New supergroup announced

I was trying to think of something clever to write today to link metal to the fact that it's now the first day of August. I was thinking about how its been a cold shitty ass summer- which made me think of the band 30 Below Summer. But they suck. Then I was thinking- well, it's August... so I thought of August Burns Red. They also suck.

So without having any connection to something about 'today', I'll mention a new super group- http://www.myspace.com/maniaclilesczralofficial. It's Maniac (MAYHEM, SKITLIV, SEHNUCHT) with Andrew Liles (CURRENT 93, SEHNSUCHT) and Czral (AURA NOIR,) to release an album that he and Czral began working back in 96. The EP is set to be called "Det Skjedde Noe Når Du Var I Belgia", which means: Something Happened While You Were In Belgium. No idea what that something was, but maybe it has to do with eating chocolate and waffles?

Maniac posted about this on his myspace: "It wasn't something we expected to do at all. Czral and I had recorded the original material all those years ago but other commitments had meant that we were never able to get round to finishing it off and releasing it, and I'd brought it with me to the U.K. for my manager to listen to just out of interest, but it was a DAT tape and she didn't have the right equipment for it. I was also visiting Andrew Liles who was mastering the new SKITLIV album, and preparing to master the new SEHNSUCHT album, so we converted the tape in his studio. Andrew's enthusiasm for what he heard got the better of him, and we started working on it straight away. By the end of the day we'd knocked it into shape, expanded it, and were ready to go with it, and Dirter immediately expressed an interest. It all happened very fast and the album was on the way to the printing plant within days, so we had to come up with a name for the band, and the only one we could think of was MANIAC/LILES/CZRAL. Perhaps not the most original name, but that's who we are after all. As to what kind of music it is, well, I think 'quirky' and 'eclectic' just about sums it up."

You can here the song over at the bands myspace page. Its very fucking odd.
