NYHETER UKE 4 - 2009 BON IVER BLOOD BANK Jagjaguwar JAG 134 0656605213422 Fire splitter nye låter fra en av 2008s mest omtalte og kritikerroste artister, BON IVER! Utgivelsen har allerede fått massevis av oppmerksomhet så regn med etterspørsel etter denne. Tracklisting: Blood Bank / Beach Baby / Baby’s / Woods. CDEP Hør tittelsporet her: http://www.myspace.com/boniver 2CD TIGER LOU A PARTIAL PRINT Startracks STAR 1531212 7332315312121 Det tok 3 år med turnering og hardt studioarbeid før TIGER LOU var klar med oppfølgeren til kritikerroste The Loyal. Resultatet er et av de mest gjennomførte og stemingsfylte albumene som har kommet fra Sverige på svært svært lenge! Her er det ingen billige effekter eller trasige nødriff, men en dyster og majestetisk besluttsomhet som griper deg, og holder fast fra albumåpner The More You Give nærmest motvillig drar i gang det hele, til det drøyt 9 minutter lange tittelsporet ebber ut, og etterlater deg lengtende etter mer. Musikken drar veksler på alt fra THE CURE, INTERPOL, MARK KOZELEK og A PERFECT CIRCLE til landsmennene i LOGH, ISOLATION YEARS og HELLO SAFERIDE. Første opplag inneholder en bonusdisc der samtlige låter forefinnes i fjonge remix-versjoner. ”Ett ord - lysande!” 5/6 – NÖJESGUIDEN ”…en kalasbra skiva.” 4/5 – GROOVE ”Det är deppigt, vemodigt och samtidigt skört. Som en vinterdepression som det sprakar och gnistrar om.” 4/5 – SUNDSVALLS TIDNING EAGLES OF DEATH METAL HEART ON (New Edition) Downtown VVR 950269 0602517950269 Re-release av dette latterlig fete albumet, som I tillegg til instant classics som Wannabe In LA (playlistet av bl.a. Radio Tango, Bandit, MTV og P3), har blitt utvidet med to frekke bonusspor – As Nice As I Can Be og Fairy Tale In Real Time. EAGLES OF DEATH METAL spiller på Rockefeller 9. mars, og alle som har sett dem live, f.ex. på Øyafestivalen 2007, vet at det blir en konsert du ikke ønsker å gå glipp av! CD ”Spill det på bar. Spill det høyt.” – DAGBLADET ”…et intelligent og underholdende dragsug av en rockeplate, badet i en fornemmelse av undergang og ødeleggelse.” – BERGENS TIDENDE ”…Eagles of Death Metal er mer virile og oppegående enn noen gang.” - AFTENPOSTEN Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com I NYHETER UKE 4 - 2009 THE GOURDS HAYMAKER! Yep Roc YEP 2195 0634457219526 CD Alt.country-rockerne THE GOURDS er ute med sitt ellevte album, Haymaker!, og enkelte nettsteder melder om deres sterkeste album til nå: ”…The Gourds have released their finest record yet. This kind of country loving can’t be anything but sweet.” 8/10 – Popmatters.com Anbefales til fans av OLD 97’S, CLEM SNIDE, STEVE EARLE, SCUD MOUNTAIN BOYS osv. http://www.thegourds.com/ zZz RUNNING WITH THE BEAST Anti EPIT 70032 CD 8714092700329 Amsterdam-duoen zZz ble dannet I 2001, og leverer med Running With The Beast sin debut for etiketten Anti (TOM WAITS, NEKO CASE, THE LOCUST mm). Deres noe uortodokse lineup tar utgangspunkt i trommer og kirkeorgel, men det er gjort plass til både synth og bass på dette albumet, som veiver mellom MORPHINE, CRAMPS, DOORS og JOY DIVISION, for å nevne noen. Det er skittent, frekt, småslemt og akkurat passe mørkt og psykedelisk. Det er rock, det er dansbart og det er sexy! 12. februar spiller de på Revolver i Oslo, og det bør bli en legendarisk aften! http://www.myspace.com/zzz CHATHAM COUNTY LINE CHATHAM