The medical staff at UBC Hospital were able to bring Mason back, but warned family and friends that he had been near death and had they waited a few more hours, the case could have turned tragic. Mason is now recovering at home while Cradle To Grave take a break from recording their upcoming new album.

Vancouver based Cradle To Grave are currently working on their long-awaited, third studio album; the follow-up to 2008's "Texas Medicine." The veteran band - which features in its ranks Denis "Sasquatch" Barthe of Aggression and Matt Fowler of Assault/Karrion — just completed pre-production with producer Clay Haluk (Infernal Majesty, Aggression) and have entered Screen Machine Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia. The album is expected to surface later this year through Year of the Sun Records.

"Our goal with this album is to release material as relevant as Venom's "Black Metal" or Voivod's "War and Pain" albums," commented Barthe. "The pre-production sessions for the new record were awesome," added new Cradle To Grave vocalist/bassist Demon Mason. "It gave us the opportunity to make our material a little bit more in line with what Venom did with "Welcome to Hell" and "Black Metal." We can't believe how this band sounds now and we are anxious to show it to the world."
