YOUR FIRST TASTE OF BRAND NEW IHSAHN AND BRAND NEW RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER!

Good morning! Axl’s on vacation through the end of the week, meaning it’s just you and your creepy Uncle Vince alone in the Mansion for the duration. Don’t tell mommy about the special secret private fun times we have together, ok? I hear Anso DF, Justin M. Norton and Shanbomb are going to be dropping by, too, so definitely don’t tell them. I’ll be gentile; promise.

What better way to kick off the Vince party than a brand new track from Ihsahn? “The Paranoid” comes from Ihsahn’s forthcoming masterpiece Eremita and appears today courtesy of Candlelight Records, who have released a completely free 8-song sampler through Amazon. The sampler also includes tracks from Falloch, The Rotted, Wodensthrone, Sear Bliss, Woe, Winterfylleth and a previously unreleased, unmastered version of a brand new track by the best Crüe-loving party thrashers of all time, Rumpelstiltskin Grinder. That’s eight tracks for the price of NONE. Download them right here!

Ihsahn will release Ermita on June 18th, while Rumpelstiltskin Grinder are thus far mum on a release date for a new album will release their new album on June 19th (thanks, MS commenter “Rumpelgrinded”). Ihsahn revealed a lot of juicy details about Eremita when our own Dave Mustein interviewed him last month, so make sure you give that a read.
