KOLDBRANN
Season of Mist is proud to present the latest addition to the Underground Activists division: True Norwegian Black Metal act KOLDBRANN!
„KOLDBRANN are pleased to announce that from this moment on, Season of Mist will be handling our nekrotic business”, vocalist Mannevond states. „As one of the leading dealers of aural blasphemy, we are confident that they will serve as the tool needed to spread our gospel of oppression. We have kept you waiting, but rest assured, we have been striving in our cellars, slowly and persistently chiseling out our utmost arrogant and depraved work to date. Sordid details will follow. The time is ripe, let the end times roll!”
The band’s third full-length album should hit the stores early 2013. In the meantime, on November 16th to be exact, KOLDBRANN will unleash „Totalt Sjelelig Bankerott”, a 7″ single including a song from the forthcoming album (which title is yet to be unveiled) and an exclusive B side entitled „Kasjtjeijs Svøpe”. The single will also be available digitally.
Last but not least, KOLDBRANN’s first two albums „Nekrotisk Inkvisition” and „Moribund”, as well as 2008’s „Stigma: På kant med livet” EP, will be reissued on Season of Mist later on!

CHAOSTAR
Christos Antoniou, SEPTICFLESH’s guitarist and CHAOSTAR’s mastermind, issued the following update:
„CHAOSTAR is in the exciting position to announce the participation of the emblematic David Vincent (MORBID ANGEL) to the forthcoming album. David narrates the prologue of the most vicious song on the album, shading his dark and imposing shadow over the band’s music. I consider that cooperation as one of the most representative of CHAOSTAR’s new work. A tragic heroin taken from the ancient Greek tragedies meets the devilish power of the unsurpassable voice of Mr.Vincent.”
CHAOSTAR’s forthcoming album, which title is yet to be announced, will be released next year.
ETHS
We are sorry to announce that singer Candice is leaving French modern Metal act ETHS. Here is Candice’s full statement on the subject:
„It is with deep sorrow that I am informing you of my departure from the band. I am leaving four friends, two of which I even consider as brothers.
„I made this choice for personal and family reasons. It has been very hard to make this decision and to face the truth about my longings and a passion that is no longer strong enough to prevail. I can’t live unconditionally for music and its listeners anymore. Although the stage remains an outlet, I can’t live up to such a demanding job anymore. I have been living for music for the past 15 years and it has given me back so much, but there are now things I can’t sacrifice anymore and I need to take care of my family and stay with them.
„The band wants to go on, as the guys are still burning with a rage and a motivation that I don’t have anymore – you can’t cheat with things that have to come from your heart, body and soul. I am begging you to keep ETHS and the people who will replace me close to your hearts. This is the end of a chapter but you have to give a chance to novelty and change. I am definitely not irreplaceable. Until the band finds a permanent successor, two people will share the vocal duties and I asked my friend Virginie from KELLS (please be nice to her) to be one of them. Before that, I will carry out the remaining gigs until October to bid you farewell and enjoy my last moments on stage. This may surprise you and the last shows may be emotionally painful, but I prefer to talk about it publicly now.
„I wish to thank all those who have been supporting us since our early days in 1999, our friends, people from the music business who believe in ETHS and, of course, the fans without whom nothing would have ever been possible. ETHS’ fans are so kind-hearted and gave me so much love and gratitude along the years that I will cherish those memories forever. I have been through wonderful times thanks to you and have been keeping all gifts and notes in a box. Thank you again.
„I guess you will ask me a lot of questions regarding my departure but please respect my silence. I told you all you need to know.
„Last but not least, I wish to thank ETHS and the music, which taught me so much about surpassing oneself, willpower, tolerance, writing and all the things that made me become the person I am today.
„Thank you all and see you soon.”
Season of Mist thank Candice for her work and dedication and wish her all the best for the future.
