So this is the new Dimmu Borgir clip. Can't say that I care much for the song (no surprise), but I like the new outfits. However, a bald guy with a mustache will never, ever be scary no matter how much he mugs at the camera. Direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KzzbYp7NtY

Gaffa is reporting that Hans-Erik Dyvik Husby aka Hank von Helvete (ex-Turbonegro) is set to star in the title role of "Cornelis", an upcoming Swedish bio film about beloved troubadour Cornelis Vreesvijk coming in November: http://gaffa.se/nyhet/42907
Mr. Helvete is also recording a couple Vreesvijk tunes for the soundtrack and will be doing an album with Cornelis' son, Jack Vreesvijk.
Swedish act Loud As Light (ex-The Idle Hands) have a new two-track single posted for free download: http://loudaslight.bandcamp.com/
It's not remotely metal, but it's produced by Dan Swanö should that name interest you. Personally, I'm into the b-side "Hearts" more than the flip.
