Grind Finale vinyl re-issue released

Newspost • Posted: November 6, 2012 12:39:39
Back in 2006 I was approached by a guy called Mike from Unrest Records in Canada. He wanted to do a vinyl release of the "Grind Finale" compilation, which had been released on a 2xCD in digibook by Relapse. I was reluctant at first, because the main sources of the material in the compilation wer...

A Tribute to Nasum is released

Newspost • Posted: January 19, 2010 21:37:36
Today I got my copies of the Nasum tribute released by Power-It-Up. I am not going to review the album but what I can say is that is a sort of surreal feeling that goes through my head when I listen to it. It's 50-odd songs that I have heard a million times - in the rehearsal room, live on stage, on...
