"Former Emperor drummer Bard G. Eithun (aka Faust) has revealed that he's been chosen as the drummer for the first Dissection album since Storm of the Light's Bane.
Apparently, frontman Jon Nödtveit is planning on rehearsing for the album in spring 2003, uniting two former convicts Eithun and Nödtveit in what will be a publicity stampede, and possibly one of the most anticipated albums to come from the death metal world. Not much is known at this point.
Eithun, however, is busying himself with a variety of projects. The drummer's involvement in early Thorns material (1990-1992) will be issued by Norwegian controversial artist Bjarne Melgaard, while Eithun is also penning the lyrics for the forthcoming Zyklon full-length. And that's not all: Italian black metallers Aborym have requested Eithun's services on their forthcoming album, where he'll provide spoken word passages over the phone to be included on the release; lyrics are also part of the plan.
And in more related news, Eithun, Zamoth (Zyklon, ex-Emperor) and Lars-Stian of Source Of Tide have formed a side-project. This jam-oriented band so far hasn't be described, but apparently the three will take the band slowly. Also, the busy drummer is involved in a Norwegian black metal documentary, which will supposedly shed clear light on the events of the early- to mid-'90s. "
Just out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about this? Does listening to a band with two convicted murderers taint them in any way for you? Do you think it's BS that they were released so quickly?
