INDIE NOISELETTER UKE 03 2014 MARK LANEGAN Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011 (2CD/3LP) SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS Give The People What They Want (CD/LP+MP3) ISKALD Nedom og Nord (CD/LP) SUICIDAL ANGELS Divide And Conquer (CD) Light In The Attic are set to shine a spotlight on this great American performer and songwriter with the release of Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011. Collecting Lanegan’s solo material for Sub Pop, Beggars and more plus 12 unreleased tracks, this is the archive treatment Mark has long deserved. It is released in two sumptuous formats: a Double-CD edition with a gatefold, tip-on jacket and a 44-page booklet comprising handwritten lyrics and rare archive photos by Charles Peterson and Steve Gullick, and a Triple-LP box set, each LP in single pocket jackets within a heavy, tip-on slip case, with a 20page book featuring the same attention to detail and extras as the CD release. The 32 tracks shine a light on Mark’s rare talent, and span the singer’s entire career, from 1990’s debut album The Winding Sheet to a treasure trove of recent unreleased gems and feature such guests as PJ Harvey, Josh Homme and J Mascis. His is a sound of grizzled vocals and dark melody, its lyrics chiseled out of late night thoughts and dark humor. This past spring, Daptone Records had just announced the August release of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ Give the People What They Want when Sharon Jones was diagnosed with cancer. The scheduled release and supporting tours were immediately put on hold and all efforts were quickly shifted to her treatment and recovery. It brings great joy and relief to announce that after a successful operation, ongoing treatment, and the continued support and love of friends, family, and fans, Sharon Jones is Back. For over a decade, the band has traveled the world, blowing minds with their explosive live performances and their raw, handcrafted studio recordings. While other artists have ridden the crests and troughs of passing fads, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have bypassed the hype-and-hit superhighway and taken a detour straight to the hearts and bodies of their listeners, transcending fleeting trends and demographics and delivering a visceral rhythm and soul sound to an everexpanding base of deeply loyal fans. Give the People What They Want is poised to become not only an iconic album from a prolific band, but a fixture in the canon of Soul Music. Two winters has passed since the release of “The Sun I Carried Alone”, Iskald’s previous record that saw the light of day in February 2011. As all their releases, this as well received critical acclaim and great feedback from fans all over the world. For two years, they have been writing their latest epos. Finally, on the third winter, they return with their fourth fulllength effort “Nedom og Nord”. If SUICIDAL ANGELS taught us anything over the past couple of years, it`s gotta be that fine thrash metal doesn`t have to stem from the Bay Area or the Ruhr area / Germany in order to damage your neck muscles!!! Since their debut “Eternal domination” was released in 2007, this Greek bunch continues to prove with every album how do to things the old school way. Still, the fourpiece is far from living in the past. Sure you can compare the typical SUICIDAL ANGELS sound to that of genre veterans such as KREATOR, but their input into the current thrash revival is bursting with insane riff ideas, a massive and modern production and a unique and energetic live presence – the latter was clearly the case during their 2012 FULL OF HATE tour with CANNIBAL CORPSE, BEHEMOTH, LEGION OF THE DAMNED and MISERY INDEX. -Anthology co-produced by Mark Lanegan -Double CD housed in a handsome gatefold “tip-on” jacket, including 44-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos -Vinyl box set includes three “tip-on” jackets, housed in a custom “tip-on” slip case, with a 20-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos -Includes 12 unreleased tracks TRACKLIST: Se forhåndsomtake tidligere skriv Best#: LITA104 (,-) 0826853010429 Best#: LITA104LP (,-) 0826853010412 Label: Light In The Attic LP – single LP with MP3 download including bonus material CD – single CD with additional photo book and extended layout.

