Peter Andersson reports that he his finished with the next Raison d'Etre album and it will be called "The stains of the embodied sacrifice". No official release date yet, but he says to expect it in about two months via Cold Meat Industry. In other news, he is also deep into his next project, a digital archive of every composition he has made since 1991. So far he has assembled all of the old data and gear, but it will be quite an undertaking to combine the two, so don't expect anything in the immediate future.
