Category: Krigshot news

During Saturday the recording of the new Krigshot LP (upgraded from 12" so it seems...) was completed when non-Örebro members Björn and Poffen came to play bass and sing. The first thing we did though was to shoot some fancy promophotos for future use. I think they can be quite good, but I haven't seen them yet.

Then Poffen and I got working with the vocals. A few hours later, the 17 Krigshot songs was blessed with a classic Swedish hardcore voice. The stuff takes a punkier approached now compaired with previous material as Poffen's voice is much more punk than Mieszko's hardcore voice. Both great of course, but this is a real development for Krigshot. Some might be surprised when they will hear it, but this is exactly the type of vocals we want. Pure classic Swedish hardcore.

Björn then plugged the Fender bass straight into the computer, as I am adding distortion and stuff during the mix. While guitar pretty sounds like crap lined into the computer, bass sounds really good and of course it helps that Björn's Fender sounds really, really good.

I shot a few short video clips with my digital camera during the bass takes. The videos has been encoded with DivX, so you need that to see it.

Clip 1: Björn records a very strange bass part
Clip 2: Jallo shows the rhythm for Björn

Since I have no monitors you will not hear any of the recorded music, which especially makes the second clip hilarious.

This upcoming week we will work on the mix and artwork as Communichaos wan't to start the production as soon as possible (a late March release is to be expected), and - news since last time - Profane Existance will do the US version of the LP. Nice one.

Finally, here are some shots from this second day of recording. Enjoy!

Category: 100% Nasum

As mentioned earlier I recently came across some minidiscs with a few shows from the Napalm Death tour in 2000. Today I borrowed a MD player from a friend and had a quick listen to the discs. Most of them sounded like shit, but I think I can do something with a few, so I will at least transfer them to my computer and see what happens when I start to turn the knobs slightly.

Among the discs was a show taped in Belgium December 10th 2000 and if you really know your Nasum history you might remember that Jesper had to leave the tour with three shows left due to some important exam he had to take. Those three last shows included somw very rare Nasum shows with a line up consisting of Mieszko and I, Shane Embury, Jesse Pintado and Mitch Dickinson (of Hersey and Unseen Terror fame, then working with odds and ends on the tour) in a few different formations.

This is really rare shit and it was quite fun listening to the show and remembering that we never rehearsed properly with Shane and Mitch (who shared bass duties), just going through the songs "unplugged" in dressing rooms and on the bus. Quite amazing that we managed to compile a short but sweet setlist during those conditions.

Anyway, allthough the sound is far from good on this recording I will do my best to share it with you all in a few weeks or so.

There might be more rare stuff coming along, like a few exclusive rehearsal tracks and so forth, something that might be considered as companion material to "Grind Finale".
