MARNOST is a metal project of members of GATTACA and REMEK. On this record they have a remixed and longer version of their song “Die Hamletmaschine” that was recorded in relation to release of a short dance movie “Hamletophelia” that is accompanied by MARNOST’s songs. The record will be released in a big cooperation of labels from Europe and USA.
In other news, MARNOST are readying another double release, this time sharing their tunes with Slovenia’s heavy doom / sludge monster LEECHFEAST (featuring members of PAPERPLANECRASH and LANDVERRAAD).
