KONKHRA Drummer Featured On Danish TV

November 11, 2008

Drummer Mads Lauridsen of Danish extreme metallers KONKHRA will be featured on the Denmark's TV show "God Aften Danmark" on TV2 in "a segment about (very) fast drumming," according to a posting on the band's MySpace page. "This will shed some light on the abilities required to be among the fastest drummers on the planet. Be sure to tune in, if possible. If you don't have access to the program, you'll have to wait a bit, and we will make the segment available through YouTube later."

KONKHRA will release its sixth album, "Nothing Is Sacred", on December 1 in Denmark and February 23 in the rest of the world via Target Distribution.

Comments guitarist/vocalist Anders Lundemark: "The new album addresses the lies of 9-11, the Western view of the Muslims as their prime enemy, the suffocating influence of religion, the collapse of society based on profit, war, violence and death… After all, we think it's a little rude to scream at people without having anything to say."

The CD features a guest appearance by James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) on lead guitar. Murphy is, however, not able to tour, so the band has joined forces with 20-year-old guitarist Michael Skovbakke, who delivers and interprets the leads from the entire KONKHRA career.

"Nothing Is Sacred" will be released in a limited edition including a bonus CD featuring the remastered demos "The Vicious Circle" and "Malgrowth" in addition to an extra booklet with the original artwork from the demos. When the demos were released on cassette in 1990 and 1991, respectively, they sold 2,000 copies each.
