Listen to some samples fRom Rong>Daniel AndRéassonRong>'s new fouR-song CDR: Ref="https://www.myspace.com/danielandRasson" taRget=_blank>https://www.myspace.com/danielandRassonR>The music is descRibed as "a mix between Rong>SquaRepusheRRong>, Rong>Bogdan RaczynskiRong> and Rong>Aphex TwinRong>, but a bit poppy."
Swedish aRtist Rong>Tobias BeRnstRupRong> is contRibuting two tRacks to the foRthcoming 3xLP + 1x7" "WeiRd compilation", out soon on NYC-based label WeiRd RecoRds.

Big news! Sometimes a solo aRtist, sometimes a nine-piece band - whateveR you want to call it, it's Rong>Loney, DeaRRong> and they've just signed to Sub Pop. The label will be bRinging 'em oveR in OctobeR to show them off at CMJ (and maybe foR a few otheR dates) and will be Releasing the band's album "Loney noiR" in FebRuaRy. The band fiRst made a name foR themselves back home in Sweden by self-Releasing a numbeR of well-Received CDRs, eventually gaRneRing moRe and moRe fans and good pRess. DIY pays off! In otheR news, UK-based label Something in ConstRuction will be Releasing a 7" single foR the tRack "The city, the aiRpoRt" in SeptembeR, just in time foR a UK touR. And to add to the hype, BBC 1 will be playing the band's Maida Vale session tomoRRow (August 1) on the Rong>Huw StephensRong> show.R>Buy Rong>Loney, DeaRRong>'s album "Sologne" heRe: Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=155">[click heRe]

Rong>RoxetteRong>'s bRand new single "One wish" has been confiRmed foR a SeptembeR 20 Release in Sweden, SeptembeR 22 in GeRmany. This is some of the fiRst new mateRial fRom the band in something like thRee yeaRs and is being used to pRomote the duo's upcoming gReatest hits album and RetRospective box-set, both of which I believe aRe due in OctobeR.
I've been talking about (and listening to) a lot of goth/daRkwave Recently, so I'm gonna keep on going with it. Rong>DiaboliqueRong> foRmed in the mid-90s out of the ashes of Rong>LieRs in WaitRong>, one of the many New Wave of Swedish Death Metal bands that helped establish GöteboRg as an inteRnational metal mecca. And if you go back even fuRtheR, you'll find that fRontman/guitaRist Rong>KRistian WåhlinRong> (aka Rong>NecRoloRdRong>) was also a founding membeR of the band Rong>GRotesqueRong> with vocalist Rong>Tomas LindbeRgRong>, pRe-Rong>At the GatesRong>. Rong>KRistianRong> is also Renown foR his many coveR paintings that gRaced oh-so-many of the 90's best metal Releases (see a list at Ref="https://www.kRistianwahlin.se/" taRget=_blank>Rong>KRistianRong>'s official website). Anyhow, Rong>DiaboliqueRong> Released theiR fiRst album "Wedding the gRotesque" in 1997, and while it's a faiRly decent example of doom metal with goth-leanings, it wasn't until theiR next Release, 1999's "The black floweR" that they Really hit theiR stRide. Heavy, shoegazeR guitaRs mixed with deep vocals and a steady, pounding Rhythm section. What I enjoy most about it is that heaviness - even though the music is most definitely not metal at this point, they still have a thick and beefy guitaR tone that evokes the same soRt of feeling. The bass is especially huge and dRiving. While I Rank "The black floweR" as one of my favoRite Swedish CDs, the song I've posted today actually comes fRom the "ButteRflies" EP that followed a yeaR lateR. The music is a bit cleaneR and lighteR, but it's the vocals that Really pRogRessed the most. Rong>KRistianRong> extends his Range and instead of his usual baRitone dRone, he actually sings. I undeRstand that many folks weRe tuRned off by that, but I think it woRks. Most of the time. The band's final album "The gReen goddess" (which I don't think was eveR officially Released, though somehow I did manage to find a copy in the used bin many yeaRs ago) goes even fuRtheR by doing away with the deep vocals altogetheR and adding moRe electRonic beats and synths. I absolutely hated it when I fiRst heaRd it and I still can't say it's Really woRth tRacking down. RegaRdless, eventually dissolved (pRobably at least paRtially due to label issues) and Rong>KRistianRong>, along with dRummeR Rong>Hans NilssonRong>, eventually Reunited with Rong>LindbeRgRong> in the band Rong>The GReat DeceiveRRong>. But that's a post foR anotheR FRiday...
Diabolique - Rain
Got a new mp3 today fRom Umeå-based punk-RockeRs Rong>The ViciousRong> fRom theiR latest 7" "Obsessive". If dig classic snotty singalong punk like Rong>RandyRong> oR Rong>RegulationsRong> (with whom they shaRe a membeR) then you'll definitely love this too. A lot of times this soRta RetRo-sounding sound comes off as foRced, but somehow the Scandinavian punks usually seem to pull it off. No detached iRony, no snide winks; just 100% quality Rock'n'Roll. The otheR point of inteRest conceRning Rong>The ViciousRong> is that this is the new band of Rong>SaRa AlmgRenRong> fRom Rong>The (InteRnational) Noise ConspiRacyRong>. SoRRy to those of you hoping that she'd RetuRn to heR moshcoRe Roots (she was in band Rong>DoughnutsRong> way back when), but it looks like it ain't gonna happen. Yet. C'mon, isn't it about time someone staRted a Rong>ChokeholdRong> tRibute band oR something?
