New Hellbillies album in June

Norwegian act Hellbillies will release their new album on June 7. The first single "Leite etter lykka" will be released on March 15.

Irrlicht is a new label founded by Håkan Jonson and Erik Enocksson with a focus on putting out limited edition vinyl records and books. Their first release will be "Misantropi för nybörjare" ("Misanthropy for beginners") by Chicagojazzen (aka Erik Karlsson of Skellefteå, Sweden), an record they describe as "37 minutes worth of instrumental pop, neatly tucked into a bed of tape-hiss and crooked arrangements owing as much to Norwegian second wave black metal and American Eastcoast hiphop as to late '80s Brittish shoegaze." The official release date is April 30 and said LP will be available limited to 250 copies on 140g white vinyl. Release #2 will be "Den vita staden", a poem by Jessica Andersson with an expected release later this coming spring. More here: http://www.irrlicht.se/

PlayRec signs Obstacles

PlayRec has officially signed Danish instrumental/noiserock act Obstacles, a fact that shouldn't be too surprising if you read the label's "Top 10s for 2009" list. Look for them to release the band's debut full-length in August.

The Crypt to reissue Gehenna (NOR)

The Crypt, the reissue arm of Dark Symphonies, has announced that they'll be reissuing Gehenna's "Seen through the veils of darkness" (The second spell) as a 2LP and "Malice" (the third spell, my favorite record of theirs) on 3LP.

Headspin Recordings confirms two new releases

Headspin Recordings will releasing new albums from Ass and Jobalites this spring, with the former's record "Salt marsh" due first in April. Also look out for a new Goran Kajfes album this coming fall.

Dolores to release Kiss Kiss Kiss, Salem al Fakir on vinyl

Dolores Recordings will be releasing the vinyl edition of Danish act Kiss Kiss Kiss' debut album "Release the birds". They'll also be putting out a limited edition (300, hand-numbered) vinyl treatment of the new Salem al Fakir record "Ignore this". No official release date on either, but they say they should be ready in about three weeks.
