One of the secret Danish music legends has passed away

 Morten Munch died with his daughter by his side last Sunday morning in Copenhagen. Morten was in a very bad condition due to many years of Alzheimer's, which struck him at a very early age.

 

 

 

 

 

He had some amazing peaks in his career, reaching the stars with silver and gold records, topping the album charts and even a grammy. Morten was part of the Danish metal band Skagarack from 1986 to 1991 on Bass. Skagarack was successful in Denmark, Germany and UK

 

From the end of the 80s to 2015 Morten became a producer and sound engineer for well-known bands and performers in the industry.
Worked on 2 albums with Michael Learns To Rock: Colours and Nothing To Lose
and on releases with: Kick The Kangaroo, Hopscotch, Cut N´ Move, Den Gale Pose, Sticks N´ Fire, Emotions, Bonnie Tyler, Pretty Maids, Østkyst Hustlers, Anders Mattesen (Terkel I Knibe), Marie Key band, Ivan Petersen, Sweethearts, Lars H.U.G & Dr Baker

And probably the best selling Christmas record in Denmark “The Julekalender” with “De Nattergale” from 1991.
Morten had the best of both worlds, he was a gifted musician and a really skilled sound engineer, 

 Morten's funeral has taken place.

VOLBEAT's MICHAEL POULSEN Launches New Death Metal Band ASINHELL

Volbeat's frontman, Michael Poulsen, is no stranger to the world of death metal. In the '90s, Poulsen played in the band Dominus and has always been vocal about his love for the genre. Now, Poulsen is diving back into death metal with his new band, Asinhell. Their first single, "Fall Of The Loyal Warrior," pays tribute to the bands that have influenced Poulsen, such as Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, and Darkthrone.

"We're very excited to share the first taste of Asinhell with 'Fall of the Loyal Warrior,'" says Poulsen. "The song is kind of a tribute to bands I love... They're the reason why we can do this in the first place, and we're proud to wear our influences on our sleeve."

Asinhell, consisting of Poulsen on guitar, Marc Grewe on vocals (formerly of Morgoth and Insidious Disease), and Toft Hansen on drums (from Raunchy), will release their debut album, Impii Hora, on September 29. The album draws inspiration from the old-school death metal of the late '80s and early '90s, with a particular focus on the legendary band Death, fronted by Chuck Schuldiner.

Metal Blade Records will be releasing Asinhell's album, and Poulsen couldn't be more thrilled about it. "It's such a dream come true for me

Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj remade Danish Aqua’s iconic Barbie anthem

Back in 1997, the Danish pop group Aqua inexplicably dropped the infectious earworm “Barbie Girl”, a tune that dominated charts worldwide and has remained ingrained in our memories ever since. 

It’s been spoofed and covered so often it’s practically a cultural institution – an internet meme before memes even existed. Greta Gerwig’s forthcoming film “Barbie” would feel somewhat incomplete without a nod to this classic track, so thank goodness rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice have released “Barbie World”. The song samples “Barbie Girl” and the accompanying music video has a familiar Europop feel, reminiscent of Aqua’s original video that channelled the Barbie dollhouse aesthetic. 

This all represents something of a u-turn for Mattel, the company who owns Barbie, who initially sued MCA Records (Aqua’s label) for “Barb
ie Girl”, claiming the sexually suggestive lyrics were damaging to the Barbie brand. After years of litigation, the case was eventually thrown out when a federal appeals court declared that “Barbie Girl” was protected under parody legislation. 

Following this, Mattel have now embraced the track, even using a remixed version for a 2009 ad campaign and again for the upcoming movie tied to their beloved brand. Now, two of the biggest names in hip-hop are helping to further promote Barbie. It’s all a bit surreal, but that’s just how times have changed.

ROB CAGGIANO Comments On Leaving VOLBEAT

"Sometimes relationships simply run their course."

Volbeat parted ways with guitarist Rob Caggiano after 10 years earlier this month. Caggiano has finally posted a statement of his own regarding the split, saying that sometimes relationships simply run their course and that "certain obstacles, people or circumstances get in the way of the greater good" – whatever that refers to.

"Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is a bit overdue but now that I've had ample time to process everything going on around me, I have a few things I'd like to say publicly…

"First off, I want to say thank you to everyone out there for all the amazing messages and support I've gotten over the last few days. It's been very powerful and humbling for me to say the least. It's reassurance that I'm on the right path and it means so much to me right now.

"To all the amazing fans and friends I've met all over the world throughout the years… I love and cherish each and every one of you. Thank you for sticking with me through hell or high water. The world seems to be getting weirder and weirder with each passing day and life never stops throwing twists and turns at us but you guys always keep me driven, focused and inspired to create music, follow my heart at all costs and chase my dreams wherever they may take me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

"I also want to wish Michael, Jon, Kaspar, (Anders too) and the entire Volbeat camp the best of luck moving forward. I'm extremely proud of everything we accomplished together over the last 10 years. Sometimes relationships simply run their course. Sometimes certain obstacles, people or circumstances get in the way of the greater good. Sometimes people change and priorities shift. Sometimes it's unavoidable. We had a very special undeniable magic together as a band. It's not something that comes around too often in this life and it's not som