COUNTY LINE - REISSUE Yep Roc YEP 2199 0634457219922 Reutgivelse av CHATHAM COUNTY LINEs debutplate fra 2003. CD “…a solid, beautiful collection of terrific songs and equally terrific performances” Allmusic.com PSYCHIC ILLS MIRROR EYE The Social Registry TSR 066 http://www.myspace.com/psychicill 0656605756622 Småsær og psykedelisk støyrock fra PSYCHIC ILLS, et band som har mye til felles musikalsk med labelkompisene i THE GANG GANG DANCE, men også med band som PERE UBU og SPACEMEN 3. CD “Psychic Ills have that dance band by accident thing going for them in a big way. Everything about them is bewitching, really, evacuating, an unlikely future-primitive grind.” – Village Voice “This NYC quartet set their stall somewhere between oceanic guitar abstraction and the brittle crunch of psychedelic guitar rock, feeding their extended chugging jams through a thick fog of fuzz.” – The Wire Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com II NYHETER UKE 4 - 2009 DARKTHRONE THE CULT IS ALIVE Peaceville CDVILED 132 0801056713223 CD Ny versjon av DARKTHRONEs mesterverk fra 2006, nå til lavere pris. Den opprinnelige versjonen (CDVILEF 132) er utgått, men vi har fremdeles noen eksemplarer igjen av den limiterte Norwegian Edition (CDVILEF 132X). COSTE APETREA SURPRISINGLY HEAVY Lion Music LMC 250 CD 6419922002506 COSTE APETREA startet sin karriere allerede I 1972, som gitarist i det legendariske svenske progg-bandet SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA. Siden da har han gjort mye forskjellig; jazz, pop, etno, metal – you name it! Surprisingly Heavy inneholder 12 spor som viser alle sider ved denne virtuose instrumentalisten, men som tittelen mer enn antyder, hovedsaklig lener seg mer mot den tyngre delen av hans musikalske spekter enn den jazzete. En skatt for alle fans av progressiv rock! http://www.myspace.com/costeapetrea VISION DIVINE 9 DEGREES WEST OF THE MOON Frontiers FRCD 400 CD 8024391040027 Italienske VISION DIVINE ble opprinnelig dannet som et soloprosjekt for OLAF THORSEN (LABYRINTH), men ble raskt et fullverdig band. De har allerede skapt seg et navn i den progressive metal-verdenen, og med deres nye album ser det ut til at de virkelig skal befeste sin posisjon som et at de beste nye bandene innen genren! Sanger er ingen ringere enn FABIO LIONE (LABYRINTH, RHAPSODY), og produsent er selveste TIMO TOLKKI (STRATOVARIUS)! http://www.myspace.com/visiondivineband AIRLESS FIGHT Lion LMC 251 6419922002513 Spansk melodiøst hardrock-band i stil med f.ex. HAREM SCAREM og WHITESNAKE. Muy bien!

After a recent change in personnel, retreated to the practice space in order to produce their most progressive material to date; Where once there was raw fury now stood controlled aggression; each member showing a greater understanding of their instruments and in turn branching into bold, epic territories that built on their roots rather than severing them. The newly recorded and self produced debut EP ‘Guardians’, is the utterly devastating end product of all that hard work. For Fans Of: Parkway Drive, Architects, Lamb Of God, Misery Signals. NYTT FRA COLLECTOR’S CHOICE PETER BROWN STARGAZER CCM 993 Discoklassiker fra TK-labelen fra mannen bak MADONNAs Material Girl. GENE PARSONS KINDLING CCM 995 Album fra 1973 fra The Byrds-trommisen Gene Parsons med bl.a. RALPH STANLEY som gjest.

