Fans of Brazilian death metal need not hold your breath any longer. South America's most revered death metal band, KRISIUN are set to release their next album early next year. An official press release states:

Right after wrapping up their last European headlining tour world's hyperspeed death metal outfit KRISIUN completed the work for their upcoming album „AssassiNation" which is tentatively scheduled for a late February release in Europe and North America. After recording two albums in their native country Brazil the trio went back to Stage One Studios in Germany's B?hne to work with Andy Claassen - a winning team very similar to the one that has already produced their 2000 classic "Conquerors Of Armageddon".

""AssassiNation" is the heaviest album we have ever done. I can assure you that it was a top quality recording at Stage One Studios, this album captures all the fury and brutality of the band\'s live performances and it's also a great combination of heaviness and precision that we never had on our albums before. The album will be out in the beginning of 2006, and we\'re definitely gonna make a relentless round of live shows in Europe, so I see you all extreme metal maniacs on the road! Get ready for the "AssassiNation"!" Max and KRISIUN
