Northern Vantage

Last year's best demo release, "Viscera Terræ" by Drowned, is finally available again. This Death Metal masterpiece was a limited tape release that sold out pretty quickly in early 2006, but can now be had on vinyl from the fine Greek label Nuclear Winter. As reported here before, a CD version is planned to follow from Worship Him in a couple of months.

Other good news is that Drowned will play live again. Only one gig so far, but here's for hoping. Taken from their news section:

Drowned will appear live for the first time since 1998 on the Black Mass Ritual Fest in Kouvola, Finland (16.–17.11.2007). Check Alive (undead) section for details.

Drowned have T-shirts available from their site again, as well.
