081215 – Wermland in Japan and on vinyl + Jag Är En Vampyr + Grammis.

Hey.
Wermland was released in Japan on the 7th of November. For more info regarding the release check out P-Vine Records website.

"Wermland" has also been released on vinyl, 500 records were produced for the first LP pressing. It’s released by Jason over at grindingtapes.org, Thank you Jason for helping us out with this.
The LP is available for purchase here:
- Grindingtapes: Buy here. (Accepts international orders)
- Sverige: Beställ här.
- Rest of the world: Buy here.

For every sold record we donate 1 USD to Amnesty. Something else that needs to be mentioned is that the first pressing has a misprint, listing "Hus Vid Havet" as the last track on side A when it's actually the first track on side B.

So the LP is very rare. And we promise, if there’s a second pressing we will change the artwork. If you get your hands on this one, you have something really special.

We did a remix of the Swedish Hit "Jag Är En Vampyr" by Markus Krunegård. The remix has now been released as a B-side on Markus new single "Det är ett idogt jobb att driva ungdomen ut ur sin kropp".
Check out Markus here: myspace.com/markuskrunegrd

We went on to the finals in The Swedish Grammy Awards. And in both categories that we competed in. We wish to thank everyone that has voted for us. Thanks! More stuff soon to come.