Each of the four studio albums from which material in this set is drawn is now multi-platinum selling releases; that’s what you call success. The set list this evening is stuffed with classic numbers - including a brace of Top 40 single hits. PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED 1978 RADIO BROADCAST Having achieved worldwide sales in excess of 30 million albums, and scoring 20 top ten singles and seven albums, Heart were inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. This superb live broadcast was made right at the height of Heart’s most successful period, in late 1978. The concert took place at Pittsburgh’s prestigious Civic Arena, a venue that could accommodate about 16,000 fans for concert performances. PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED 1973 DOOBIE BROTHERS RADIO BROADCAST This powerful radio broadcast captures The Doobie Brothers at their absolute prime; their best loved album, ‘The Captain and Me’ was released in March 1973, just 2 months prior to the show from which this recording was captured live. DARKTHRONE knew very well what they were talking about when the composed the anthem „Canadian metal“ a few years back – pure steel grows in the land of maple syrup and raccoons!!! SKULL FIST give us proof for that theory with their unadulterated and unabashed heavy metal. Is there anybody out there who could ever forget a smasher like “No false metal”? There you go. Since these young Canadians scored the Rock The Nation Award in 2010, the career of singer Jackie Slaughter and his gang has skyrocketed: their debut “Head öf the pack” has been unleashed on the hungry metal masses by NoiseArt Records in 2011 and collected rave reviews worldwide. SKULL FIST went on tour with BULLET, ENFORCER, SABATON and POWERWOLF and were greeted everywhere by ravished merch tables, raised fists and thousands of new fans!!! - Produced and mixed by Eric Rats (Billy Talent, Cancer Bats) TRACKLIST: 1.

Sadly, little documentation of his work exists, and ‘Late One Saturday Evening’ offers a rare chance to take a close look at the Virginia bluesman. • This stereo recording, made at a house party in 1966, was never intended for commercial release. It’s simply an informal jam session with Seward up front and Terry (harmonica, vocals), McGhee (acoustic guitar, vocals) and washboard player Washboard Doc offering their support. • No marketing considerations, no slick producer - just some very talented friends getting together and having some spontaneous fun. The sound quality is surprisingly good, and Seward’s inspired, uninhibited performances prove that he was TRACKLIST: 01. Everyone I Hate Should Be Killed 02. New York Bands 03. Call Your Guy 04.

This film not only traces the history of this underground scene, but also explores its impact on the pre-eminent Britishgroupoftheera,TheBeatles.Althoughtheywere well established by the time the movement emerged, Paul McCartney in particular, was closely linked with several of its key players, and through his exposure to cutting edge concepts brought ideas directly from the avant-garde into the mainstream.Featuring many new interviews with key players from the time including; IT editor and long term friend of Paul McCartney, Barry Miles;founderofITandUFOcluborganiser,John‘Hoppy’ Hopkins; founder of UFO and Pink Floyd producer, Joe Boyd; Soft Machine drummer, Robert Wyatt; drummer from experimental improvisational collective AMM, Eddie Prevost; proprietor of Indica, the counter-cultural gallery, John Dunbar; Underground scenester, vocalist with The Deviants and IT journalist, Mick Farren (RIP); plus author of ‘Days in the Life: Voices from the English Underground 1961 – 1971’, Jonathon Greene; Beatles expert, Chris Ingham and Mojo jounalist Mark Paytress. Also includes rare archive footage, photographs from private collections and music from The Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Soft Machine, AMM and others. She’s the most exciting pop star to have emerged since Madonna hit the scene over 30 years ago, and with their shared religious backgrounds Katy and Madge have more in common than just huge talents as performers, dancers, musicians, composers and as women who know only to well how to use their enormous sex appeal to their own benefit through skill and with dignity. But this of course is the early 2010s not the early 1980s and centre stage today in the overcrowded world of pop-music stands a new “Queen of the Genre” who is already established as the First Lady of Music in this and, almost certainly, future decades. The double DVD set contains two separate films about Katy Perry. The first of these is the classic Katy documentary The Girl Who Ran Away - the finest film about this dynamic performer yet to emerge. But in this package it is complimented by a brand new and otherwise unavailable film, Katy Perry – In Her Own Words which features numerous filmed interviews with Katy from across her career to date and in which the girl herself reveals an enormity of new information that – coming from those very luscious lips – can – unlike most of the hype that gets churned out – be treated with confidence as the naked truth. Packaged in deluxe digi-style 6 panel casing, featuring colour photos throughout plus KP quotes, montage imagery and more, this is one DVD set that will appeal to every fan of this extraordinary woman. The most talented and original of the new wave of female pop stars who emerged at the end of the old and beginning of the new Millenniums, Avril Lavigne has carved a very different niche in music from those who are often considered her contemporaries. And now, having spent well over a decade doing what she both loves and excels at, Avril remains probably the most popular and certainly still the most unique of the class of 2000, as she prepares the release of her latest collection of songs – tipped to be among here finest to date. This 2DVD box set is a celebration of Avril Lavigne’s longevity, sincerity and raw undiluted talent, all of which have contributed greatly to the humongous success of Canada’s foremost singing superstar. Featuring a DVD documentary charting her dynamic rise to stardom, and a compilation of filmed interviews with the girl herself stretching right across her career to date, this set is certain to become an Avril collectable of the first order and will prove a delight for her millions of fans across the globe.

