Sorry for neglecting the site so badly. Here's some news.

Anyhow... The Pig Pen has announced that they will be putting up an exclusive, unreleased Pig MP3 sometime before the site closes it's door. Keep your eyes peeled...

Xlover have officially signed to City Rockers, a UK Label. Also, xlover have updated their site with a clip of their version of Prince's "Controversy".

Pig "Genuine American Monster" gets released in the US 10-08-02 and will feature an extra 3 tracks... "Hard", "Silt (Locust Mix)" & "Disrupt Degrade & Devastate (Pig Mix)". Be sure to get your copy when it comes out and show Metropolis the demand for Pig! Also of note, Pig's new LP should be released in Japan sometime in October as well, hopefully following will be a US Release about a month or so later. The working title for this new album is "Lust For Lard".

Furthermore, Raymond Watts will be compiling a special Internet Only EP for the fans who want those exclusive Japanese Only Tracks, such as "Book Of Tequila". Tracklisting & Cost of CD haven't been revealed as of yet.

H3LLB3NT v3.0 is in the works, although i'm sure not much has been done at all at this point. Eric Powell announced that he'd be taking the reigns on the project. Bryan Black is still working on haloblack's followup to "funkyhell", "Throb" & Jared Louche is in the process of re-unifying Chemlab and making an album.

Slick Idiot have finished their Tour (or at least it hink they have). I saw them at the Cambridge, MA show and they rocked the house. Truly amazing performance. Also, Slick have signed to Cleopatra Records! DickNity will be re-released and properly distibuted, and will feature a bonus Remix & a Video for "Make Me Believe". Be sure to pick it up when it comes out!

KMFDM will be releasing a Live CD & DVD in the somewhat near future documenting the Sturm & Drang Tour. Odds are Raymond will be on both formats.
