There's a new Bröderna Lindgren album on the way in October via Brus & Knaster and the guest vocalists this time 'round include Nina Ramsby, Olle Ljungström, Ebbot Lundberg, Hajen, Britta Persson, Mattias Alkberg and Patrik Arve. I have no idea what the record will be called or what the official release date is, but the first single with Mr. Alkberg is called "Som raketer" and it's excellent.
Cult of Luna says they will be gathering for a mid-October recording session, but they say it's not for a new album, it's for "something else." Expect more details soon?

Despotz Records has announced the signing of excellent Finnish act Pintandwefall. I don't have any more details beyond that, but I'll keep you posted.
