The Loveable Tulips - Fortune favours the brave (video)
Here's what I know: The Lovable Tulips are two ladies from Stockholm who recorded some tunes with Mr. Jari Haapalainen of The Bear Quartet. They made a video for one of those tunes and you can see it above. I dig it! Hear more at myspace: https://www.myspace.com/theloveabletulips

Principe Valiente - The night (video)
The video is a mess and the song doesn't really get interesting until minute 3, but even still, mediocre goth rock is better than no goth rock at all. Principe Valiente has potential. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g69EZnRKe0s
Rasmus Kellerman - The 24th (video)
Rasmus Kellerman's "The 24th" is the cure-all for all creeping negativism, reminding us to mindful of all we have to be thankful for. How beautiful life can be, indeed. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1A-pNs7ywM
Blood Command - Alert all assassins (video)
Check out Blood Command's brand new video "Alarm all assassins": https://vimeo.com/14940098
I'd be into it if it didn't have that terrible heavy, screechy part. Animal Alpha could sort of pull off that sort of thing, but even then, it's still grating.
Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (video, feat. Agnete Kjølsrud)
So this is the new Dimmu Borgir clip. Can't say that I care much for the song (no surprise), but I like the new outfits. However, a bald guy with a mustache will never, ever be scary no matter how much he mugs at the camera. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KzzbYp7NtY
Loud As Light - There's a clock
Swedish act Loud As Light (ex-The Idle Hands) have a new two-track single posted for free download: https://loudaslight.bandcamp.com/
It's not remotely metal, but it's produced by Dan Swanö should that name interest you. Personally, I'm into the b-side "Hearts" more than the flip.
Slidin' Slim - Right wing blues
More Swedish election music, this time from Slidin' Slim: https://slidinslim.bandcamp.com/
NNDC - Mouthful of diamonds (video)
Niels Nielsen is now Niels Nielsen DC is now NNDC and this/their cover of "Mouthful of diamonds" by Phantogram is the first release under the expanded moniker. More to come soon? Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2wJ661NaDo
New music from Next Stop: Horizon
Check out Next Stop: Horizon, a new act featuring Pär Hagström and Jenny Roos, both from Cirkus Transmopol: https://www.myspace.com/nextstophorizon
Some of it sounds like a stripped-down version of what came before, but I thought the top track "One of those nights" was pretty good/different.
This Is Head - 0011 (video, etc.)