At home my folks were also listening to country music - Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Vern Gosdin were some of our favourites. For a long time I’ve wanted to make a record that gave me the same feeling those old records did, using some of the same tunes I loved as a kid and some that I’ve loved as I have gotten older. This record is it. ‘Imitations’.” • The LP format comes with a copy of the album on CD. • Although he has long been known as a characterdriven songwriter, Okkervill River’s Will Sheff announced that this album is a work of autobiography. • ‘The Silver Gymnasium’ is set in a very specific time andplacefromSheff’schildhood-in1986inthesmall town of Meriden, NH, where Sheff’s parents worked as teachers for a boarding school. Sheff conceived the album as a tribute to the spirit of pre-adolescence, meant to evoke the nostalgic feeling of “an action figure you found in the woods.” • This was also the era of video games like ‘Leisure Suit Larry’, ‘Maniac Mansion’, and ‘King’s Quest’. To pay homage to those early games, Sheff created his own online adventure game in partnership with Eyes And Ears’ Benjamin Miles. • The album comes on CD, deluxe double vinyl, and digital download. • The vinyl format comes with a copy of the album on CD. Airbag returns with a new album called ’The Greatest Show on Earth’, their third on Karisma Records. After the two highly acclaimed albums, ‘Identity’ (2009) and ‘All Rights Removed’ (2011), ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is of course a muchanticipated album. Airbag are continuing their journey through atmospheric soundscapes and serious topics, creating cinematic pictures and bringing out emotions, pulling the listener into their world. They’re still giving us the Airbag sound, and this time the album is a bit rougher and with some heavier parts. ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is a great step forward for Airbag, and ads new elements to the delightful Airbag universe. ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is yet a modern masterpiece for fans of late Pink Floyd, Blackfield, Talk Talk, A-Ha, Porcupine Tree and Anathema.

