We're glad to announce a September 25 release date for our third album entitled ROCKWOLF (Dockyard1 Records). We are very happy about that since we have had some bigger problems the last few months: For a while it was even unshure, if our new album will be released at all. Just as our Label wanted to start with the promotion, the worldwide licensee (SPV) went bankrupt. In the following weeks and Months our Label worked really hard and got finally a new worldwide setup that will make Dockyard1 stronger than ever. A big Thanks goes out to our Label Manager Christine for her commitment, her honestly and especially for her belief in THE ORDER. We're glad to work with you! Thanks Christine.

In the meantime we booked some shows for this fall and we are glad to announce the following dates (more in the pipeline):

04.09.09 - Back To Rock Festival, CH-Reiden
05.09.09 - Downstairs, CH-Worblaufen

28.11.09 - Sommercasino, CH-Basel

THE ORDER Drummer Mauro "Tschibu" Casciero has left GURD, the Swiss band that formed out of the ashes of the power-thrash metal legends POLTERGEIST. He says in a statement, "This decision has only personal reasons. There are neither conflicts with the band nor the infamous musical differences."

He adds, "The main reason is that I will finally be father for the first time around end of this year. After more than ten years, time has come to cut down a little bit and redefine my priorities."

He continues, "In 1999, I joined GURD as part of the 'Bern package'. I did hundreds of shows, two European tours together with PRO-PAIN, recorded five albums (including a live DVD) and had a lot of rock 'n' roll with my GURD buddies. This decision was not easy. But I am convinced that this is the right way for me and my family. No booked shows will be cancelled, I will play all of them until the end of the year. Besides, I will stay with my other band THE ORDER."
