Diverse labelnyheter fra SEASON OF MIST

THE CNK

After their bombastic and acclaimed 2002 debut album "Ultraviolence über alles", The CNK are finally back with their long awaited second coming, to be released next November on Season of Mist.

Pretty soon after he left French black metal act ANOREXIA NERVOSA, badass frontman Hreidmarr was quick to rerun the CNK war machine, together with old comrade Heinrich Von B. joined by harsh EBM star Sylvicious (TAMTRUM) on drums, and by (in)famous Parisian designer Valnoir (SECT) on bass, the CNK dream team is now complete and ready to grind, raze, crush, and piss you off with an incredibly heavy opus of Wagner-like and anti-politically correct electro-metal. Entitled "L'Hymne à la Joie", the band's sophomore album is produced by Stefan Bayle (ANOREXIA NERVOSA), and sounds like Carl Orff drinking Martini with Rammstein and Alec Empire, sitting together on a heap of human corpses, rambling on the death of our modern world. Get in the Klub!

WATAIN VIDEO INTERVIEW

Guitar World's MetalKult.com has posted a new video interview with WATAIN's bassist/vocalist E. and drummer H., in which the Swedish black metal horde talk about their views on the current black metal scene, selling out and bringing its "total death" into the world.

The video was filmed by the MetalKult crew in New York City on May 14, 2007, while WATAIN were touring the U.S. for their latest album, "Sworn to the Dark". Also available on MetalKult.com is live footage of "Sworn to the Dark" from that show.

SALEM SIGNING SESSION

Last June 28th, Israeli extreme metal pioneers SALEM took part in a signing session at the UFO store in Tel Aviv. Check it out YouTube.

ANAAL NATHRAKH GUITAR HERO

Those who haven't played the great PlayStation 2 game "Guitar Hero II" yet have certainly heard about it, at least. Check this hilarious video of the custom-made "Do not speak" song, originally from ANAAL NATHRAKH's "Domine non es dignus" album.
