Bomberna faller (Bombs are falling) is a new Swedish podcast from the dirty south which we stumbled across last night. They played one of our songs in the first program. Check it out HERE.
It’s been a long time coming for a release that not even was planned to be released in the first place. But now it’s here, and what a f-cking great job Svart Records has done! We couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. Kiitos Tomi + Svart crew.
This is a one-time pressing of 1000 copies and it comes with a gigantic poster and a 6 page insert (with all the ‘the story behind’ stories).
160sek + postage (up to 2 vinyls for the same postage).
Mail your orders at: pndftw@gmail.com For wholesales and distribution, get in touch with Svart Records.
We would like to take this opportunity to give a few well deserved shout-outs: Kenko/Communichaos Media Clay Station for the skull cracking sound and always delivered the covers in time every single month! Masken/Sub Alert (for the concept/idea!), Mike Daughtrey (for the amazing front cover photo), Veera Uutinen (live photos), Pontus Lindroth (band photo), Motokazu and Andrew Morgan. Last but certainly not least all the guests and everyone else who contributed something to this ‘Cover Of The Month’ project. It was a fun, very time consuming and inspiring year.

Can’t wait to hit the roads again. See you in the pit you punks!
Sorry to say but we sold all the shirts except one in size XXL at the gig this saturday.
Update: SOLD!
We will most likely print some more shirts with this design in the future.
Many thanks to Ronny/Dead Rhythm, Asocial, Avskum, Mob 47 and T.S.T for an unforgettable evening! The biggest thank you to all who came. One month until we hit the roads again. No rest for the wicked.
Still can not quite grasp that this gig is for real. See you on Saturday! Find info on the event here. Flyer by Sugi.
We got this Canadian fanzine called 
This cassette version has only been exclusively sold at gigs and given away to people involved in the project. Until now. 5 copies up for sale. You snooze, you lose!!!
UPDATE: All gone!
AJATUKSEN VALO is a Finnish fanzine focusing heavily on many faces of hardcore punk, death and destruction. Thick issues, heavy walls of text, long interviews, your scene favorites, bands you’ve never heard of, hellish photos and definitely way too serious take on things that matter the most. 16 issues with some signs of progress, a similar batch of “mini-issues” with a “½” on their names and no real way to stop this monster. Contact: piparnakkeli.kamakarhu AT gmail.com.
Ps. As opposed to what you may think because of this introduction, the editors of Ajatuksen Valo and PML are in very good terms. Don’t always take everything so seriously.
“When I first approached Jocke about making an interview with 偏執症者Paranoid I had no idea that the band would become one of the most prominent hardcore bands of the day. In fact, I had no idea that Ville of PML zine was also making an interview with 偏執症者Paranoid, so I decided to postpone mine. Fuck you, Ville!
Now that this ”I was here first” issue is settled, we could get into the point. 偏執症者Paranoid is a fucking great hardcore band, which is influenced by many faces of raw music, but is able to make it sound like it’s something of their own. It’s undeniable fact that this band has aroused a lot of interest”.
The entire zine is in Finnish, but the editorial staff have allowed us to publish it in English. Kiitos kuin helvetti Jouni/Ajatuksen Valo. You can read the interview by clicking here: Ajatuksen Valo #16 (February 2016).
