Medeia - Abandon all (video)
I can't imagine that I'll ever actually like Medeia's slightly above-average metalcore, but they do consistently deliver great videos. Direct link: https://youtu.be/rTtSCh1AmQM
To the Death to reissue Doomstone
Even though it's barely relevant to It's a Trap!, I'm stoked to learn that Swedish label will be reissuing Doomstone's 1994 cult classic "For those whom Satan hath joined" on vinyl for the very first time this coming fall. For the unindoctrinated, Doomstone was a project featuring members of Deceased playing what I guess you could call old-school Satanic Heavy Metal. They also boasted one of the best band member aliases of all-time, Cross Turner Upside-Downer.
I Break Horses - Hearts (video)
The debut video from I Break Horses, the new Swedish band featuring Maria Lindén of Blackstrap as first reported about here. Look for their debut album "Hearts" to be released later this year via . Direct link: https://vimeo.com/23403268
Bendik release new Stille EP
There's a new EP out from Trondheim-based artist Bendik on the label: https://www.riotfactory.no/rfac20.php
Highly recommended for fans of dreamy pop -- the samples they have posted on the site are all fantastic.
Ihab - Æ må fær
Via Musik fra Norge comes a heads-up that up-and-coming Bodø-based indie act Ihab are streaming a new track at Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/beyond-records/ihab-ae-m-faer-1
Look for the band's new EP "Marionettedukke" to be released digitally on May 20 via with a physical version to follow on June 4. As Musik fra Norge says, definitely recommended for fans of Kråkesølv.
Lama reissue coming via Svart
There's a lot of killer vinyl reissues these days and out of Finland is behind quite a few, the latest being Lama's 1982 self-titled LP, an absolute classic of Finnish punk: https://www.svartrecords.com/shoppe/product.php?id_product=396
Silverbullit to receive SKAP stipend
PSL reports that Silverbullit has been awarded a sizable stipend from SKAP despite the fact that the band has not been active in many years: https://psl.svt.se/psl/2011/05/11/extra-extra-silverbullit-far-pris-och-psl-ropar-hipp-hipp-hurra/
Perhaps it's a harbinger of things to come? I can only hope so, as they truly are one of Sweden's greatest rock bands and I've been eagerly awaiting their return.
Death Token LP on the way
Long-running Copenhagen hardcore act Death Token will finally be releasing an LP via in the not-so-distant future. Entitled "All dreams are nightmares", the label says it sounds like "a massive recording mixing up classic raw Japanese and European hardcore punk with a Hellhammer meets Rudimentari Peni styled approach." No official release date, just soon.