PETULA CLARK OPEN YOUR HEART: A LOVE SONG COLLECTION CCM 2002 Sviskesamler fra tidenes mest suksesfulle kvinnelige artist på britiske hitlister. NYTT FRA CODE 7 HIRAX NOT DEAD YET SMG 047CD 5907503802474 Selfmadegod continues to release Hirax material for the European territory. The time has come for the 22-song CD “Not Dead Yet”. The disc consists of “Raging Violence” (1985, Metal Blade) and “Hate, Fear And Power” (1986, Metal Blade), the classic first two albums. Started back in 1984 by characteristic singer Katon W. De Pena, Hirax are indisputable pioneers of American thrash metal/crossover. The front cover images have been created by renown artists Pushead (Septic Death) and Mad Marc Rude. ENEMY SOIL SMASHES THE STATE LIVE SMG 046DVD 5907503802467 The Enemy Soil Smashes the State Live DVD release is a must for all of the Enemy Soil fans all over the world that never got a chance to see the influential political grindcore band live, as well as for those who want to see how the various incarnations of the group performed, presented here using raw video originally captured on analog camcorders. Enemy Soil from Virginia, USA, despite being broken up for over a decade, has seen its classic Relapse 7” from the mid-‘90s reissued and its select discography Enemy Soil Smashes the State! (of which the DVD is a companion release) repressed numerous times. The various members of the band have gone on to form several other bands, not the least of which being City of Caterpillar and Pig Destroyer, and have gone into such diverse groups as Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Frodus. Featuring neverbefore seen live footage of 24 songs taken from shows from 1996 to 1998 and the set from the 2001 reunion gig at CBGB’s in New York City, Enemy Soil Smashes the State Live is packed with over an hour of music, including a previously unreleased live in the studio audio recording, a photo and flyer gallery, and liner notes. This marks the first time that video of Enemy Soil is available for a mass audience. AGAINST THE PLAGUES ARCHITECTURE OF OPPRESSION ATP 0001CD 0877319001871 A power act of blasting musical and ideological expression, presented in different extreme metal styles. Palpable agressiveness, but also lots of melodies, different styles, many atmospheric and rhythmic changes makes the material a collage of emotions. “THE ARCHITECTURE OF OPPRESSION” as its own tight package, is one monster of a black/death metal release. The band is a result of 5 very experienced and gifted musicians - members/ex-members from such hordes of metal as Damnation (Varyen), Luciferion/Lost Horizon (Wojtek) , Forests of Impaled (Adrian), Malevolent Creation (Marco)and Vex (Logan) . “One of the best symphonic black metal album of the year” – Metal Bite Magazine “Against the Plagues have already all the aces ready in the sleeves of black leather jackets by which they are easily able to redeem their own spot on the top of the genre as far as extreme metal is concerned.” – Metal Rules “Against The Plagues is never tedious, as the band like a chameleon changes approach at will while retaining an identifiable core sound. Fans of Symphonic Black Metal will love it” – SOD magazine “Against the Plagues serves these guys’ purpose to continue each of their musical journeys at least with an interesting musical and lyrical concept, creating lots of mystic and atmospheric elements around their relatively extreme black/death metal that will break that stupid, glazed grin on your face into smithereens” – Metal Maniacs IGNIS FATUUS SLOWIANSKA TRWOGA WIECZNYCH OLD 25CD 5908311409008 Debut album by Ignis Fatuus is devoted to the primordial power of Black Metal. “Slowianska Trwoga Wiecznych” (“Slavic Fear of the Eternal Ones”) is raw and dirty sound, lyrics about power of nature and pagan culture. Over 30 minutes of frostbitten, raw black metal. Lyrics in Polish. There was only one attempt to record that material which gave it dark, raw atmosphere characteristic to Polish Underground from the nineties. Ascetic, raw booklet reminding of atmosphere of early days of black metal. All copies hand numbered. This release is limited to 1300 copies. MURDERPLAN LET’S ROLL ASC 003 0620953355127 While many Swedish bands are busy operating in the mainstream charts or some others are preparing their nostalgic reunions, Murderplan are preaching the gospel of world domination from the middle of the battlefield. Malevolent down-tuned riffs are complemented with soaring melodic leads while Mr. Söderlund stands knee-deep in blood and