Rising Records’ TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED - who earlier this year signed to Metal Blade Records for North America - have issued the following update from guitarist Martyn Evans:

"Hey guys we thought we would just update you on what's going on with Trigger right now.

To start with we have just finished our period of summer touring with BLEED FROM WITHIN, SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY and MESHUGGAH. Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows, bought merch or just shook our hand and told us they enjoyed our set - we loved every minute of it and we thank you for your support.

On another note thank you to everyone for giving our new members Jonny (Burgan, vocals) and Dave (Purnell, bass) such a warm welcome to the band. They're fitting in great and I'm sure people who have seen us recently will agree.

As you can see there is a large gap between now and our last tour of 2008 with CRYPTOPSY, BENEATH THE MASSACRE and our boys in IGNOM. For those of you that are wondering, yes we shall be entering the studio on October 6th to record our follow up album witch is yet to be named and released via Rising Records and Metal Blade Records some time early 2009. Expect it to be faster, slower, heavier and more brutal than ever. We are really proud with the body of work we have created and we can't wait for you guys to hear it.

We will be playing Hellfire Festival in London during this period but if you don't catch us there make sure you come see us in November.

Information on our new album will be updated soon along with title, track names, artwork, release date, etc. So keep your eyes peeled.

Along with this we will be getting a whole load of new merch - this will include hoody's, T's , long sleeves etc - we will have the merch designs up for you to see ASAP.

That's about all that's happening with us at the moment, make sure you keep checking back for updates.

See you in November."
