NOVEMBER 2009 NEWS:

VERKRAG CD TOO OFFENSIVE TO DUPLICATORS AND PRINTERS !!!

I got the following e-mail from my duplicators+printers today(26 November):


“Hi Anton

I have just received the CD’s.

I am afraid that I don’t think this material is suitable for the operation that I run and therefore won’t be able to produce it.

Please could you send me your banking details so that I can refund your deposit?

Sorry for the inconvenience.”


This means there might be a delay with the planned release date of December 13th. I will keep everyone updated.

The sample uploads of 'Asylum' & 'Little girls' will still be on 1st & 13th December.
Also don't forget to join the mailing list at http://www.reverbnation.com/verkrag to get access to fan exclusive tracks.

OCTOBER 2009 NEWS:

VERKRAG - 13 VICTIMS (DEBUT ALBUM) COMING SOON...

VERKRAG is busy recording, mixing and mastering material for the upcoming debut album entitled ‘13 VICTIMS’. The album will have a total of 9 tracks and will have a total playtime of about 45minutes. More details (track listing, release date, how to purchase etc.) coming in the next couple of weeks.

Rough demo sample tracks of ‘13 Victims’, ‘Incestuous’ and ‘The Cleansing of the Whore’ can be heard at: myspace.com/verkrag and on www.verkrag.com on the ‘Lyrics’ page. Also check out the ‘13 VICTIMS’ models’ photography on the ‘Victims’ page.

I have decided not to include ‘Doomsday Prophets’ on this album but to rather re-record it and add it to the next album in 2010. 4 demo songs have been completed for that album and the new material is much faster and more anti-religious. I want the theme of the ‘13 VICTIMS’ album to be psychosis and the serial killer mindset, thus ‘Doomsday Prophets’ simply will not fit in with the rest of the songs if it were on this album. - Anton
