This might just be this year’s most interesting compilation:

On the bonus-CD you will find such cool projects as: C.Aarmé with the help of At The Gates and Entombed members on a new C.Aarmé track, Nine with vocalist(s) from Haunted doing “United Forces” by S.O.D., Division Of Laura Lee and Ebbot from Soundtrack Of Our Lives punking up Minor Threat, Millencolin doing an Asta Kask cover with Miezko from Nasum on guest-vocals, and Turbonegro featuring Brody Dalle from The Distillers on vocals covering Agent Orange.

Not out until August, though.

This really sucks. I’ve been looking forward to the “Close-Up made us do it” tour finale in Stockholm because it had such an insanely good lineup (Raised Fist, Disfear, Entombed and Turbonegro). A while ago it was announced that Raised Fist would cancel the tour and Nine would take their place. Since Raised Fist’s “Dedication” was possibly the best record released under 2002, and I had heard much about their insane live shows, I was not too pleased. However, Nine has some decent songs and are a good live act as well, so it wasn’t too bad.

Now, Nine cancels as well, due to a planning fuckup. What the hell?! RF canceled because their singer got vocal cord inflammation (is that the proper english term? “stämbandsinflammation”) which I can sort of understand, but canceling due to bad planning? Come on!

Also, due to schedule conflicts I will most likely miss Disfear, so I’ll probably end up just seeing Entombed and Turbonegro. However, as I’m getting older I find it harder and harder to enjoy really long show. Maybe it’s all for the best, just two intense shows with two really really good bands.