OBLITERATION Black Death Horizon (CD/LP) MIDLAKE Antiphon (CD/LP+CD) BILL CALLAHAN Dream River (CD/LP) MAZZY STAR Seasons Of Your Day (CD/ 2LP+MP3) MONSTER MAGNET Last Patrol (CD/2LP) #9 ÅRETS NORSKE ALBUM/DAGBLADET OBLITERATION is a young Death metal band from Kolbotn, Norway. They started out in 2001 and have ever since left a trail of destruction behind them with HELLBLAZING gigs and rock solid releases. OBLITERATION released the debut album “Perpetual Decay” in May 2007 which got great reviews worldwide.In 2009 OBLITERATION unleashed upon this earth their second album, Nekropsalms through the Norwegian label Fysisk Format. “Nekropsalms” is a cosmic blend of old school death metal mixed with the best elements from doom, punk, thrash and old school black metal, and after 8 years, OBLITERATION have finally found their own repulsive style. The album got rave reviews worldwide, both in the underground and in more mainstream circuits. Now, in MMXIII, Obliteration returns after a three year hiatus with a devastating monument of death. Recorded once again in their own DIY studio at Kolbotn, to capture the band’s fire on tape, “Black Death Horizon” delivers seven sepulchral tracks of haunting death metal. • Anyone who knows Midlake’s preceding albums will recognise some constituent parts of ‘Antiphon’: the quirky psychedelia of 2004 debut ‘Bamnan And Slivercork’, the 70s soft rock strains of breakthrough album ‘The Trials Of Van Occupanther’ and the Brit-folk infusion of 2010’s ‘The Courage Of Others’. This, their fourth album, is another fascinating departure, as well as being a logical progression too. • The vinyl format of ‘Antiphon’ includes a copy of the album on CD. Cabin crew, prepare for landing! Gliding through low altitudes, Bill Callahan has set his sites on the runway. It is 2013 and he’s ready to land again, with a full cargo for the people down below on earth. From way up high, everything looks so small. But then you land and it swallows you whole. You disappear into the little models, and the trains keep rolling by. And the lights go on and off again. And the trucks on the highway, bound for parts unknown. The musical modes are exquisite, aquatic; shifting in delicate but deliberate undetectable time as Bill’s lyrics wander from yard to yard. Mazzy Star have announced the worldwide release of their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album, Seasons Of Your Day on 27th September, 2013. CowrittenbyHopeSandovalandDavidRoback,Seasons Of Your Day was recorded in California and Norway. The album features performances by all the original members of Mazzy Star along with special guests includingColmO’Ciosoig(MyBloodyValentine)anda special appearance by the late, legendary Bert Jansch in a guitar duet of chilling intensity with David Roback on the song “Spoon”. Seasons Of Your Day was produced by David Roback and Hope Sandoval. The album is being released on their own label, Rhymes Of An Hour Records. Formats will include CD, 180g vinyl double LP, and digital download. Seasons Of Your Day is Mazzy Star’s fourth studio LP, preceded by She Hangs Brightly (1990), So Tonight That I Might See (1993) and Among My Swan (1996). The band performed a series of concerts in 2012 and will be announcing new North American and European tour dates for the autumn of 2013. Considered one of the most creative, diverse, and hard-rocking of contemporary American bands, Monster Magnet is credited with pioneering “stoner rock”. They’re noted for the uniqueness of their sound, their authenticity as a band, their ability to grow musically, and the intelligence and wit of their songs. Fusing garage rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, punk and psychedelia – Last Patrol is Monster Magnet’s tenth studio album and a testament to everything they stand for. In addition to musical influences, the band has always been inspired by comic book, science fiction, horror movies, and B-movies by filmmakers such as Roger Gorman and Russ Myer. “Last Patrol is a return to our roots in terms of vibe and recording style. It’s full-on psychedelic spacerock with a 60’s garage feel, recorded almost exclusively with vintage guitars, amps and effects in our hometown of Red Bank, NJ. The songs are a kind of Space-Noir, tales of cosmic revenge, peaking libidos, alienation and epic strangeness. It’s a weird trip through the back alleys of a dark, retro-future, which not by coincidence very much resembles my own life.

The 12 songs on the new album “Lost” mark yet another big step forward in Trentemøller’s career. That trademark haunting feeling that defined both ”The Last Resort” and ”Into the Great Wide Yonder” hasn’t been neglected on “Lost”. It’s just been redefined and made way more ferocious, the signature glitchy bass being replaced by sub woofer frequencies far more pounding. Trentemøller has managed to bring on board a whole rake of fantastic peers, personal influences and sprouting talent in form of guest appearances by Johnny Pierce (of The Drums), legendary slow-core pioneers Low, Jana Hunter (of Lower Dens), Marie Fisker, Ghost Society, Kazu Makino (of Blonde Redhead) and Sune Wagner (of The Raveonettes). The initial edition of the CD will be released as luxury “bookstyle” cardboard package including a full booklet, while the double-vinyl version will be released as limited 180 gr. vinyl gatefold-sleeve including an mp3 download code. •The darkest album from Glittertind and the first as a full band! •“Djevelsvart” is their third full-length album in 12 years! •Norwegian Glittertind gives you a most original blend of folk, metal, punk and hard rock! •GlittertindhastoldthehistoryofNorwaywithNorwegian lyrics, mostly focusing on the end of the Viking era and the time of independency.