oil, spitting out his venom relentlessly. The band stands as a fearless voice, unbound and brutally honest, emitting some of the most overwhelming death metal ever produced. SORT VOKTER FOLKLORIC NECRO METAL TC 004 0620953355226 Sort Vokter was a one album project by four insane Norwegians amongst which Ildjarn and acolyte Nidhogg (both of the Ildjarn fame) participated. The album has remained a classic throughout the years, mainly due to the impact it had on many subsequent black metal artists and most of all its originality. Many have even claimed that despite the low-fi song writing on this album, attempting to recreate an opus with the same type of atmosphere present on this album would be impossible. The project is long gone now, but thankfully these madmen left their mark with this a temporal milestone. Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com VII NYHETER UKE 4 - 2009 A FOREST OF STARS THE CORPSE OF REBIRTH TC 005 0620953337321 Few are the ones in the current Black Metal scene who have the guts and, above all, the creativity to push the boundaries of the genre. This is precisely what A Forest of Stars, one of the new emerging bands from England, has done in their first album The Corpse of Rebirth. The four sorcerers in A Forest of Stars conjured the souls of their fellow Victorian era occultists chose to make this album an atemporal, unique and spellbinding one, with influences ranging from progressive music to raw black metal and sharing a similar artistic framework with bands such as Ved Buens Ende, Solefald and In The Woods. NYTT FRA COLD SPRING SATORI CONTEMPTUS MUNDI CSR 113CD 0823566471523 Brand new CD from UK Dark Ambient / Fortean Electronics act Satori - Neil Chaney (Pessary) and Justin Mitchell (Cold Spring boss). This is a collaboration between Satori and Magus Peter H Gilmore, High Priest of the Church Of Satan. Satori provide their trademark deep, underground, pounding electronics, here with a ritualistic dark soundtrack atmosphere, while Gilmore bestows a seething tirade against the weakness of the modern world! Two 20+ minute tracks, the 2nd being a deeper, instrumental mix of the title track. NADJA/ATAVIST/SATORI INFERNAL PROCESSION… CSR 111CD n/a Split release from Canadian Shoegaze / Droners Nadja (Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff), Manchester Doomers Atavist and UK Fortean Electronics / Dark Ambient act Satori. Released to coincide with their UK joint tour. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel outsized sleeve. PRURIENT THE BLACK POST SOCIETY CSR 85CD 0823566448921 “The Black Post Society” embraces and accepts the depression of not having anything left to hunt. The mask without a face to hold. The depression of the hunter after the deer is killed. It is better to be hungry than to have eaten. As fantasy shatters under the whip of reality, erotic malaise settles in the nest of the mind inverting this dormant fuel to rekindle the endless cycle of sexual chaos. Black Industrial / Power Noise from this highly respected US act! SATORI KANASHIBARI CSR 95CD 0823566471622 CD version of the 2007 album from UK Dark Ambient / Fortean Electronics act Satori - Neil Chaney (Pessary) and Justin Mitchell (Cold Spring boss), originally issued on LP by Dogma Chase, Japan. “Kanashibari” is the Japanese term for sleep paralysis (literally “bound or fastened in metal”). The album explores this phenomena, manipulating Fortean sounds and deep dark ambience. NYTT FRA ÉL / CHERRY RED BRIGITTE BARDOT LOVE IS MY PROFESSION / UNE... ACMEM 164CD 5013929316430 1957 and 1958 were pivotal years for the young Brigitte Bardot. Hard on the heels of her breakthrough with And God Created Woman, they involved an idyllic comic role in the popular Une Parisienne opposite Henri Vidal and Charles Boyer, followed by arguably her most scandalous film, En Cas de Malheur (Love is My Profession), which had the Catholic Legion of Decency up in arms. BB also fell in love with the jazz guitarist Sacha Distel and their headline-grabbing romance was for two years the seemingly singular obsession of the international pop media. BB’s activity of the period is compressed into our edition: Both of the rare film soundtracks, Ray Ventura’s much sought- after jazz tribute to the Bardot legend, La Belle Bardot, completed by Sacha Distel’s performance of his paen to his lover, ‘Brigitte’. Nothing here is in print digitally and all pieces are highly collectable. NYTT FRA PULVERISED SEANCE AWAKENING OF THE GODS ASH 054CD 4000168054880 Hailed as one of Swedens biggest export