Bývalý frontman MAYHEM rozjíždí po SKITLIV další projekt - NOVA EXPESS. Potká se v něm se svou snoubenkou Vivian Slaughter (GALLHAMMER) a kolegou ze SKITLIV, Ingvarem Magnussonem. Kapela již podepsala kontrakt s Cold Spring Records. Stylové zaměření by mělo být: noise/darkwave/ambient
Komentář Maniacova manažera: "Whilst preparing some tracks for the forthcoming SKITLIV album, he and Ingvar came up with an 11-minute track called 'Immaculate Fix' that didn't really fit in with SKITLIV's musical style. Maniac has been concentrating not just on music, but also on his writing recently, and when we heard the track we realized just how much of an influence his literary work had had on the way the music and lyrics interacted, and that what was needed was a separate vehicle that would better suit this different style of writing and delivery. Where SKITLIV is very much Maniac's unpredictable offspring, the band is all about extremes and expecting the unexpected, NOVA EXPRESS, on the other hand, is its more thoughtful, introspective, sibling.
"I'm sure the lineup of the band will have surprised some people, but it's not really that surprising.
"Maniac and Ingvar have been writing and playing together for a few years now, and the two get on very well both on a personal, as well a musical level.
"Vivian and Maniac met for the first time when SKITLIV toured with GALLHAMMER about a year ago and recently became engaged. They both share the same eclectic tastes in music, and Vivian is very much into the style of music that NOVA EXPRESS will be playing, so she will shortly be recording her parts for the album in Japan."
Regarding the decision to work with Cold Spring Records, his manager went on to say: "We spoke to Justin Mitchell of Cold Spring about the track and the concept and he immediately offered the band a contract. Cold Spring recently released SKITLIV's 'Amfetamin' live album, but SKITLIV itself is not actually signed to the label. 'Amfetamin' is as two-part project that, as longtime friends, we all thought would be a fun thing to do, and has proved to be very popular. NOVA EXPRESS fits in with Cold Spring's catalogue, and it's a label that everyone involved in the band very much admires, both in terms of output and ethos, so it was a logical choice.
"We have booked the studio for late autumn to record the NOVA EXPRESS album, which has a working title of 'Narrow Birth', and we will also be putting the finishing touches to SKITLIV's 'Glem Aldri Korset'. Following the release of that album, SKITLIV will start touring. We have no immediate plans to take NOVA EXPRESS on the road, but given that Maniac very much enjoys playing live, I would suspect that you will be seeing the band perform live sooner or later."

MOHLO BY VÁS ZAJÍMAT
WITHIN THE RUINS - Phenomena II
Progresivní metalcore, který nese všechna stylová klišé, ale rozhodně mu nechybí švih a tempo. A vlastně je to i pestré, od death razance přes deathcore až po djent a melodické vyhrávky. Výsledek je sice takové načančané nic, ale za poslech stojí.

AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR - Megafauna
Irové pokračují ve své vizi neotřele pojatého a math rockem ušpiněného post rocku, jako by se stále snažili vyrovnat debutu, kterým se blýskli již v roce 2009. Opět chybí asi jen špetka, aby to bylo na potlesk.

NOVA CHARISMA - Metropolitan
Tento projekt táhne především charakteristický vokál Donovana Melero z HAIL THE SUN, což ve spojení se Sergio Medinou z ROYAL CODA znamená ono emotivně bolavé ukřičené post hardcore inferno, které odkazuje k domovským skupinám obou zmíněných hudebníků.

MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY - Vile Postmortem Irrumatio
Rakouská brutální parta si za tematickou oblast své tvorby vybrala sériové vrahy. Je tedy asi logické, že těžiště i jejich třetího alba je deathgrindový nářez. A je to slušná porce třeba pro příznivce belgických ABORTED.

REVOLTING - Night Of The Horrid
Klasický "Rogga" Johansson a jeho user-friendly death metal. Letos sice nemá oslnivou formu (viz slabší PAGANIZER), ale stále je to se ctí. Minulá deska byla lepší, ale i tady si skalní fanoušek najde to své. Hned po prvním poslechu vidíte všechny karty.

50M ZNAK - Nadechnout se
Trochu emařiny, trochu punkrocku a špetka indie melancholie. KOVADLINA řiznutá CARCIO RADIO. Ve výsledku celkem pozitivní vibe. Nová kapela se staronovými tvářemi a Banánem u mikrofonu. Hardcorovější MŇÁGA? Možná.

HIDDEN MOTHERS - Erosion / Avulsion
Tahle britská parta si prostě musí vybrat co chce. Koncept, ve kterém střídáte mělký emotivní rock a temnou post metalovou vlnu šilhající po blackaze v konečném důsledku působí jako zmatlaný dort od Pejska a Kočičky.
