Synchestra has been extremely well received, more than any other DT records. it made the charts in France, Germany and Finland so we would thank each and everyone of you that managed to get a copy. The DTB released a video for 'Vampira'. This video is available in the Fan section. This video is very funny and maybe not what you expect from an album like Synchestra but we hope it gets some attention anyway.

On the other side, Devin has been busy recording the new Strapping Young Lad record that will be released on July 10th. "The New Black" features 10 songs and will be mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica)

Here is "The New Black" official Tracklisting:

* Decimator
* You Suck
* Antiproduct
* Hope
* Wrong Side
* Monument
* Far Beyond Metal
* Fucker
* Almost Again
* Polyphony
* The New Black

Bonus tracks

* The Long Pig

Century Media Records is re-releasing SYL's "Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing" in Europs on June 12th. This re-issue features a re-mastered version of SYL's classic debuts, 4 bonus tracks, the S.Y.L video and a 12 pages booklet with extended liner notes from Devin.

To finish, a European tour was planned for the DTB in May but we apologize as it was forced to be cancelled. The reason is not for Ozzfest or the new SYL record but Devin and Tracy are going to have a baby so they needed to be together for the first part of the pregnancy and medical tests. The baby is due in October which will postpone any touring until 2007.
