'World In Darkness' off of the new album from long-running German thrashers HOLY MOSES, can be streamed online now at www.myspace.com/wackenrecordsusa. Due on September 29 in Europe (except in Germany, where it will arrive on September 26) and October 7 in the US via Wacken Records/SPV, the CD was recorded at the Blue Castle Studio near Hamburg with producer/guitar player Michael Hankel.

Agony Of Death will be made available in three different versions, each featuring the songs in a different sequence. The lavish digipack with a fold-out cover will include 12 songs plus all intros and outros in conceptual order. The regular jewel case will consist of ten tracks without intros and outros, or, as Sabina Classen calls it, "without frills and full in the face." The double vinyl edition will feature one intro and one outro per side, "sort of a golden mean between the opulent digipack and the straightforward jewel case," according to a press release. This allows every fan to choose the version they like best.

Agony Of Death track listing: 'Imagination', 'Alienation', 'World In Darkness', 'Bloodbound Of The Damned', 'Pseudohalluzination', 'Angels In War', 'Schizophrenia', 'Dissociative Disorder', 'The Cave (Paramnesia)', 'Delusional Denial', 'The Retreat', 'Through Shattered Minds'.

As previously reported, DESTRUCTION, OBITUARY and AXEL RUDI PELL members are among the guest musicians who appear on Agony Of Death. Ferdy Doernberg (AXEL RUDI PELL) contributed keyboards and samples, as well as intros and outros, and played slide guitar on 'Through Shattered Minds'. Ralph Santolla (Obituary, DEATH, ICED EARTH, DEICIDE) delivered a brilliantly haunting guitars solo on "'World In Darkness' and 'Dissociative Disorder', while 'Angels In War' features a solo by his Obituary colleague Trevor Peres. Then there are guitar solos courtesy of Janos Murri (DARKSIDE, DEMOLITION) on 'Imagination' and 'Alienation'. The album's renowned background vocalists are Henning Basse (METALIUM) on 'Schizophrenia', The Wolf (Darkside, Demolition) on 'Imagination' and Schmier (Destruction, HEADHUNTER) on 'The Cave'. And last but not least, there's AGENT STEEL's Karlos Medina playing bass on "Imagination".

Holy Moses will team up with UK's BENEDICTION for a European co-headlining tour in September/October.

Holy Moses' last CD, Strength Power Will Passion, was released in the U.S. in September 2005 via Crash Music Inc. The group's tenth album was the follow-up to 2002's Disorder of the Order, which came out through Century Media.
