MDD Records just issued this announcement about German thrash group Pessimist returning with a new lineup:

"Recently it was a little quieter around the thrashers Pessimist, but these days the band announces back with some news. First, the line-up was completed again, the new man on the guitar will be announced in the coming days. With this step, the live activities are re-fired and as a taster the 'Blood Will Flow' live video was published.

"In addition, after the summer is approaching a re-release of the now very out of print debut album 'Call For War,' which includes the first demo of the band titled 'Nuclear Holocaust' as a bonus. The demo is almost nowhere available for several years and will be published with the upcoming album with a remastered sound."
