KYPCK's line-up is going
through some changes, as
K. H. M. Hiilesmaa steps
down from the
drums. It is however very possible that he will produce
KYPCK's albums in the future as well. Hiilesmaa, now
concentrating on his studio/producing work, comments:
"Making albums and for
example touring takes a lot of time, so I had to make a
very painful decision and leave KYPCK's drum stool for
someone else. I still strongly believe that the band
will bathe in rubles already in the near future."
Hiilesmaa's
replacement has already been chosen and the name of him
is A. K. Karihtala,
previously known from for example
Charon. At the same
time, live guitarist S. Kukkohovi
has been cemented into the band as a permanent member.
The band is already writing new material.

The ridiculous waiting
game with the previously mentioned label has been put to an end. KYPCK is now
looking for another record label to work with.
KYPCK's new full length
album has been completed for already 5 months now, but
surprisingly and extremely frustratingly the agreement
between the band and their new record company still
remains unconfirmed.
Recording the album
the band was under the assumption that everything was
clear, but that turned out to not be the case. The band
now hopes for an autumn release for the new album.
Despite numerous requests there will be no live shows
until the new album is out.
KYPCK is currently in the
studio recording the band's second album.
A new section, The Art
Of Rust, has been opened under
Propaganda.
