Ef debut to get vinyl reissue, more

Ef is getting Magnus Lindberg (Tonteknik Studios/Cult of Luna) to remix and remaster their debut album "Give me beauty... or give me death!" for a vinyl rerelease. They'll also be tacking a previously unreleased track from 2006 onto the album called "Misinform the uninformed" that they never finished but recently remedied by added extra adornment. German label Kapitän Platte will be handling the pressing and it will be 2xLP with heavy silkscreened sleeves in a limited edition of 600 copies with the first 100 being extra special for preorder customers. And speaking of Kapitän Platte, they're also doing the vinyl press for Immanu El's recent release "Moen". Details: http://www.kapitän-platte.de/

"Hang with me" in the Pfork Playlist

Hellsongs - Heaven can wait (video)

Hellsongs are pure schtick and I can't fully back them, but I do enjoy a good number of their well-chosen covers. This Iron Maiden tune translates to their style amazingly well and I think I may also like their new vocalist better than the original. If I believed in guilty pleasures this would surely qualify, but there's no shame in having a little fun. Direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8JgkhsEjzg
