Razpadli so švedski thrasherji Hypnosia. Vzrok ni znan, glede na njihovo spletno stran pa ne bodo več odgovarjali na noben e-mail in dajali intervjujev. Band je v sedmih letih obstoja posnel dva albuma, pripravljali pa so trejega, ki je nosil delovni naslov Extreme Hatred. Čeprav nič uradnega še ni bilo rečenega, naj bi se pevec/kitarist Cab Catervall v prihodnosti posvečal bandu Uneral, ki ga je ustanovil s Soil Of Fate bobnarjem Chrillejem. /M.P./
