Glad I am to see the boys back in action! I must confess…this song is stuck in my head. And the video makes me think there must be more to this story. I wonder what that next one will be??
All I have to say is hair dye must be consumed in vast quantities in Finland…
You can now pre-order Poisonblack’s upcoming album “A Dead Heavy Day” at the Northern Tribe website. The album will be released 27 August in Finland (a few days earlier than the rest of Europe, so pre-order it now and get it early!).
Also, Poisonblack’s Official Myspace has the new video for the first single “Bear the Cross”. Its definitely a huge change from the last two albums, but still very good, so go and watch!
Time flies, we’re already nearing the end of the summer festival season even though it feel the summer has just begun. We still have a couple of festival shows coming up and then it’s time to take this circus indoors to shady clubs and concert halls.
This summer has one of the best for our band, our new album Karma Killer has done really well and the gigs we’ve played have been great, lots of people showing up and singing along with the new songs as well as the older ones. So… a big thank you to all of you who have come to our shows!
As you know, from the beginning of the Karma Killer tour in last April, we’ve had Gary as a touring guitar player with us. But, after all these great shows and moments spent together we’ve decided with Larry, Snack, Jay and Antti to continue as a five-piece band from now on. We thank Gary for this summer and wish him all the best for the future!
Our first show without Gary will be at Turku’s Down By The Laituri -festival on August 2nd.
Ok, so its been way too long since I last updated this site, so excuse the sudden posting frenzy. Apparently the Von Hertzen Brothers are supporting Neil Young 7th of August at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki. Quote from the official site: “The gig is sold out, but you can maybe find tickets somewhere”. Good luck everyone!
Indica’s fourth album is titled ‘Valoissa’ and it will be released on the 17th of September!
Here is the track list:
1. Elä
2. Pahinta Tänään
3. 10 H Myöhässä
4. Hiljainen Maa
5. Askeleet
6. Sanoja
7. Valoissa
8. Täältä Pois
9. Pyromaani
10. Hämärää
11. Ei Enää
You can pre-order the record from Record Shop X (they accept credit cards and Paypal, with fast deliveries worldwide).
Another place for pre-ordering is CDON.com.
I’m combining these bits of news into one post, because I don’t feel like posting two. Both Poisonblack, and Charon have posted new songs on their Myspace pages! The new Poisonblack song, Hatelove, is on their Myspace Frontpage and will be on their upcoming album “A Dead Heavy Day”, to be release 1 Sept in Europe (no news on other release dates yet).
Charon’s new song, “End of the World”, has been posted as a live video from Myötätuulirock Festival in their blog
(No info on an album release date yet )
Both songs sound awesome, so enjoy!
