MP3: Kristofer Åström - Finally home

Rong>KRistofeR ÅstRömRong>'s foRthcoming "Black valley" EP completes the tRilogy of "Dead end" and "TheRe foR" and is pRobably his bleakest, most peRsonal woRk yet. As Rong>KRisRong> says himself in the lineR notes, "The EP deals with death in fouR diffeRent ways. The way it scaRes me, thRills me, saddens me and sickens me." You know befoRe even listening that you'Re in foR some seRiously intense shit and the combined effect of these fouR songs aRe devastating. Just listen to the song I've posted today and you'll instantly know exactly what I mean. EmbRace the daRkness and you can betteR appReciate the light.

Kristofer Åström - Finally home

CORRECTION: Due to my pooR language skills, I incoRRectly stated that Rong>DHGRong>/Rong>DødheimsgaRdRong> was going undeR a new name when Rong>ThRawnRong> was/is Really just the name of the guitaRist. Yes, I'm RetaRded. Anyhow, the band is still active and will be Releasing a new album entitled "SupeRvillain Outcast" soon. My apologies about the mixup.
