As if I need a reason to go
to NYC in May...

"WINTER reunite for gig!
Fans of Death/Doom-metal
rejoice! Legendary band
WINTER is to reunite for a
gig together with none
other than EVOKEN and
SPIRIT CARAVAN! The
show will take place in
Brooklyn, New York on
May 3rd. No further details
are available at present, but
let's hope WINTER will
reunite for more than just
one gig!"

Some trivia... Intrinsic Action
were originally going to be
label-mates of sorts with Winter.
The "Sado-Electronics" CD was
originally due to be released on
a division of Future Shock, the
label that first put out the
Winter CD "Into Darkness." The
guy who ran the label not only
ripped off Winter, but he disappeared
owing money on licensed U.S.
releases by Godflesh, Bolt Thrower,
and I think Hellbastard. He operated
under the Silent Scream label for
some of these releases. Luckily, we
did not lose any money on the deal,
but it held up the release for about
a year. It would have been interesting
to see "Sado-Electronics" as a jewel
box compact disc, and on cassette,
in 1991.
In any case, the recent digi-pak
re-release of "Into Darkness," with the
bonus tracks from the "Eternal Frost"
CD-single [-thank you Jonathan!], has
sat nicely in a steady diet of Discharge,
Rudimentary Peni, Flux of Pink Indians,
CRASS, and Amebix.
