SOILWORK support campaign “Music Improves Brain Health”


The positive impact of music to people’s health and wellbeing has no doubt. Listening to music and playing it makes your brain stronger. The campaign “Music Improves Brain Health” from Alzheimer Association of Kanta-Hame takes place for the sixth time this year – supported by the Swedish modern metal heroes of SOILWORK!

Drummer Bastian Thusgaard states:

I believe that most people, whether they are aware of it to not, use music to channel their feelings and cope with both the good and bad in life. I truly believe that music is great for our mental health and I’d say we all need music in our lives in order to function.”

LACUNA COIL Announce HORNS UP! The Official Tabletop Game


HORNS UP! is a tabletop (or better yet, concert floor!) party game in pure rock style. Members of the world famous Italian band are known for being avid gamers, but HORNS UP! marks their first foray in the Gaming Industry itself.

CONAN states:
“‘Battle In The Swamp’ is one of our earliest songs, appearing on the first demo tape we recorded back in 2007. It is simple and to the point, and always starts a pit. Enjoy.”
