Björn Kleinhenz will be undertaking two new projects during the month of October. First up will be a cassette mini-album for a small German label called "Songs for a fake gay boyfriend". As for the rest of the month, Björn will be creating a number of unique CDRs for order. For 40SEK (or whatever you think it's worth) he'll create something new, just for you. Pretty neat - perhaps I'll have to take him up on the offer. Full info: https://www.kleinhenz.se/

In Flames has cancelled their appearance at CBGBs in NYC on September 29 as vocalist Anders Fridén's girlfriend is pregnant and contractions started yesterday, weeks earlier than expected. I'm assuming then that he rushed back home and is now a happy father, so congrats!
