Why didn't anyone tell me the song was about IRC? That's some serious next-level nerd genius. I love it.

Good heavy rock. I dig it.

Enter the Hunt's debut full-length "For life. 'Til death. To Hell. With love" has been confirmed for release on August 23. There's no samples from the album yet, but you can still preview three tracks from the "Become the prey" EP on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/entertheHunt
Definitely recommended for people in melodic heaviness ala Khoma or Closer. Or 'intelligent heavy rock', as I like to say.

Aftonbladet reports that BassHunter's "Boten Anna" will get an international release: http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,862378,00.html (in Swedish)

To What End? and WitchHunt will be releasing a split 7" in September, just in time for a European tour.

MP3: Mustasch - I hunt alone

Download today's mp3 and listen to that chunky guitar tone. It doesn't get much meatier than that! And the swagger of that riff perfectly compliments the guitar-tone. When Ralf Gyllenhammar comes in with his wailing vocals and the guitar parts split into harmony, you may just be tempted to throw up the devil horns. Do it! Despite the silly name, Mustasch is not some semi-ironic, Johnny-come-lately metal band. As exemplified by the recent LOTFP manifesto on so-called 'False Metal', there's a mighty thin line between what metalheads consider to be true and the poseurs who pollute the scene. It probably all seems ridiculous to the outsider, but any long-time metal fan will assure you that it really truly is an important issue. Mustasch's 2002 debut full-length "Above all" is a modern classic of true Heavy Metal (with capital letters). It's got all the best elements from bands such as Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and old-school Metallica, but with the extra heaviness made possible by today's recording technology. Many bands try, few succeed.

Mustasch - I hunt alone

Enter the Hunt's debut EP "Become the Prey" will be released on June 14.