and yet remarkably underrated bands of all time, technical Death Metal masters SEANCEs legacy is restored with a perfectly fitting album Awakening Of The Gods. Never abandoning their technicality-infused style and now peppered with a mammoth dose of Thrash elements, this is undoubtedly an album that will remain as another classic album in many years to come. A lesson in sonical violence indeed! Featuring past and present members from Witchery (Tony Kampner aka Toxine, Rille Rimflt and Micke Pettersson aka Mique Flesh), 11 intoxicating tracks were recorded and mixed at Linkpings HellSmell Studio, with the finishing touches by world-renowned mastering engineer Peter In De Betou at Tailor Maid Productions (Dimmu Borgir, Dismember, Meshuggah, Hypocrisy, etc). SEANCE is now awakened, bow and none shall defy! TRIBULATION THE HORROR ASH 045CD 4000168045888 There are many who duplicate and imitate, but so few have possessed the real integrity of what Extreme Music truly represents and Swedens Deathrasher squad TRIBULATION has done just that. With an acute penchant for merciless yet catchy vile Death Metal; passages that twists and torture slowly but lacerates like a whirlwind, this debut full-length album will blister and cut through like napalm. The Horror is a remarkably formidable album of Death Metal holocaust! DECEIVER THRASHING HEAVY METAL ASH 053CD 4000168053883 Strategically reunited for a new album, Swedens DECEIVER launches a final full-length album entitled Thrashing Heavy Metal. Traces of early Mercyful Fate, King Diamond and Judas Priest are easily evident and impeccably fused with the aggression of Thrash Metal. Thrashing Heavy Metal is without a doubt one of the finest swansong album, and clearly to prove the point that Thrash Metal and Heavy Metal are both match made in Hell! Recorded and mixed at the infamous Abyss Studio under the enormous engineering talents of Tommy Tgtgren (Dark Funeral, Marduk, In Aeternum, etc). Mastered by Nicklas “Terror” Rudolfsson (Runemagick, Swordmaster), and also featuring the album cover artwork by Israeli Metal artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Aghora, Sickening Horror, To-Mera, etc). BURIAL HORDES DEVOTION TO UNHOLY CREED ASH 050CD 4000168050882 A constitution of dark faith and inexorable nature, Greeces BURIAL HORDES has earned their ranks in the Black Metal sovereignty with Devotion To Unholy Creed, a follow-up of their sophomore album War, Revenge And Total Annihilation. In the habitual tradition of BURIAL HORDES, Devotion To Unholy Creed sears through the unbelievers and still preserving the authenticity of Black Metal ideology! Fans of early Marduk and Mayhem will revel with this soon-to-be cult classic. ASSAULTER SALVATION LIKE DESTRUCTION ASH 049CD 4000168049886 The harsh sounds of apocalyptical Thrash are clearly evident in ASSAULTERs new diabolical offering! Salvation Like Destruction is a hideous display of unprocessed Blackened Thrash Metal like no bands have dared to tread on. Featuring Simon Berserker of ex-Destroyer 666 fame, ASSAULTER is indeed the real definition of pure ravagement at finest!

Tanker Som Mareritt Denne gangen har bandet tatt med seg en haug med gitarer og forsterkere til Bekkstudio på Jæren. Ved stranden og med den store og høsttunge jærske himmelen som tilskuer har bandet bodd og spilt inn det som er Skambankts hittil feteste album. Førstesingelen, Malin, ble sluppet til radio og for digitalt salg allerede i oktober og har vært i rotasjon på P3 i hele syv uker allerede. Ganske nøyaktig to år etter at deres kritikerroste andreplate Eliksir entret VG-listens åttendeplass er Skambankt tilbake med nytt album. 26. januar 2009 slippes bandets tredje album Hardt Regn. For å få full kontroll på denne utgivelsen, har bandet denne gangen både produsert og spilt inn alt selv, mens mixen er gjort med hjelp fra bandets trofaste medspiller, Mike Hartung. Den nye tilnærmingen har oppsiktsvekkende nok ført til en mer detaljert og raffinert produksjon, uten å være i nærheten av å miste det intense trøkket bandet etter hvert har blitt så godt kjent for. Med dette albumet ønsker Skambankt å bevise at de har kommet for å bli. Låtskriver, vokalist og gitarist Terje W. Røthing forklarer: ”Vi har siden Eliksir-utgivelsen og påfølgende turnèring forstått at vi er et band folk har begynt å ta på alvor. Vi har derfor også tatt denne utgivelsen mer seriøst en noen gang før. Det har vært en påkjenning, men vi er fantastisk fornøyd med sluttresultatet”. Hardt Regn kommer også på limitert og påkostet vinyl! FORHÅND 26.

