Trelldom, kultna norveška black metal zasedba, ki je letos vstala od mrtvih in bo tudi prvič nastopila v živo, je sklenila dogovor o izdaji več dolgometražcev z založbo Prophecy Productions. Prav tako je band okoli kontroverznega frontmana Gaahla (Kristian Eivind Espedal) naznanil, da bo že konec letošnjega leta izšel četrti album, ki bo nasledil zadnjo izdajo Till minne... iz leta 2007.

»It is important to find the right collaboration partners as well as someone who respects and partly understands what we want to convey at all times, which Martin and the people in his company do – art must always come first! Therefore as Trelldom we are very much looking forward to continuing our journey with Prophecy Productions.«

Danska black metal zasedba Solbrud je po 15 letih delovanja in štirih albumih prenehala delovati. Vzrok naj bi bil pomanjkanje motivacije, spodaj pa lahko preberete izjavo banda v celoti.

»Time for some sad news everyone: We have decided to end all activities with Solbrud and are disbanding now. Sorry to disappoint you all but it's the end of the road for us.

The reasons are many - in short we just can't really find the spirit and motivation required to keep this ship running the way it's supposed to. Until recently we had big plans for an upcoming album with David showing the rest of the world what a good match he was with Solbrud. But eventually we couldn’t find the energy to go through with it. We know that David at the moment is working on a solo project and hope y’all will give it a spin when it comes out.

"Alas, there will be no more touring, shows or farewell concerts this time around. We are hosting a big sale at our bandcamp shop to clear out our storage - Come make a good deal while the stock still lasts.

Solbrud has been a 15-year long journey with many profound experiences, highs and lows for us all. Can't really think of anything we would trade it for. We want to extend our gratitude to all you who have listened to the music and supported us through the years. Can't describe in words what it means to us. A special thank you goes to Stefan Klose / Vendetta Records, Peter Mesnickow / Moondrop and Anders Wind / Bullet booking. Feel free to share with us your best Solbrud related moments and add to the nostalgia. All the best.«

»You want Metal? You've got Metal! "Cemetery Rats" is an anthem for all the metalheads and rockers, the kids that society deems the 'weirdos and freaks'! Fuck society! This is a song for everyone that likes to hang out in the graveyard, listening to metal and loving life as the underdog! This is doom, thrash and punk all rolled into one, like the mighty Black Sabbath colliding with classic era-Celtic Frost and Discharge! We are the heavy metal underground, we are the CEMETARY RATS!«
