Nasum Added to Maryland Deathfest 2012 Line-up

The latest addition to the already stupidly awesome line-up of next years Maryland Deathfest(including Napalm Death, Needful Things, Brujeria, Nausea, Backslider and Nashgul among maaaaany others), is the recently "reunited" Nasum! Wish come true right? I totally/sorta called this in my last Nasum post. The band, who will be fronted by Rotten Sound's Keijo Niinimaa, has been added to Fridays line-up. Tickets are on sale now, which can be purchased here.

Nasum to Reform in 2012...Kinda

Breaking fucking news everybody! In a recent statement on their website, the remaining members of Nasum have confirmed that they will reform next year with Keijo Niinimaa of Rotten Sound to man the vocal duties that would belong to the late Mieszko Talarczyk, who tragically passed away in the 2004 tsunami, thus ending Nasum. Very exciting news, but the band has made it very clear that this is not a full-fledged resurrection of Nasum; they will only be doing a handful of shows around the world(no dates yet confirmed), there will be no new album, and after this short run is over, they will disband again for good.

Admittedly, I'm not a very huge fan of Nasum. Maybe it's cause the only album I own from them is "Human 2.0", which I've heard people say isn't their best, but I would totally love the chance to see Nasum live. True, it probably won't have the same impact as seeing them with Mieszko fronting the band, but I imagine these shows being as more of celebration of his talents and the impact he Nasum had on grindcore worldwide. Here's hoping they play MDF 2012! Leave your opinions in the comment section.
