Konrad from the excellent label has started two new offshoot projects that he runs on his own. First is , a label devoted to releasing "hardrocking bands with their roots in the 70's as well as the early 80's" who have so far only signed French act Soul manifest whose self-titled debut album will be released later this month. Unfortunately they're not a band I'll be covering, but myspace.com/nighttripperrecords" target="_blank">the samples on myspace sound pretty darn good. Secondly, and far more topical for IAT!, is Konrad's other project which will be specializing in one of my favorite subjects: reissuing crucial early Swedish death metal on vinyl. They've already put out two LPs, both vinyl editions of demos from the acts Obscurity and mega Slaughter, and coming up next will be a 3xLP boxset from Sorcery and Sarcasm with LPs from Inverted and Curse to follow. more info and samples at myspace: myspace.com/tothedeath666" target="_blank">https://www.myspace.com/tothedeath666

('cept that I won't)
Apparently this is a big deal in Sweden right now and spreading, but it's been completely outside my radar until now. Very much not my thing, but anyhow, good luck to Tejbz in becoming the Basshunter of pop-punk. Direct link: m/watch?v=m3JZjElZG2c" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3JZjElZG2c
