It is very experimental and is pretty far away from the state the band is in these days.Well, it has been 13 years between this and forthcoming 'Pakana' album. We just wanted this to be released for FREE! All instruments were played by Lord Heikkinen. He also composed, recorded and mixed the album during one month he spent in the 'studio.'" Also available for download is the video for the song "Tearflower", which was used to promtoe the 2001 album "Elixir Mystica".

SOULGRIND recently announced the addition of former FINNTROLL singer Tapio Wilska as its new bassist. The band's eighth album, "Pakana", was recorded at D studio and is scheduled for an October/November release. "Pakana" is the follow-up to "The Origins of the Paganblood", which was issued in January 2005 via France's Holy Records.
