Blood Tsunami working on third album

There are a few ways you might know Bård Eithun.  For one thing, he's better known as "Faust".   He also played drums in Emperor.  Still don't know him?  Well, he's also that Norwegian guy who stabbed a man to death in a forest, which of course was labeled as another black metal killing.  [Sidenote:  The murder had nothing to do with black metal, satanism, fascism.... any of that].

Anyway, he's been free since 2003 after serving 9 years in prison, and has been working with the band Blood Tsunami, who are definitely more thrash than black metal.  Bard's released the following statement via Facebook about their upcoming third album:

  Well, it seems we actually managed to get down a proper mix for the third Blood Tsunami-album this weekend. After having spent some 20 hours with Peter Michael Kolstad Vegem and Sverre Dælhi it looks like we landed on a mix that does the material justice. The drums were recorded during two days in July and the plan was to finish everything by early September to see a 2012 release but due to Pete having to undergo throat surgery everything was postponed. Anyhow, problems aside, please see the album released sometime during the new year via a significant metal-label. Now time to chill with some Vangelis before hitting the bed. Alllright! Thrash!

Blood Tsunami's last album "Grand Feast For Vultures" was released in 2009.
