Canarias Hard and Heavy Meeting is organised by Helvette Magazine and Scream Magazine, both from Norway.

SUSPERIA are currently working on the follow up to their 2007 release 'Cut From Stone'. The band have been working continuously throughout the year and pre-production is now nearing completion on approximately ten songs. Commenting on the work to date, SUSPERIA recently stated that "Our writing sessions have had a good vibe going on, with input coming from all of us. We've disciplined ourselves more this time round and we're happy with the way it's going. It's a mix of hard and fast songs with some nice touches of melody " A tentative release is scheduled for early 2009.

SUSPERIA released their fourth studio album, "Cut from Stone", in 2007 through the TABU label in Europe and Candlelight Records in the USA. It entered the Norwegian chart at position No.18 and was the No.1 most added album on the influential CMJ Loud Rock and FMQB radio charts in the U.S.A. 'Cut From Stone' was recorded at Strand Studio, Oslo, Norway during 2006.
