ANNIHILATOR Bassist Reports On 34,000 TON METAL CRUISE
October 10, 2006ANNIHILATOR/DUSKMACHINE bassist Russ Bergquist — who was in ANNIHILATOR between 1999 and 2003, and who rejoined the group for its recent European dates — has posted the following message on his official web site:
"I have been shopping my solo material to various companies and have been getting some nice interest. Unfortunately, I don't have enough songs right now to release a full-length album so I will not release anything until I can do a full-length . However, I have been posting some of these songs on my MySpace site along with some other stuff that I have done. I am currently writing more material that is similar to what I have already done and hope to start recording it in the next few months. I could release it independently as an EP but I feel it will be better to release something that is full length. My apologies to those who have been waiting.
"Sweden rocks! Well, Sweden and Finland anyway. ANNIHILATOR just played the Sweden Rock 34,000 Ton Metal Cruise on October 7 (at 1:30 in the morning). What a riot! I had never experienced anything like this before. Imagine, a few thousand Scandinavian metalheads with unlimited access to cheap beer / alcohol and then have party on a cruise ship for 24 hours as it goes from Sweden to Finland and back. Through in a few metal bands and you have a pretty damn good party! The night we played were also bands MORGANA LEFAY and THE HAUNTED (never got to see MORGANA but THE HAUNTED were really wicked). Sweden Rock and Silja Festival put on a very memorable event and if any of you ever get the chance to go on one of these cruises, do it!"
