Circle Of Contempt join the army

Finnish metal band Circle Of Contempt have been forced to plan the recording of their new album around mandatory military service. 

The band released the following statement:

"It's a very tricky time in camp Contempt right now, with Finland law forcing a military trip for numerous members in January that will result in six months of service. However, until then we are currently hard at work in the rehearsal room laying down the sections for our second album that will definitely turn some heads. We are determined to create a more aggressive, dynamic and mature offering showing our continued growth as a band. Stay tuned to www.myspace.com/circleofcontempt for frequent updates and we will be back in your face before you know it."

The group's management added the following:

"It's an exciting, yet tricky time right now with members having to take time off touring for their mandatory military session, which means they will be out harder than ever come summer to make up for lost time. The new album is a real step forward and summer 2011 will see the Circle Of Contempt wave of brutality unleashed worldwide."

The new record will be the follow up to Circle Of Contempt's debut album, 'Artifacts In Motion.'
