Xenophobe, Vinlandic - German - Croatian Strikeforce, Vinlandic War Hymns, The Haters

The reported guest guitarist on the up-coming Xenophobe album, "Iceman," is in fact none other than Bid Ed originally of Bound For Glory. While I must admit I have never heard Ed nicknamed this before, it is a great surprise to learn who the supposed "Iceman" is.

Speaking of Big Ed, it seems he is just lending himself everywhere. A brand new three way split from the German label Moloko Versand Plus, features a new side project of Ed, and the one man artist behind The Return of Hyde, titled KG 23, as well as Max Blue and Strong Survive. The CD, titled "Vinlandic - Germanic - Croatian Strikeforce,"

The previously mentioned three way split between Eingar, Kvaanthan and Tyranath is scheduled to be released in August / September on UK based Heidenwut productions.

Out now on Heidenwut productions co-released with At War With False Noise, is nihilistic punk / hardcore The Haters. The release which is over 6 years in the making, is limited to just 300 copies on black vinyl with artwork by Richard Rupenus of The New Blockaders.

Lundsson, Xenophobe, Paranoid

On Friday Lundsson, the creative artist behind Angriff, Titania, Varg, and numerous other projects, announced the that after almost ten years he is discontinuing work in all band projects. Lundsson states that he will continue to pursue music personally, but has no interest in managing any of the previous mentioned projects.

As a personal fan of much of Lundsson's work, I do hope that he continues to create art and provide meaningful music for his fan base; irregardless of band title.
