The Australian thrashers, currently featuring Luke Cook (photo) on the drum throne, want to record a new song, entitled Out of the Darkness, which will will be released as a CD single.

The new song wil be released in combination with a recently shot video plus live tracks taken from the band\'s Australian tour with Anthrax.

Mortal Sin\'s new album, \"Far from Extinction\", is tentatively due in early 2006 via an as-yet-undetermined label.

In other news, Mortal Sin\'s 20th anniversary editions of the classic albums \"Mayhemic Destruction\" (1986) and \"Face of Despair\" (1989) have been delayed due to licensing problems yet to be resolved.

The Sinners are currently offering refunds to those who pre-ordered the albums. Those prepared to wait it out a little bit longer will be rewarded with a bonus CD.
