HIM have announced the cancellation of their fall tour. The band will not be playing scheduled U.S. shows in favor of entering the recording studio (see canceled dates below).HIM hope fans will not be let down, but rather will look forward to seeing them back on the road with new songs to share. The band have been steadily writing material for their forthcoming album and are eager to start preliminary rehearsal of very early tracks. HIM have not been able to test any new material due to their busy touring and promotion schedule. This fall will be the first opportunity for the band members to talk and work out new HIM material for a 2007 release!

The Swedish clothing chain H&M is using a version with a string arrangement of Depeche Mode's "Just can't get enough" in their new fall TV ads. Unlike previous try-outs with classical arrangements, this version (by Nathan Larson) is actually pretty good. Without any doubt the viral impact of the TV ad will now do its work. It is not the first time the band is linked with the brand. In 2004 Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan appeared in an H&M ad campaign. Source: http://www.side-line.com/

After the death of the Elis frontwoman Sabine Dünser, aged 29 on Friday 7th 2006 it was unsure that Elis would continue as a band. But Side-Line was now contacted with the request to launch the news that Elis is looking for a new singer. Following qualities are needed: "Versatile and dynamic voice, it doesn't matter if it's trained or not, you only have to carry a tune. Good English and German articulation. A professional attitude, self-confidence, charisma, good looking and an awesome stage presence are also an advantage as much as experience in song writing." If you're interested, send your data (short biography, songs, photos, contact information) to: ELIS, z.Hd. Christian Gruber, Kreuzlingerstrasse 98, CH-8587 Oberaach (TG). The late Elis frontwoman suffered a cerebral haemorrhage (editorial's note: a cerebral bleeding) during rehearsals with the band and died a day later in a hospital. The band had just completed work on the follow-up to 2004's "Dark Clouds in a Perfect Sky" with producer Alexander Krull (Atrocity, Leaves' Eyes).Source: http://www.side-line.com/

Finland’s gothic rock sensation ENTWINE returns with its fifth studio album “Fatal Design”, which will be released on September 15th, 2006 via Century Media Records (in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Benelux only – licensed from Spinefarm Records). Mixed by Finnvox's Mikko Karmila who is highly appreciated for his work with Nightwish, Children Of Bodom and many others, the band once more delivered a rousing set of potential gothic rock hits - catchy, powerful and with a gloomy sense of beauty.Drummer Aksu comments on the new album: “ ’Fatal Design’ is definitely the best album we've ever done! We have been able to get closer to all our musical roots than before and with the new producer we could approach the work on this album in a totally different way compared to our previous releases. Things worked out perfectly with Janne Joutsenniemi and he could get the best out of everyone. He really made us rock and kick ass stronger than ever before! We are extremely confident about the new material and just can't wait to perform those songs live!”
