Moonsorrow - Update From The Studio
As you might remember, back in September, Finnish metallers Moonsorrow started recording their new full-length album. Now, on the 23rd studio day, guitarist Mitja Harvilahti has issued what might be the weirdest studio update in the history of studio updates, talking about a Moonsorrow side project called, uhm, Penectomy. Have a look at this:
"Last week we drove some 100km to the woods. In the woods there was a cabin. In the cabin we recorded Ville´s lead vocals. The landscape was truely beautiful with the trees turning to yellow, red, brown etc. I´m currently writing this at the Sonic Pump studios where we are preparing the tracks to be mixed.
Henri, Ville and Markus are discussing about things that people put in their asses. Jelly jars, potatos, and fists etc.
Now they are searching for a band called Penectomy. If it does not exist, they will put up a project like that right away.
No there is not one.
So, Moonsorrow has a new official side project called Penectomy. Demo (tape? CD? MP3?) to be released next year."

Moonsorrow - Enter The Studio
Finnish metallers Moonsorrow have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"On Thor's day, September 2nd, Moonsorrow will finally enter the studio to record their next full length album! We have been working on the new material throughout the summer, and despite the extremely hot weather we've had in Finland, none of it is present in the atmosphere of the new songs. This stuff is cold, heavy and crushing. Lyrically we're dealing with life after the end of the world, so there is no light at the end of that tunnel either. The album will be recorded in various studios around Finland and it will be released in late February 2011. Check out the studiodiary for daily - or almost daily - updatings at http://moonsorrow2010.blogspot.com."
