I put up a track from Peter, Bjorn and John today. It's quality power-pop - reminds a bit of British Invasion kinda stuff. Look to your right.

There's a bunch of news today about what bands are gonna be on Musikbyrån and various other Swedish TV programs in the future, but since I can't watch it, I ain't gonna post it. I guess if you really want me to make note of that stuff you can let me know. Otherwise, I'll stick with news relevant to the rest of the world.

Dee Rangers will be travelling to London in January to record their new record at Toe-Rag Studio. Having just finished up with working on the latest White Stripes album, producer Liam Watson will oversee the proceedings.

Dark Funeral has severed their ties with US label Necropolis Records. Their statement on the matter:

Before we signed this North American deal with Necropolis Records, we were warned by pretty much everybody to not sign with them. It is apparently well-known within the scene as well as between various business associates that Paul and his Necropolis record label have routinely not paid most they have worked with.

They have defaulted on payments towards their artists, for studio sessions, to their distributors etc. We had heard these rumours, and the warnings coming in to us, but we didn't want to judge anyone before we had investigated it further by ourselves.

Usually there are too many rumours circulating out there and its way too often they lack evidence and/or any substance. After many discussions and meetings with Paul Thind, we, the band and our label MNW/No Fashion Records decided to sign and license Diabolis Interium for North America to Necropolis Records.

Since we had our suspicions we protected ourselves by Dark Funeral would like to put this unfortunate incident behind them now and move on to the future.

The band plans to continue working on writing and rehearsing new material very soon. Anybody labels interested in working with them should contact either Lord Ahriman and/or Emperor Magus Caligula.
