MP3: Logh - War ensemble
June 6 is Swedish National Day? Boo-o-oring! No! Today is 6-6-6, the National Day of Slayer! To celebrate I'm giving y'all an mp3 of Logh doing an amazing slowcore take on Slayer's classic "War ensemble". Raise the horns and join the festivities! The track is the b-side from the band's "The bones of generations" 7", the second of a four-part vinyl single collection from "The raging sun", still as yet to be completed. The sound quality is imperfect since it's a vinyl rip, but it's still awesome.

I'm a slacker so there's no new profile piece this week, but I did manage to post a crapload of new reviews: [click here]
I don't know how I find the time, but my extra-curricular activities just keep growing. This week I was given the honor of contributing to a post on shoegaze at Mars Needs Guitars alongside many other esteemed music bloggers such as Frank from Chromewaves and David from Largehearted Boy. My contribution? Silverbullit, naturally. Read the whole piece: http://marsneedsguitars.blogspot.com/2006/06/for-love-of-shoegaze.html
The good news is that Rupesh Cartel has signed with Megahype Records in Sweden and A Different Drum in North America. The bad news? The album release has been pushed back to 2007, but the first single should arrive this fall.
