Lithuanian industrial label has just released a new CD collection entitled "Revenge?! Yes! Nordic Audio Modern 2012" which is pretty much exactly what it says it is: http://www.autarkeia.org/main.php?lang=en&menu=label&ac=releases&id=1841
Said comp features brand new music from Deutsch Nepal as well as In Slaughter Natives, Trepaneringsritualen, Survival Unit and more. There was also a live festival to coincide with the project, but it already happened earlier this month and I wasn't paying close enough attention to give you a heads-up.
Swedish songwriters Thomas Denver Jonsson (I'm Kingfisher) and Markus Svensson (The Tarantula Waltz) have started a new collaborative project and are planning on doing an EP together.

I get a lot of garbage via the new contact form, but when the message says only "Hail Satan from Finland!" and includes a video link like this, you can bet that I'll be paying attention! For tech-heads, read all about the shoot right here, otherwise I'm still catching up and won't be back up to full speed until next week.
