Russian metallers ARKONA have issued the following update:
"On Wednesday, December 31st, Vladislav Sokolov, the drummer of Arkona and ROSSOMAHAAR was overrun by a car. Despite the high speed of the car and the power of impact, the life of the musician is safe and he is already at home.As medics said, "He was born with the silver spoon in his mouth".
The band will play all concerts as scheduled.
Napalm Records recently issued the following update:
"Arkona have begun recording their fifth album. Frontwoman Masha promises that Goi, Rode, Goi! will follow in the footsteps of the previous works, and that 12 tracks of finest pagan metal will be recorded for their upcoming album.
However, not everything will remain exactly the same, as the band prepares to work this time with an orchestra and choir in order to give the songs more power and depth.
Furthermore, Goi, Rode, Goi! will include a 15-min. song, featuring the vocal talents of well-known pagan bands such as MANEGARM, HEIDEVOLK and many more. Kris Verwimp will again be responsible for the visual realization of the record.
A release is tentatively scheduled for spring 2009."
