NEW YORK, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Gorillaz have confirmed U.S. release dates for four more components of the world-conquering Demon Days multi-media experience:

First up: This Halloween sees the release of the Phase Two - Slowboat to Hades DVD. Following up the fantastically successful Phase One - Celebrity Takedown DVD companion to Gorillaz' self-titled 2001 debut, Slowboat to Hades rounds up the Demon Days era's award-winning videos, hi-tech performances, inventive animated shorts, acceptance speeches and more.

All of these delights -- including new and exclusive content -- can be accessed through the interactive menu, a brand-new 3D DVD reconstruction of Gorillaz' online hangout Kong Studios. Viewers can wander through this decaying palace of sin and watch the breathtaking live performances in the cinema, visit the band's bedrooms, tour the corridors and find games, original animatics, cameos from some of the Demon Days guests and off-color jokes galore.

A bonus CD-Rom includes 16 fiendishly addictive games including Gorillaz.com favorites Animal Kwackers, Tiles of the Unexpected and Operation, a whole library of wallpapers and screensavers plus hidden extras. See attached content listing for more details·

Additionally, a series of EPs will become available exclusively on iTunes featuring original Gorillaz music, accompanied by previously unreleased videos and a digital booklet with images and access to bonus content like wallpaper, buddy icons and more. The roll out for the EPs is as follows:

DARE- October 24
Dirty Harry- November 7
El Manana- December 5
Feel Good Inc.- December 26

The tracklisting for the DARE EP is:
1. DARE - Demon Days Live in Harlem (Video)
2. DARE - animatic (Video)
3. Clint Eastwood Live - featuring De La Soul & Bootie Brown / The
Pharcyde
4. People (which is DARE original demo) (Audio Only)

Thirdly: Gorillaz and Kidrobot have teamed up again, following up last year's sold out run of Gorillaz figures with a multi-set toy collaboration featuring new figures of Gorillaz band members 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. The new soft vinyl figures will be available in three different color variations: 60,000 Basic editions, 1,000 2-tone and 4,000 White editions will be produced. The first set to release is the Basic set on October 16th and each figure will retail for $19.95. The White, $24.95 each, and 2-tone, $29.95 each, will release on November 2nd.

Each figure comes in a unique box with exclusive accessories and will vary in height from 6-1/4 inches to 8-1/4 inches. The Gorillaz figures will be sold at all Kidrobot stores, online at www.kidrobot.com and with other select retailers.

Finally, Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre, Gorillaz' first official autobiography is released November 2 through Penguin Books. A rock n roll autobiography like no other, Rise of the Ogre is the story of the world's most successful virtual group, as told by all four members of the band assisted by writer Cass Browne. Designed by Jamie Hewlett and his studio team at Zombie Flesh Eaters, the book will contain a wealth of new and unseen images, contributions from the band's collaborators, stolen moments behind the scenes, pictures from Gorillaz' personal albums ... and all the gossip, innuendo and scandal you'd expect from a best-selling pop group.

Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre is 256 full color pages and covers the band's unusual childhoods, early versions of the band line-up, and Gorillaz' career from the release of the Tomorrow Comes Today EP in November 2000 to the recent shows at New York's Harlem Apollo in April 2006 and the multi-platinum record sales in between.
