SPLATTERED MERMAIDS, the Swedish death/grind band featuring members of DERANGED and VISCERAL BLEEDING, has issued the following update:

"We're busy writing new songs for our second full-length album, title to be announced very soon! At this moment we have 10 new songs and a couple more to do! We're very excited to get this out, and the songs has a good mix of what SPLATTERED MERMAIDS is known for; chunky pounding brutality and breakdown mosh parts!"

SPLATTERED MERMAIDS is:

Johan Bergstr�m - Vocals
Johan Hallberg - Guitar
Martin Sch�nherr - Drums
Martin Ekl�v - Bass

SPLATTERED MERMAIDS is working on its first-ever DVD. The disc will include live footage, studio/tour material as well as "other goodies." According to the band, "There is so much material that it could easily fill 10 DVDs but that will not happen, it will be one or two discs filled with the best live stuff and the funniest tour/studio/backstage memories."

The band's latest album, "Stench of Flesh", was released in March 2008 via the Czech label Bizarre Leprous Production.
