Not that I suspect it was ever really in doubt, but Millencolin has now officially resigned with Burning Heart Records for another two albums. The band's next release is currently being wrapped up for a release around March of 2005.

Finland's Fullsteam Records was named indie label of the year at the Finnish Music&Media Industry Awards last weekend. Coming up next for the label will the debut label from Damn Seagulls, entitled "One night at Sirdie's". The CD hits on January 1 and the vinyl comes out beforehand sometime in December. Download a soundclip here: http://www.fullsteamrecords.com/mp3/damnseagulls/onceuponatime_clip.mp3
After that, the label will be putting out Disco Ensemble's second album. The band will begin recording at Fascination Street Studio (ex-Kuling) with Jens Bogren (Millencolin, Soilwork, Deep Insight) in November and should be ready for release in February.

Millencolin frontman Nikola Sarcevic will be taking his solo act on the road with four gigs in Germany this December. Backing him will be various folks from The Peepshows and Bombshell Rocks. Dates:

12/07 - Molotow, Hamburg
12/08 - Mud Club, Berlin
12/09 - Prime Club, Köln
12/10 - Amadeus, Oldenburg

Millencolin is posting updates and video footage from their currently ongoing recording session as they work on their new album: http://www.millencolin.com/

Highly regarded Swedish grindcore band Nasum has signed with Burning Heart Records after putting out their previous three albums with US-based metal label Relapse. The alliance makes perfect sense as both the band and label are intertwined in many ways. Both are based in the city of Örebro and singer/guitarist Mieszko Talarczyk founded his Soundlab Studios with Mathias from now-current labelmates Millencolin. BHR will release the recently completed new album "Shift" in October and Relapse has already licensed it for the US and should hopefully have it out around the same time. Ritual will take care of Japan. Read more: http://www.burningheart.com/news/article.php?id=111

Millencolin frontman Nikola Sarcevic will get his debut solo album "Lock-Sport-Krock" released in the US on July 13 via Epitaph Records.

Millencolin report that they've written about 20 songs for their next album, 12-14 of which will make the final cut. Chips Kiesbye from Sator will produce and recording is scheduled to begin on August 7 at Kuling Studios in Örebro, Sweden.

Millencolin has announced they will be playing the Burning Heart 'Heartattack' tour in September. Dates so far:

09/03 - Valhall, Oslo (NOR)
09/05 - Forum, Copenhagen (DK)
09/10 - Hovet, Stockholm (SWE)
09/12 - Helsingin jäähalli, Helsinki (FIN)