Cartwright is referring to the latest Pussy album Up The Dosage, a recording consisting of 13 fast-paced, sharp songs (plus two bonus tracks) which impress with their homogeneity and stylistic complexity. Up The Dosage takes up seamlessly where the 2009 Pussy release From Hell To Texas left off and goes even further. Nashville Pussy came together in 1996. Ever since, the band has been performing a strenuous annual gig marathon, touring with acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Reverend Horton Heat or ZZ Top and played Festivals like Wacken Open Air. Even Albums such as Let Them Eat Pussy (1998), High As Hell (2000), Say Something Nasty (2002) or From Hell To Texas (2009) have caused an international stir, and their single release ´Fried Chicken And Coffee` earned the band a Grammy nomination in the late Nineties in the category ´Best Metal Performance`.

The remaning design incorporates a second Beksiński painting, as well as a painting by English painter John Charles Dollman. The artworks were selected by the band before the recording started and helped influence the direction of the sound as well as the lyrics. Norwegian fivepiece SVARTTJERN already determined with its band name which way the wind blows: the “black tarn” refers to a painting by August Cappelen that perfectly reflects the dark core of the band. Founded in 2003, the Norwegians quickly gained underground fame with their first three demos between 2005 and 2008. Their debut “Misanthropic path of madness” was released in 2009 and shined with hateful, satanic lyrics in combination with the unique 90s style of Norwegian black metal. These sons of Oslo rightfully name their style “True Norwegian black metal”! Three years after the release of second album “Towards the ultimate”, brother HansFyrste (vocals) and HaaN (guitars) plus the rest of the band are now ready to unleash a sinister storm in shape of “Ultimatum necrophilia”! Just like its predecessors, the album was recorded at Marius Strand`s studios – except for the guitars which were recorded at Sæther studios. The grim cover artwork has been conjured up by Linda K Røed who has previously worked for DARKTHRONE and GLITTERTIND.

OVERVIEW WOLVES LIKE US from Oslo, Norway return triumphant with their new album Black Soul Choir, the follow-up to the 2011 debut Late Love. Widely acclaimed across Europe and Scandinavia for their urgent post-hardcore fuelled alternative rock / punk, the band have spent the past two years touring, writing and recording and are now ready to launch their new, ambitious work. Late Love took WOLVES LIKE US throughout Europe on three successful tours with Kvelertak, label mates Junius and the reformed hardcore legends, Swing Kids, and also ensured appearances at prestigious festivals such as OYA in Norway and Groezrock in Belgium. Playing kick ass live shows night after night strengthened the bands dynamic and developed their vision upon returning to their homeland to begin writing their follow-up album. WOLVES LIKE US decided upon producer Mike Hartung and the famous Propellor Studios in Oslo as partners for the new recordings. Mike is well known for his work in Norway with a diverse array of artists from A-HA to Satyricon and proved to be the perfect producer when the band unveiled their Get Gone ep in the Summer of 2013. These new recordings, including a cover of the Quicksand classic Too Official, showed the band was on the move. Bold and epic in its sound, Get Gone was released as a limited, vinyl only 10 last July on Prosthetic Records. Mike continued to work with the band throughout the Summer to complete Black Soul Choir. Here, WOLVES LIKE US capture 11 perfectly crafted songs. The vocals are at the fore, vast and powerful, complimenting the driving riffs, the harmonious rhythms and the thundering percussion. Black Soul Choir will be released worldwide in February 2014 on CD, gatefold LP and via digital download also and presented with atmospheric artwork from Matt Ryan Tobin. Extensive touring is planned throughout the year, commencing with a February EU trek which sees them head out on the road with German post-rock quintet Long Distance Calling and label mates Junius. A further EU tour will be announced for later in the Spring as well as series of Scandinavian dates to coincide. Live: 22.02.14 BERGEN, BLASTFEST TRACKLIST: 1. Conquer All 2. Art Of Ascension 3.