Atypical Stereotype One of the most vicious – and viciously original – hip hop outfits in the world, New Jersey duo dälek are proof that genre-blending doesn’t necessarily entail genre-blanding, investing hiphop with an experimental edge and an ear for sonic extremity, weaned as much on Sabbath, Melvins, My Bloody Valentine and Faust as the brutalist bricolage of the Bomb Squad, Mobb Deep, Schooly D and Wu Tang. Dälek’s fourth full-length album for Ipecac, Gutter Tactics is a liberating crawl through sewers sonic and metaphorical, the outfit’s trademark bipolar personality – mellow vs aggressive, ethereal vs earthy – reconciled into a single sonic entity. The overall murk of the sound itself makes good on producer and founder okt0pus’ mutterings about “David Lynch lighting – shadowy, claustrophobic, but shoved with detail,” his aural edifices rich in texture and shading. MC dälek’s inimitable flow is deeper and more truthful/painful than ever, essaying the nightside of the psyche with an articulate rage. Gutter Tactics is the next step on dälek’s long journey through the dark night of the soul – join them if you dare. FORHÅND 26. JANUAR WINO PUNCTUATED EQUILIBRIUM Southern Lord SUNN 99 0808720009927 CD Finally, fans of underground cult guitar hero Scott “Wino” Weinrich can rejoice - Wino’s first solo album is upon us! Over the last 25 years Wino has defined heavy music, starting with The Obsessed and Saint Vitus and continuing through mindblowing power trios Spirit Caravan and The Hidden Hand, his six string virtuosity is matched perfectly with his soulful vocals and powerful lyrics. Tracklist 1. Release Me 2. Punctuated Equilibrium 3. The Woman In The Orange Pants 4. Smilin’ Road 5. Eyes Of The Flesh 6. Wild Blue Yonder 7. Secret Realm Devotion 8. Water Crane 9. Gods, Frauds, Neo-Cons and Demagogues 10. Silver Lining After the demise of The Hidden Hand, Wino decided to enlist the help of some friends to help realize his latest musical vision, players who would help realize his songs the way he wanted them. This more “Wino”-focused direction was fleshed out with the help of amazing musicians: Jean Paul Gaster (Clutch, The Bakerton Group) on drums and Jon Blank (Rezin) on bass. Punctuated Equilibrium was recorded by J. Robbins who has worked extensively with both The Hidden Hand and Clutch in the past. “This is the culmination of a very old dream, one that has come true in many different ways,” says the master himself. “One of the main things I have learned is how I understand “success”. To me, it’s not all riches and glory so much as the impact on others lives. My main philosophy that guides me is that I was given a gift, a Musical gift which I use to bring happiness to others. It is also important not to overlook your own needs, but putting yourself in the other person’s shoes is to me most important! “Punctuated Equilibrium” is how my personality has been described, as told in the lyrics.” Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - Norway Tlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 [email protected] www.tubarec.com X NYHETER UKE 4 - 2009 FORHÅND 2.

No other female voice in the traditional Hard Rock/Metal scene has been around as constantly with a creative output like DORO. No matter if you take the stormy beginnings with her band WARLOCK or their following, exceptional solo career, DORO always tried to deliver their fans something special, something memorable. Heartfelt passion always was her engine throughout all this years, honesty, respect and friendly behaviour towards music press and fans only increased the iconic status that the girl from Düsseldorf built throughout her impressive career. But her mission is not accomplished yet - not at all! On December 13 th 2008 the Metal Queen and her true fans will celebrate “25 Years DORO” in the big ISS Dome in her home town, Düsseldorf. Another memorable concert is secure… Then, after 2 previous single releases (with “Celebrate” peaking at #3 in the Spanish charts!), the new DORO album will see the light of day on January 23rd 2009! Entitled “Fear No Evil”, this piece of work is a step back to the roots without denying all phases of DORO´s fantastic career. Just listen to “The Night Of The Warlock” (the title says it all!), the anthemic “Celebrate”, the great ballads “Herzblut” and “Walking With The Angels” or aggressive tunes like “Caught In A Battle” - the variety of “Fear No Evil” is impressive in every way. Have no fear to discover DORO´s best album since the 80´s! FORHÅND 2. FEBRUAR EL CACO HEAT Black Balloon BLNCD 014 CD 7070401090149 Tracklist 1. The Glow 2. Heat Heat 3. Individuals 4. The Manual 5.

