It's been quite some time since they put anything out, but semi-legendary grindcore band General Surgery has announced plans to release a bunch of new material in the coming year. If I remember right, the band was lacking a drummer for awhile and was put on hold because of it. Anyhow, they've got a split 7" with Spain's Machetazo and a split 12" with Japan's Butcher ABC coming out on Escorbuto Recordings soon. They are also planning a split CD with US gore-grinders The County Medical Examiners that will also eventually see a release on vinyl, too. Keep your eyes peeled.
