In 2011 we released 8 records and we are crazy proud of each and every one of 'em. We got more releases planned so keep an eye out for us in 2012. Here is an overview of what we did this year plus previews of things to come. Half of the songs are taken from the official releases, the other half is unreleased material. We even threw in a few tracks by some good friends of ours that haven't even got decent Black Death releases out (yet) but fuck that. About 80% of this compilation is recorded at Studio 195 so y'all know this sounds great. Dig in:

The past couple of months we have released two 12" records that go straight into the top 5 of best Black Death releases so far. The Light Brigade's "The History Of Light" and All Star Galaxy's "Forever Endeavour" contain a shitload of indie rock hits for everyone who likes artists such as Big Star, Guided By Voices, Love, Byrds, Beatles, Replacements, Johnny Cash, Hüsker Dü or Mitch. In fact, 90% of both new records are performed by ex-members of this last-mentioned band whose swang song "Razzle Dazzle" was released in the year 2000 and definitely stood the test of time. You can download it right here, and if you like it (of which I'm sure) you can still get it from our webshop, and of course we highly recommend the new efforts. Great stuff:

With the Black Flag tribute 7" almost out (test presses have been approved and passed around) here's one of the songs for free already, and more. "Songs From A Parallel Universe" is a digital release by Walker Diver available from his website, and as of now also from this place right here. Stefan 't Hooft performed and recorded 10 cover songs all by himself over the course of last year. Like I said, "Nervous Breakdown" is on it, as well as superb renditions of songs from The Replacements, Wire and Kraftwerk to name a few. This is a great cover album, and you should definitely take the time to listen to it:
