Posted in Music, Records/merch on January 30, 2012 by usurpressPlague Island has confirmed that the Usurpress/Pyramido 7″ is at the pressing plant now. Expect a release in Feb. The EP contains the following songs:
Usurpress:
Trenches of the Netherworld
The Conqueror
Pyramido:
Serenity
There is also a limited edition, 100 ex, available, this one is a 2-EP where (on the bonus-disc) Pyramido do “Fed Up” by Judge and we blast through “Bastard” by Misery and “Mania for Conquest” by Discharge as one song, entiteled “Misery for Conquest”. I also believe that the limited edition version is on green vinyl. Really stoked on this release as I consider both our songs as being two of the best we have ever written.
At the same time, Plague Island will also release a 3-song 7″ entitled Sadomasochrist by Gothenburg blackthrashers Styggelse.
Usurpress/Barbarian Eurotour 2012
Posted in Gigs, Updates on January 27, 2012 by usurpressJust a few words about our European tour. We will do the tour together with 1985-worshipping Italians Barbarian, a truly great new band. The tour will start on June 28:th and end on July 14:th and it will take us through Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Czech, Germany, Holland and Bergium. Once the dates are finalized we will of course publish them here.

New shirt, new gig and so forth
Posted in Gigs, Records/merch, Updates on January 18, 2012 by usurpressWe have a new cool shirt (see Web Shop-section) for sale, we only have around 20 of ‘em so hurry up if you want it.
We are also confirmed to play at GH Nation’s Club Dist here in Uppsala on Sat 25:th of Feb, the other bands are Dr. Living Dead and Anal Karaktär, which is Einar from Undergång playing accoustic blues and country). Both interesting acts in their own way.
Almost everything is ready for the Usurpress/Pyramido 7″ and hopefully it will be out in Feb, but who knows?
Danne has moved back to Sweden which means that he will take a more active role in the band than before, and that is of course great! We are writing and rehearsing for the album right now, some of the new song titles are “In the Beginning (Ended Yesterday)”, ”Silence of the Apocalypse”, “Black Death on White Wings”, ”The God Eaters”, etc.
See these guys with us in Uppsala.

In Permanent Twilight CD
Posted in Records/merch on December 6, 2011 by usurpressDue to the fact that we have released so many records in such a short time, we have decided to postpone the release of In Permanent Twilight on CD. It will be released in May instead of Jan. Go get the vinyl version!
