Petter is going to be a father. His girlfriend (and Playboy model) Jenny Ksyt is six months along, as Aftonbladet reports. It will be the couple's first child.

Okay, can someone please tell WTF is going on here?!? (in Swedish)

UPDATE: Ola was walking home drunk from a party when the photo was taken, which was then subsequently published in the teen mag Vecko-Revyn in full form. Ola says he remembers the evening in question, but not the lack of pants. Either way, he's not upset. (tack Daniel!)

In more Ark news, the band will be playing in London at the Garage on February 28. They'll also be doing some promo work in Belgium later this week, hoping to continue the positive up-trend they recently started in Germany. Will they break to a bigger, European audience?

Project Hate announces the addition of new vocalist Jo Enckell:

We feel blessed to have the possibility to bring this girl out to a larger audience considering the quality and talent she possesses. The Project Hate has always been about working with the best and Jo fits right in, like our satanic cocks up Jesus' ass.

Well alright then. Anyhow, you can see Jo's profile or read the entire statment on their website. As stated before, the band will entering Soundlab Studios in April to record their next album.