Ikke mange band generelt sett heller. Med «Heat» beviser EL CACO at de kan nettopp det. EL CACO følger sin to-års syklus for utgivelser og er i tradisjonen tro klare med et nytt forrykende album. Denne gang med ny trommis, og Fredrik Wallumrød er ikke bare en solid forsterkning, han gir bandet en ny dimensjon. Maestro Daniel Bergstrand har nok en gang sittet i produsentstolen, og med splitter nytt studio har «Heat» rett og slett blitt EL CACOs beste og mest velproduserte album noensinne. Og det sier ikke lite. Fra åpningen med «The Glow» til avslutningen i «One Week» tre kvarter senere har EL CACO gitt oss en oppvisning i storslagen og hardtslående rock. Singelen «Heat Heat» er rett og slett et monster og dukker opp på stadig flere radiolister. El Caco har en enorm norgesturné på gang og kommer til å spille «overalt» det neste halvåret. Så gjør deg selv en tjeneste. Kjøp albumet og sørg for å se et av norges desidert beste band på en scene i nær framtid. ”Bandets tunge vandring mellom 70-tallsrock og moderne stonermetal sitter som et håndtrykk støpt i Walk of Fame.” - MANN - SCREAM MAGAZINE NØKKELPUNKTER .

FEBRUAR PHOSPHORESCENT TO WILLIE Dead Oceans DOC 013 / DOC 013LP CD/LP 0656605131320 / 0656605131313 In 1975 Willie Nelson recorded the album To Lefty FromWillie, 10 songs in which Nelson pays homage to Lefty Frizell, reinterpreting his favorites from the Frizzell catalog and stamping themwith his own unique voice, reshaping them into his own new classics. Now Phosphorescent has done the same for Willie Nelson by bringing us To Willie. Here, Matthew Houck has selected 11 of his favorite Willie Nelson songs and does much more than just simply cover them. He has not selected the greatest hits, but rather digs deep, offering renditions of hidden Nelson gems and lost classics. The songs collected here seem cracked from Phosphorescent’s proprietary mold with Matthew Houck’s unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent. Phosphorescent’s 2007 breakthrough album Pride sounded best at the latest of hours—it was narcotic, dreamy and fraught. Following the release of this insomniac masterpiece, Houck toured relentlessly with a solid rock band, turning the meditations of Pride into another beast entirely. Loose and booze-fueled, Phosphorescent put on electrifying performances night after night inwhich Houck stepped out as confident frontman and band leader. Without question, those hard-living months on the road greatly impacted the To Willie sessions. Houck’s swagger and confidence shines through like never before—on songs like Reasons to Quit and I Gotta Get Drunk Phosphorescent rumbles with a soulful groove that was a fixture of the live show, but was never touched upon in previous recordings. Recalling the finest moments of the late-‘70s work of Waylon Jennings and Nelson himself, Phosphorescent has delivered a glorious hangover of an album. It is so much more than a collection of Willie Nelson cover songs—it is a full-blown new classic. FORHÅND 2. FEBRUAR LADYFINGER (NE) DUSK Saddle Creek SCE 129 CD 0648401512922 At a time when the world’s two biggest rock bands have released their long-awaited, return to form albums and the last few years have seen some of the best shows being performed by bands who originally formed 20 years ago, Ladyfinger (ne) could not have made a more fitting album. Nods and winks to the past meet a sound of the not-toodistant future, and with one foot in the sounds of early 70’s classic rock and another in the punk and hardcore scenes of the late 80’s and early 90’s, Ladyfinger (ne) bring you Dusk. Recorded once again with Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus the Bear, Isis), Dusk is Ladyfinger (ne) at the peak of their powers. Witness Chris Machmuller’s confidence in his vocals grow exponentially and Pat Oakes’ powerhouse drums finding a firmer root to propel every snare hit and bass kick. An album clearly born of playing local dives and national tours over the last couple of years, Dusk is a statement of intent. The dynamics of each song and across the album are more evident, from the opening 1-2 punch of Over and Over and the bass growl of ADD, through the sharp riffs and aggressiveness of Work Party, the plaintive Plans, and into the hit-in-the-making Let’s Get Married. We’re not going to sit around and tell you this is going to save rock and roll. We’ll leave that up to the big boys. But for now, this saved rock for us. We think it’s going help to save it for you, too.

