Tarja Turunen - New Musical Group
The singer has announced her participation in a new project named Harus.
Here is the official statement from her official website:
"There is an old Finnish tradition when it comes to newborns - the baby is not to be named until the baptism ceremony, when he or she is presented to the family with the chosen name.
A few years ago, in 2006, a new project from Tarja was born and, following the same tradition, the time has come to baptize it, to make the presentations to the family and to give it a name - Harus.

Wolvhammer - Complete New Album
Official press release
American blackened crust/sludge scumbag metal band Wolvhammer, have completed work on their follow-up to last year's Black Marketeers Of WWIII debut, entitled The Obsidian Plains.
[center][/center]
With already a decent pedigree within the U.S. underground black metal scene that involves such likeminded heathens as Nachtmystium, Cobalt, Ludicra (RIP), Withered etc. Wolvhammer are set to elevate their pillaging to a whole new level with The Obsidian Plains.
Known for combining such genres as black metal (of the Darkthrone, Craft, old Celtic Frost/Hellhammer vibe), punk, crust, doom and epic blackened-like sludge, with The Obsidian Plains (which was produced and recorded by Sanford Parker) Wolvhammer are going to make an impact with the subtlety of a vicious sledgehammer blow to the head. An album much more epic, crushing, and overall more encompassing than their debut. With several shifts in the band's line-up since their inception, the band look to make even more of a statement with their latest solidified lineup, which now includes ex-Nachtmystium guitarist Jeff Wilson.
