Biography: The album is based around a roaming entity that is coming to terms with the fact that he is now a hyena. This entity is faced with dilemmas of supernatural, occupational and social natures throughout the record. 'Apocalypse In Transmetropolita' was originally going to be recorded in Kristensand, Norway at the end of the summer (parts in the studio, on the beach and in a Nazi bunker), but due to complications beyond the bands control recording took place at TNM HQ (2) somewhere in England during the first week of September in one very hot studio.

Mixing sessions continued here for a further week and the record was then taken underwater for further attention. The record was then left for three months to breathe and arrange itself, and the finishing touches are now being made to the collection of encapsulates. The final peice will be released on Sound Devastation Records (www.sounddevastation.co.uk)in April.
