AC4 get US release, planning tour

AC4's self-titled album will get a US/North American release via Deranged Records on June 30. I'm not sure what the full pressing numbers are, but apparently they'll be doing 100 on green, the rest on black. The band will also be touring the UK in mid-October with European dates to follow in November, but nothing appears to be confirmed/posted yet.

David Sandström + Mixhell

David Sandström (Refused, Final Exit, AC4) and Igor Calavera (Mixhell, ex-Sepultura) jamming out at Scharinska in Umeå on May Day. Not the best quality, but still makes me wish I could've been there.