Summoning the Horns FANTASTIC NEW ALBUM OF BLASTING BLACK METAL FROM NORWAYS FINEST THRONE OF KATARSIS was spawned in 2003 in Norway by the demonic visions of Grimnisse and Vardalv. Their prophecy was and still is to craft purified and atmospheric occult Black Metal in the true vein of the early 90-ties Norwegian Black Metal, and focused on spreading the unholy message through their blasphemous lyrics. Their line-up is simple, yet effective: Vardalv play the drums and Grimnisse take care of the rest of the instruments. March 2004 the now infamous demo recording entitled Unholy Holocaustwinds was unleashed upon the world. There were initially only released 40 copies of the demo, but after massive unforeseen response and requests the demo has been re-released on pro-printed MC and 10 LP by German Warfront Production and on MiniCD by UK based Paradigms Recordings. Unholy Holocaustwinds was recorded on a four-track cassette recorder, partly in the Liarlund Forrest. There was also recorded a second demo in mid 2004, entitled Blodslakt, but this demo was only handed out to a few selected. Blodslakt was never officially released, bearing in mind a future full-length album would contain the same material. Late 2004, accompanied by two talented session-musicians on bass and guitar, THRONE OF KATARSIS did their first live performance at John Dee, Oslo, Norway. Apart from a live gig at the Karmygeddon metal festival, THRONE OF KATARSIS spent 2005 focusing on recording their debut full-length. The recording process took place at Black Dimension Studio owned and operated by Stein Sund of Thundra. After being offered a couple of record-proposals from different labels in 2006, THRONE OF KATARSIS finally decided to settle on Candlelight.

MARS MONO HYMN TO THE IMMORTAL WIND Conspiracy CORE 077 5425015710778 CD Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind. Tracklist 1, Ashes In The Snow 2, Burial At Sea 3, Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn 4, Pure As Snow (Trails of the Winter Storm) 5, Follow The Map 6, The Battle To Heaven 7, Everlasting Light After touring almost non-stop for five years, the band hibernated for over a year to focus solely on writing Hymn. The result is their most thoughtful and eclectic album to date. Written and arranged with a hopeful, romantic narrative in mind, the songs string together like chapters in an epic love story. The music is naturally majestic, with MONO’s trademark wall of noise crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted. The instrumentation is vast, incorporating strings, flutes, organ, piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard facemelting set-up. Recorded to analog tape with long-time friend and producer Steve Albini, there is an intimacy captured here that is at once beautiful and a little terrifying. The creaking of old wooden chairs as the orchestra rocks in their seats (both literally and figuratively), puckered lips rolling along flutes, and even the conductor’s opening cue can be heard during the hauntingly quiet opening moments While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO’s music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become MONO’s strongest virtue.

MARS MY DYING BRIDE FOR LIES I SIRE Peaceville CDVILEF 245X / CDVILEF245 0801056824721 / 0801056824523 2CD/CD My Dying Bride has become the leading light of doom metal since their debut album ‘As the Flower Withers’ was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost and Candlemass, and with their heavy atmospherics, the band carved a huge worldwide following over the years and remains greatly respected today as one of the pinnacles of the genre, as well as one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands. ‘For Lies I Sire’, My Dying Bride’s tenth studio album, is set for release March 23rd 2009 & consists of 9 songs of crushing doom, recorded & mixed at Futureworks in Manchester, UK, with long-time producer Mags throughout the second half of 2008. It is the band’s first album since re-signing to long-time home Peaceville Records, and looks set to become another quality addition to the MDB catalogue, such is the scope of this latest journey into the depths of despair. This album is the follow-up to 2006’s hit, ‘A Line Of Deathless Kings’, and is the first studio album with new members Dan Mullins on drums, Lena Abe on bass, and violin/keyboard player Katie Stone. 2008 has seen a successful year for the band, having released their live CD/DVD ‘An Ode to Woe’, plus their high profile ‘Unholy Trinity’ shows re-uniting the ‘Peaceville three’ (Paradise Lost, Anathema & My Dying Bride). Featuring some seriously heavy-as-hell somber doom, ‘For Lies I Sire’ wades effortlessly & poetically through tales of darkness & gloom, this time textured with the much-anticipated return of the often-missed violin, last featured well over ten years ago. AS DEFINED BY THE BAND: Huge great slabs of utter misery carved from darkest Obsidian, laced with literary glories and beautifully crafted melodies. From tears of forlornness and grief to hatred and anger, this recording features truly atmospheric, enchanting and often deeply moving passages. “For Lies I Sire” is My Dying Bride celebrating their past, present and future, with their most defining and impassioned album to date. Within here ‘tis not just total doom, it’s majestic and miserable too. Suffer ye, amongst this most melancholic of metal, forged by the masters of misery. FORHÅND 20.
