UNDER THE SIGN OF HECK

GORGOROTH - QUANTOS POSSUNT AD SATANITATEM TRAHUNT
I'm a little late on this one, been traveling. Well it's out and say what you will, I dig it. They haven't gone the direction of awful as their Norwegian peers have, and while it's not quite the same sound they had once upon it time, it's still dark, emotional, There is a a huge Judas Priest influence I can sense this time around, a good mix of traditional heavy metal and black metal vocals. I have heard others say they hate their current direction, but that's just silly. They haven't lost their edge one bit. Don't be scared! (FA)

LIGHT FUNERAL

DARK FUNERAL: New Album Title Revealed

Swedish black metal legion DARK FUNERAL have set Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus as the title of their upcoming new full-length scheduled for release in the US this November. Said guitarist Lord Ahriman in a MySpace update earlier today: "Peter Tägtgren [Hypocrisy, Pain] is currently mixing our new album at his Abyss Studios. Once we have approved the final mix, Jonas Kjellgren [Scar Symmetry] will be mastering it. By listening to the rough-mix, the final production will kill totally, no doubt! Can’t wait to blast the final result in the stereo! We decided to go for a bit rawer sound this time, and not as crystal clear and perhaps polished as our last album [Attera Totus Sanctus], but no worries. The production still holds the high quality that you would come to expect from us. We haven’t pulled 'a Metallica' so to speak!

DARK FUNERAL shot a video for "My Funeral," one of the new tracks off Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus, in August. Said Ahriman, "The video was shot in and outside an old and closed mental hospital. The environment was just killer and suited the video theme perfect! The video is currently being edited by Standard Film Team and within the next 2-3 weeks should be ready for world premiere. Due to the graphic violence and somewhat gory nature of the video, I would assume that we will be forced to edit two versions, one soft and one hardcore version. Exactly how and where we’ll release them is yet to be decided.

PLATEAU OF GORGOROTH

GORGOROTH TRADEMARK VERDICT REACHED

Oslo City District Court has delivered a verdict on the main question in the GORGOROTH trademark case, which took place at the end of January 2009. The court has decided that King Ov Hell's trademark registration #243365 of the band name GORGOROTH is NOT valid and shall therefore be deleted. The court states that King ov Hell and Gaahl excluded themselves from the band GORGOROTH when they tried to fire Infernus in October 2007. The court further states that Infernus cannot be excluded from GORGOROTH, unless he himself decides to quit. Infernus is very pleased, but not surprised, by this verdict. The remaining issues concerning financial matters and such are yet to be decided upon.

Blabbermouth.net has received the following statement from bassist Tom Cato Visnes and vocalist Kristian Espedal regarding the latest developments in their legal dispute with guitarist Infernus over the rights to the GORGOROTH band name: "Regarding the recent court case over the use of the name GORGOROTH, Kristian Espedal and Tom Cato Visnes confirm that parts of the verdict have been decided and went in favour of Infernus. This is only a partial verdict on the case. Because of the complexity of this case, there will be further court hearings and the final verdict will be announced within a few weeks.”

"Gaahl and King wish Infernus the best of luck using the banner of GORGOROTH on his art.”

A-THYRFING WE WILL GO!

Thyrfing has delivered its very own brew of metal music since 1995. After five full-length albums and numerous live performances the band now releases Hels Vite, still carrying the integrity and trademarks known since their 1998 self-titled debut album, brought forth through Valdr Galga (1999), Urkraft (2000), Vansinnesvisor (2002) and Farsotstider (2005).

In 2007 a new line-up was formed after the departure of long time members Thomas Väänänen and Henrik Svegsjö, introducing new vocalist Jens Rydén (ex-Naglfar). The band name is taken from the sword "Tyrfing" in Scandinavian mythology - a cursed blade that appears in several tales and myths.

With massive critical acclaim already beginning to pour in on this blackened Pagan metal masterpiece the world over, Hels Vite is about to bring Thyrfing to a whole new level.

Hels Vite will be unleashed in North America January 27, 2009. Interviews and promos are available now! In North America contact earsplitpr@aol.com / in Eurpe contact jarne@regainrecords.com.

Thyrfing Lineup:
Jens Rydén - vocals

1. En Sista Litania
2. Från Stormens Öga

NEW DARK FUNERAL ON DECK.

Ave everyone!

I guess it's about time to let you guys know what's going on here. Well, we are currently working on material for a new full-length album. We're in the very early stages of the writing process though.

There's still a lot of work before we're ready to hit the studio, but we're on the right course at least!

Plan is, however, to be ready to record a new album sometime during 2008, with a possible early 2009 release (but it all depends on when we're ready to record and so on, of course). We will keep you posted on the writing progress and what kind of time plan we'll put up for the new album.

We have also renewed our contract with Regain Records. So we will be releasing the next album through them too.

In the meantime, and during the wait for our new studio album, I'd suggest that you check out two killer DVDs that we have released, "Attera Orbis Terrarum" parts 1 & 2 (part two will be released on May 22). A trailer for the up-coming DVD will soon be posted on the band..s MySpace website and YouTube channel.

Also, keep your eyes open for the date when we'll launch our webstore "DIABOLISWEAR!"....

---SVENSKA---
Dags för lite nyheter. Vi har just påbörjat skrivandet till ett nytt album. Vi är än så länge bara i startgroparna, så just nu är det alldeles för tidigt att ge er mer ingående info än så. Vi har i alla fall ställt in siktet på att spela in ett nytt album under 2008, med en förhoppningsvis tidig 2009 release. Vi kommer att hålla er uppdaterade under tiden vi arbetar på det nya albumet, var och när vi bokar studiotid osv.

Vi har just förnyat vårt kontrakt med Regain Records. Så nästa platta kommer genom dem.

Medan ni väntar på ett nytt album från oss föreslår vi att ni kollar in de 2 dubbel DVD..s vi släppt "Attera Orbis Terrarum" del 1 & 2 (del 2 släpps den 22 Maj). Del 1 innehåller 3 spelningar från vår senaste Europaturne. Del 2 innerhåller material vi spelade in under vår senaste Sydamerika turné så förbered er på en förkrossande grym DVD! Båda DVDérna innehåller även en hel del bonusmaterial i form av amatörklipp inspelade under årens gång.

De går att beställa från tex www.bengans.se, www.discshop.se & www.ginza.se

Vi kommer även inom kort att öppna vår webbutik "DIABOLISWEAR" så håll även utkik efter ett datum för denna stora händelse.
