The World Void Web

So, it is almost a month since the Void Moon album "On The Blackest of Nights" was released. It feels like it was ages ago we strolled along the beach in Malta but for real, it is just almost a month ago.
I guess this grey season in Sweden feels longer than it actually is.

But things are moving with the record. Cruz Del Sur announced today that the album is available on iTunes and other digital media sites. As a vinyl freak I have a bit hard to understand this, so if you agree with this, you can always buy the CD directly from us. Or, almost any bigger web-shop really! And of course, we've been getting a lot of very nice reviews. Of course, everyone can't like it but even the not so positive ones has  been fairly ok!!!

Not listened to the album yet??? If so, check out "Hammer Of Eden" opening track... (and help get us to 1000 views)



If you liked this one, there are more here;

We also have T-shirts available on the website, together with the CD... Paypal payments if you want, but of course we can support bank transfer as well!

Next step will be to get some gigs!!! We are pulling a few strings and it seems promising here and there... But we'll see what happens! Would be great to be on stage again and play, was WAY too long ago now (again).

Recordshoppers Anonymous #6

Well, I keep reeating myself that the days at work are crazy and I didn't think it could be more to do than it was last week but I was wrong. I keep on running on meetings all day and then I'm supposed do some real work as well. I doesn't work that well! But ok... I'm scheduling two quite interesting workshops at least so there are a lot of interesting things going on as well. But it shure would be nice to be able to finish something sometimes too.

So to keep my mood up I've been shopping some records again!!! Coludn't resist when Nevermore  "Dreaming Neon Black" was listed! Then of course it gets too expensive to just order one LP when it comes to shipping. So I took the opportunity to get Striker, another Merciless Death, Dio and Quicksand Dream. And then Saxon "Live to Rock" 7", Convixion. The special edition for Iced Earth "Dystopia" also was a must. It sounds really good but I need to listen more before I judge for real.

And it's not only work that has been busy. We've been rehearsing a lot lately, first and foremost to get ready for Malta Doom Metal Festival but of course to keep things up with Cult Of The Fox too! Unfortunately the gig planned for Tilburg won't happen since Grand Magus and that really cool tourpackage should play there at the same day. But it all turned out nice and we confirmed a date in Eindhoven instead. So now we have Eindhoven Jan 13 and Lille Jan 14, still looking for more gigs though.

But it will be awesome to go back to Malta again. I heave the weather gadget on my computer and looking out to a mixture of +2 hailstones and heavy rain that gadet that says sun and +24 feels like a joke. Can't even imagine someone still has summer. I'm really looking forward to explore more of the island(s) too. Now we have time for the harbor cruise, we are going to go to the old temples, Medina, Rabat and more... Eat swordfish, feed the cats (even if they're strange and don't like ham), sit on the rocks with my feet in the ocean, drink colourful drinks and just ejoy! I need that now. 

And then of course the Festival. I especially look forward to see Victims Of Creation again. They kicked ass last year. But the line up is really strong! Pagan Altar, Mirror Of Deception, Nomad Son, Forsaken and of course Void Moon and a few more. So it will be another great weekend in the Woods for Malta Doom Metal Festival.

Vicious Rumors Picture Galore

A while ago we went on a roadtrip to see a few Vicious Rumors concerts. At least I had to make up for only catching one more than Keep It True on the last let. My trip started in Essen at the Turock. I really like that venue and this night the camera loved the lights and Vicious Rumors. It sure was an amazing set played too. 24 for songs all in all, only 16 listed on the setlist. Noone can complain about not getting their money's worth seeing Vicious Rumors at least. Killer show as usual and I had a blast!



VICIOUS RUMORS live @ Turock, ESSEN, Germany



The second stop was at the Baroeg in Rotterdam. This city is one of very few places I've actually been scared being out on the streets at night. But ok, that was in the downtown area around the central station. But what the lady in the reception of the hotel at that visit referred to as the Bad and Good nighbourhood I certainly don't agree on. Don't remember the name of the venue I visited that time but apparently that was in the bad part of the town and the hotel in the good. Yeah right! Prostitution and drug dealing in every corner while only night open grocerystores around the venue. The area around baroeg was really calm though!
Again Vicious Rumors put on a great show. I must admit I wonder when they will flip over and actually not top the last time I saw them... Both these shows, in Essen and Rotterdam was fantastic and the best I've seen this far. The same sentence I've been repeating after each Vicious Rumors tour for years now...

Metal Kaoz Report for VICIOUS RUMORS

Vicious Rumors also announced they'll be joining Hammerfall on their entire European Tour in November and December. That's very cool and I really want to see at least one of these shows, Ljubljana in Slovenia. It's actually VERY annoying to not be home in Sweden when Vicious Rumors actually makes it here... But at least I get to play Rockstar at that time to since we are playing with Void Moon at the Malta Doom Metal Festival. Shit happens, but on the other hand, I've always wanted to see more of the eastern parts of Europe. Still it's rather strange to plan to go and see Hammerfall and I'm sure about that Vicious Rumors will rule over them. Hammerfall won't stand a chance.

Martyr - Circle of 8

It's always nice when great bands release new material. Martyr has become one of my favorite Live bands. They always do something hysteric on stage and are amazingly fun to watch. Then, that they have and still are producing good music is of course a very valid reason why I like them too! Martyr release their new album "Circle Of 8" through Metal Blade Records on November 4 in Europe and Novemeber 8 in the US. Old School Dutch Metal sure still holds today!

It sure had been great to be able to go to the release party, but since it clashes with the Malta Doom Metal Festial that won't happen. It's kind of a shame it's not possible to do everything I want. I do a lot but being in two places at the same time, not even I manage! :O)

Live really is where Martyr comes to life. And with the new album they sure seem to have found a lot of new energy and inspiration. So they're absolutely worth checking out, both live and on record that is! The video says a bit and more about the same can be found at Metal Kaoz.

 

MARTYR "Speed Of Samurai" live @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, NL 

Then I took the opportunity to pre-order "Circle Of 8" directly from Metal Blade. The nice thing with getting it directly from them is that Metal Blade have a package with T-shirt and CD for a bargain price. Only the CD in Sweden would cost the same as CD + T-Shirt and postage fee.

For more information about MARTYR, check out Martyr Online
