Nekaj novic od basista Steva DiGorgia: Suicide Shift je naslov projekta, ki ga pripravlja skupaj s Sadus frontmanom Darrenom Travisom in Testament vokalistom Chuckom Billyjem. Pri snemanju komadov bo sodelovalo še nekaj znanih glasbenikov, kot na primer James Murphy in Per Moller Jensen (The Haunted). Glede Control Denied pa pravi, da nameravajo posneti drugi album do konca. Bobnar Christy in Chuck sta svoje že posnela, ostali pa še nič. Njune posnetke hranita Chuckova mama in hči, ki sta tudi legalni lastnici teh posnetkov. Vsi pa si močno želijo, da bi izpolnili Chuckovo zadnjo željo in posneli album do konca. /M.P./
