Extrablatt! Extrablatt!

Was that almost three weeks of silence? Well, it´s not that nothing would have happened since my last post, rather on the contrary. But as you know, we´re living in busy times and the time-frame for a new entry did not present itself until now. And lo and behold!
I got quite some news to tell:

[di: unru:] has found a new drummer! To be exact, he actually found us (thank you, marvellous muusikoiden.net page). His name is Antti Meriläinen, he´s originally from Oulu and a real powerhouse behind the kit! We´re pretty stoked about our new member and can not wait to get the band back on track.

And if Antti´s enthusiasm wouldn´t be enough already to do the trick, the following is surely kicking our asses real good: A brilliant review of our first demo in the latest issue of Inferno, THE magazine for heavy music in Finland!

And here´s a translation in case your Finnish is a bit rusty:

"[di: unru:] is a Finnish-German trio that jams somewhere between punk, heavy-rock and metal. The band´s simple attack is incredibly compelling and cultivates an AC/DC-like uncomplex primal force and catchy melodies.
Although you can´t find another masterpiece like the bank-breaking opener Soapbox Dictator on the record, the group´s manly attitude crushes everything underneath it masterfully. The three-man collaboration is an enjoyable listen and Jan Ferres´ rough vocals fit in like a nose to a face. It´s a known fact that the fewer parts you have in a machine, the more likely it is to function. And of this fact the band is a great token. Perfect playing and perfect rock songs with a rigid attitude."

Things are looking up again, at last!

Danke, El Morriso! Thanks, Elena! Kiitos, Uschi! I´m really happy about the recent events. Losing the drummer means losing the band´s heartbeat and it´s not easy to find a transplant. I can´t believe we found Antti so fast! And the review is a great calling card for the band, I have to send a bottle of Jaloviina to the guys at Inferno to say thanks.
