The brand new Swedish "filthrock" act Iron Lamb (feat. members from Dismember, General Surgery, Repugnant, Tyrant, more) will be releasing their debut 7" via Greek label Nuclear Winter Records this coming fall. The band is also working on their live debut which will happen on August 22 at Hornstull Strand as part of Stockholm-based tattoo parlor Swahili Bob's 4-year anniversary party with Poison Idea (thee Kings of Punk!) and Henry Fiat's Open Sore, who will apparently be debuting "a new style," whatever that means (speculation is not positive from what I've seen).

It only took them 10 years, but Norwegian gamer/tech-metal act Next Life has added a live drummer to their lineup. Anders Hangård (NoPlaceToHide, Saprophyth) will take the stage with the band for the first time on July 16 at the Slottsfjell Festival in Tønsberg, Norway.
It's a shame since I've just discovered them (and have been listening constantly), but Elmo will be playing their final show at Kulekalaset in Luleå on July 31. On a more positive note however, mainman Magnus Ekelund is doing new stuff under his own name på Svenska -- listen at myspace: https://www.myspace.com/magnusekelund (via)
