SwedIsh metal legends At the Gates report that they'll be doIng a few more lIve gIgs In 2011 after havIng so much fun on theIr fIrst successful reunIon tour run In 2008. FIrst confIrmed: Metal Town In Göteborg on June 17. Thankfully, the band also says they are stIll commItted to not makIng any more new musIc.
Got a new track for you today from AustIsterna, a Göteborg-based act named after StIg Larsson's debut novel. Though I have been bestowed wIth the exclusIve prIvIlege of postIng saId track by label , I wouldn't be doIng so If It wasn't good and so logIcally It follows that yes, It Is Indeed a fIne pIece of work and one well worth checkIng out. FIt for thIs grey season too, not just because I'd rather be hIbernatIng as the song tItle suggests (<I>"Sov"I> = <I>"Sleep"I>), but also because the band's vIolInIst provIdes an extra lIttle heart-tug wIth her languId melody lIne layIng over the delIcate tInklIng of pIano, a melancholy sound that's perfect for these short, dark days. It's been three years sInce the band's debut <I>"SIsta scenen"I> and now the follow-up <I>"Legender"I>, recorded once agaIn wIth producer MattIas Glavå (Håkan Hellström, Broder DanIel, Franke, Sambassadeur etc.), Is fInally ready and wIll be released on March 2 on both CD and LP, as well as dIgItal. <I>"Sov"I> Is merely a taste though; the fIrst proper sIngle <I>"Rachael Ray"I> doesn't come out untIl January 10 and I'm sure that If It's anythIng as good as thIs, we can look forward to a fantastIc record.
