Danish metallers Mnemic will enter the Antfarm Studios in Aabyhøj, Denmark, in February 2012 with producer Tue Madsen to begin recording their new album for a June 2012 release via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band posted this statement on their official website: "With the release of last year's Sons Of The System, Danish modern metallers Mnemic have undergone quite a few changes. Keeping quiet, doing only select shows in 2010, the band never toured properly, and never discovered the demand for their style and music. Today, the band is praised and being recognized as part of the djent music scene, a genre created by the polyrhythmic pioneers of metal, Meshuggah."

According to an interview with their bassist Mikael Hedlund, Swedish extreme metal veterans Hypocrisy are writing material for a new studio album, which they plan to record next year.

Mikael Hedlund told Metal Shock Finland: "We're focusing on writing a new album. That's the most important thing for us at the moment. It's too early to say what it's going to sound like but all I can say is that it's not gonna be any change of style. It will be a classic Hypocrisy album without no compromises. We already got some material and we're really looking forward to enter the studio again. We don't know yet when it will but hopefully after the summer 2012. Nothing is confirmed yet. We're doing the MetalFest tour in May/June plus some other festivals. That's the plans at the moment."
