Some News!

One of Sweden’s newest, scruffiest and back-to-the-roots Punk bands IRON LAMB, consisting of some of extreme Metal’s most prominent figures in the scene, is now officially a part of the Pulverised Records family. Fronted by ex-Repugnant singer Graga Lindström, this all-star line-up also consists of Johan Wallin of General Surgery on guitars, Thomas Daun of Dismember on drums and “Swedish Death Metal Book” author Daniel Ekeroth, also of Tyrant and ex-Insision fame on bass. IRON LAMB is slated to record their debut untitled full-length and should see the light of day in the first quarter of 2010. Comments Pulverised Records A&R Manager Calvin: “IRON LAMB is probably one of the most unlikely kind of band to be on our roster, but their infectious brand of ‘filthrock’ (as what they call it!) and the straight-up MotÖrhead-esque riffs is absolutely something that we missed and loved from the old days. So naturally, there was definitely no question about it when the band approached us to work with them on the debut full-length album!” In the press statement by IRON LAMB axe-man Johan Wallin: "Iron Lamb are stoked on doing our first full-length on Pulverised Records! We are currently working on the songs, and will be ready to record during the first few months of 2010. Expect a whole lot of dubious preaching scumbag rock ‘n roll!"

News!

MORTIIS recently completed work on 2 new videos to coincide with the release of the forthcoming album (working title "The Great Deceiver"). Here´s what frontman MORTIIS had to say: "We filmed the process and uploaded some of the footage to our YouTube channel, for the kids to check out. It´s pretty grisly stuff, but we´re incredibly excited about these videos. It was awesome to be able to just get into the process and being creative without the restrictive input from labels that we struggled with in the past. These videos, like the new music, totally blows everything we´ve ever done in the past, right out of the water, and we can´t wait to go public with all this stuff. We´ve just got so much new stuff going on, and it´s been way too long since we were able to release anything new, we feel like we´re about ready to explode." The "behind the scenes" footage has been uploaded in 3 parts to the official MORTIIS YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/officialmortiis

Included in all 500 copies is a luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the Kristian Wåhlin cover artwork, a 2-sided insert featuring the Paw Nielsen's illustration for "The Light Of Day" EP, a 1.5" round full color button, logo sticker and silk-screened logo patch.

ROOT's 1992 "The Temple In The Underworld" album will also be available again on vinyl format. This time spread over two 180 gram LPs for the best audio fidelity possible, mastered from the original 1992 recording to maintain the original dynamics. The track 'My Deep Mystery', that was omitted from the mega-rare 1992 LP version because of limited space, will be included here again. Strictly limited to a one-time only pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies - 250 of which will be black vinyl and 250 of which will be on gray vinyl, housed in a 350 gram, reverse board printed gatefold jacket featuring the original Jiri Sujan painting supplied by the band, designed after the original release taking elements from the original CD and LP layouts with attention to detail, even down to the typeface, as well as six bonus tracks, handwritten lyrics in both English and Czech and exclusive 2009 liner notes by Jiri "Big Boss" Valter. Included in all 500 copies is a huge, luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the Jiri Sujan artwork and classic band photos, a 1.5" round full color button, logo sticker and logo patch. Due to the limited quantities being printed, and the high cost for the license, this LP set will be slightly more expensive than normal. As with the UTUMNO release there will also be t-shirts as an add-on option with sizes small, medium, large and x-large available here. Heavy gauge, 6.1 oz Gildan 100% cotton, black t-shirt with red logo and the cult "DEMA" NWN LP box set artwork from Chris Moyen, limited to 100.
