Swedish death metallers Miasmal are streaming a brand new track at myspace: https://www.myspace.com/miasmalband/music/songs/toxic-breed-79982924
The band's new album is complete and should be out in time for the band's upcoming US tour in April. And I gotta say; I was pretty tentative about these dudes before, but this new track rules.
I didn't get around to hearing Makthaverskan's excellent self-titled album until way after its release, otherwise it would have easily made my Best of 2009 list. Good to see they're not giving up on it though, despite its criminally underwhelming reception -- perhaps the current goth zeitgeist will serve them better. Anyhow, here's a brand new video for the track "Know love" and it's great, though, uh, a bit NSFW. Direct link: https://vimeo.com/18879071
MIC Norway is launching a new concert series in association with NRK called "Live in the Office" featuring just that: artists performing live in the most un-rock of venues, the office. First up, Jarle Bernhoft performing in the MIC's own HQ: https://www.listento.no/mic.nsf/doc/art2011021813552814303959
