town, USA, in congress mit der Auslander hizzelf to meld our molten metal trax into the coherent caustic mayhem that is the crowning glory of the Exalted One's most misguided musical efforts to date, The Metal Manifesto!!!

In other werdz: We're off to Chicago to mix the Metal Manifesto with Neil Kernon (QUEENSRŸCHE, NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE) at RaxTrax!!!! (...geez...)

If we can manage to figure out the complicated American currency (it's in color now doncha know) and tricky internet cafe protocols (apparently you have to pay FIRST... uh huh...), we will deign to leave digital crumbs here of our exploits in Chicago at the hands of the BritishBullDad and the RaxTrax staff... if that indeed IS his name and contextual proclivity. Oh, I'll find out, alright!!! And you'll know it, cuz I'll have written it here... or Kinky or Lobo will have written it there... somewhere... what, do I have to point to where EVERYthing is? FINE! I'll keep you posted!!! RELAX ALREADY!!!!!! Don't make me COME UP THERE!!!!!!!!"
