US metallers BELIEVER have issued the following update from vocalist/guitarist Kurt Bachman:

"Hello once again.

I can't believe the release of Gabriel is only approximately 10 days away. Many of you who pre-ordered may receive it before then! The buzz you all have generated has been staggering and we are completely humbled by your support.

We have been busy rehearsing and doing interviews. From those in the media who have heard Gabriel, we have been getting excellent reviews and opinions. The one comment that stands out and seems to be a recurring theme is that the record gets better with every listen, so if you still don't dig it after a few listens then just throw it out or give it away!

Again, thanks to everyone for your generous support and we are stoked to be back!!!"

Worldwide release dates for Believer's new album, Gabriel, are as follows:

March 17th - US, Canada

April 9th - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Spain
