Norwegian Black-Folk metallers GALAR are streaming the track “Ván” on the band’s MySpace page, as a foretaste of their forthcoming album "Til Alle Heimsens Endar". Due for release on Dark Essence Records on the 1st March, "Til Alle Heimsens Endar" will be GALAR’s sophomore album, whose eight tracks delve into ancient history of the band’s homeland.  The title of the album itself means "until the ends of all worlds", and is taken from Snorri Sturluson's "Heimskringla”, which was originally written around 1230 in Old Norse and is the best known of all the sagas that recount the history of the Norwegian Kings of old.  Written by Jorge "Blutaar" Scholz, the lyrics to "Til Alle Heimsens Endar" are all in Norwegian, and the band has provided introductory notes in English, together with an explanation of each track. “Ván” can be heard at www.myspace.com/galarmetal.

"Eparistera Daimones", the forthcoming debut album by Triptykon, the group founded by former Hellhammer/Celtic Frost singer and guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior, is not only musically a leviathan. Remarkably, the album will also feature the epic artwork by renowned Swiss artist H.R. Giger and New York-based surrealist Vincent Castiglia. In an exceptionally rare gesture, HR Giger has granted Triptykon the use of his dramatic painting "Vlad Tepes" (work no. 412, 200 x 140 cm, acrylic on paper on wood, 1978). It is the artist's first authorized appearance on an album cover in 17 years, and the second time he collaborates with Warrior (following Celtic Frost's "To Mega Therion" album in 1985).
