Director Peter Magnusson has filmed a new documentary feature on Swedish act Bob Hund which will be airing on SVT on December 17, just in time for the band's 20th anniversary.
Excellent Finnish label will be doing a reissue/repress of early 90s death metallers Disgrace's first few releases, including a reconstructed version of the band's previously lost 1993 album "Vol. 2" -- the very first time this recording has ever seen the light of day. You can buy all 3 LPs now if you want, but you can also wait for them to be released individually: "Vol. 2" comes out first on November 9 followed by "1990" (the first two demos and 7" on one LP) and "Grey misery" (the debut full-length) on December 5.
A second taste of the new Koko record, coming out in early 2012 via . Once again, Koko is Emil Lundgren and Sven Johansson and Sven's bandmate Elina Johansson from Dear Euphoria contributes guest vocals. Recommended!
