One of Iceland’s most credible metal bands, Minus (signed to One Little Indian in the UK), are releasing their long-awaited Great Northern Whalekill album on these shores soon and they’ve given Icelandic music mag Monitor a track for us all to enjoy before it appears as the B-side to their first UK single.

The song is an acoustic version of ‘Throwaway Angel’ and you can listen to it here or here

The lyric ‘exector of God’s wrath – sit next to me’ scares me a little but I know they’re into deep subjects as whaling, religion and Pantera, thus these interests are reflected in the nature of their excellent recordings.

You can read what The Reykjavik Grapevine thought of the album here.

I hear the band are also touring the UK soon…details to follow as soon as I have them.
