Mystic Signs Djerv

Norwegian band Djerv has signed a deal with Mystic Production who will release their debut album. Spawn out of Trelldom, Animal Alpha and Stonegard they pull strings from their previous bands, but Djerv is still something new. It sounds different. It’s aggressive rock, borderline metal and dangerously catchy. Yet wrapped in a blackmetal veil. Genres melt together as never before these days, and so seems to be the case with…

A Conversation With Patrick Rothfuss

It was a little over a year ago when I first picked up a copy of Pat’s book, ‘Name of the Wind,’ the first book of his fantasy trilogy. At first, I was reluctant to give a new author a chance. I had been a long time fan of a number of writers, and had a pile of their works collecting dust on shelves, or hidden in bins. A new…
