Molested - "Blod Draum"

Did Molested ever play live or anything? I don't really know anything about the band except that Blod-Draum rules.

Oystein has some very rough live video (I've not seen it yet) that he is messing with for the release. It's not yet been decided if it will be included or not, but I am hoping so. I think it would be a pretty cool addition.

 

[Ars Magna]

Oystein is still messing with some video footage that will definitely be included. We're moving slowly, but at least we're finally moving. He's got a lot going on with Borknagar and Cronian releases, but I'm shooting for a fall release (again).

Here's the new cover art (if this doesn't work, it's on the website, too):

Hurry the fuck up.

 

[Ars Magna]

Oystein is still working on the video footage. Between that, new Cronian and Borknagar material and his family, he's a pretty busy guy. He did, however, send me a few photos yesterday from the Blod-draum recording sessions. He apparently found them at his parents house and didn't even know they existed.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Yeah I understand I'm just getting anxious.

 

[skeptik]

lol swizz is a douche.

The "official" date will most likely be November 30th. If I make it to HC3 I will bring copies for anyone that might be interested.

I'm also a tad bit excited to announce that Dan Swano will be remastering both Blod-draum and Stormvold for the release.

Cool.

status of re-release? really looking forward to this.

 

[Ars Magna]

I'm guessing sometime in March. I don't have everything I need from Oystein yet and he's gone silent for some time. He's had Cronian and Borknagar releases keeping him busy.

On a related note, we might be the US distributor for the vinyl version that is also due in March.

 

[Ars Magna]

Oystein and I have reconnected and some new details are emerging. The live video footage isn't going to work out. Instead, we've decided to do a brief video interview. We're going to take 10 Molested-related questions from people (randomly selected), he will read the persons name/location, the question, and then provide a response. So, if any of you would be interested in having a question submitted, PM me.

I'd also be interested in hearing what you guys think of this idea. Part of me really likes it but part of me isn't quite sold on it.

i want to know if they were candies what kind of candies would they be

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I can't think of any serious questions. Nothing but jokes come to mind. I think that's because I couldn't care less about an interview. I just want the music.

 

[J.]

i'd rather have any bonus tracks or demos, maybe old live tracks.

Yes, if they're on a seperate disc. I hate when these kinds of things are tacked onto the original album.

 

[Ars Magna]

The plan is to have the album (Blod-draum) be the first CD. The 2nd CD will be the Stormvold ep plus the demos and this interview thing if we go through with it.

 

[MFJ]

if the interview goes through...

"Do you feel that the "Blod Draum" and "Stormvold" releases have had a significant influence on the Borknagar s/t?" (or something like that, it can be reworded)

I notice some very similar themes when comparing Molested with early Borknagar, so I'd like to hear what he has to say about that.
