This week's Sellfish reviews feature Swedish prog:
Besides contributing to the upcoming Dead Can Dance tribute "The Lotus Eaters" (due out 11/5), Arcana has confirmed that they will record a version of "This Big Hush" by Schriekback for an 80s tribute on Italian label Palace of Worms.
Swedish melodic black-metal act Dissection have confirmed their triumphant return to the live stage for October 30 at Klubben in Stockholm. In case you don't remember, band leader Jon Nödtvedt spent seven years in jail for murder and has just recently gotten the band back together. Tickets are on sale today.
Gluecifer will release "Here Come The Pigs" as their next single. A cover of "Next to you" by The Police and a live version of "Black Book Lodge" will be included as b-sides.
