-- Hey, men! We're back!!! Buggrit all for a lark and the millennium shrimp, arses! The Troll is back, both online and from the trip. OK, we know we sucked for the last month, with me and Felix being on business trip and no real updates put to the site. So before we announce anything new I wanna express my deepest gratitude top all those who stayed here and continued working. This would go mainly to our lovely President Rag Doll, who did her best to manage the site while I was away and kept the people under this project alert for the needed while. I also want to thank Roman the Maniac for taking upon a whole bunch of reviews as well as a mouthful of other materials such as interviews, gig-reports and all the other, and last but not least - many thanks to Lynx, our industrious translator who burnt the candle at both ends to get all of these into Russian. Thank you everyone once again!!! You rock!!!
-- Now, on with the updates: First goes the old portion of reviews, which were in fact written in May and so they go to the May section of the site: Black Beyonds Music Compilation, Catasexual Urge Motivation, Coph Nia, The Dismal, Hekate, Ice Ages, Penitent, Tormentor, Vagtazo Halottkemek, Alice Cooper, Arthemis, Crapathian Forest, Guano Apes, Penitent, Soilwork, and Severe Torture. And, before you ask yes, by the end of this month we will put together a bunch of new reivews, that will comprise the month of June. Currently there're some 15 new ones, imho, and they are only awaiting translation.
-- As to the rest of the new things, which have been on site for quite a while, but have not been announced by us yet. Firstly, go the two interviews with Michael Harris, the infamous guitar genius, and Germany's Evereve.

22/05/01
-- Oh, boy, do you remember the last time we updated the interview section of this site? Uhuh, we neither. But there is a good time for everything, and what time can be better than the day we get a chance to interview Mr. Nergal himself - the incarnation of the Eastern European wing of black metal. Click here to see the leader of Behemoth speak exclusively to MetalKings.ru on the band's latest album, Moscow tour, and general developments on the scene itself.

02/02/01
-- OK, on with the news. Once again, no new reviews will be posted to the English version of TTI until we close the month in Russian, which is deadlined for February 10th. So eepect some new English stuff after that.

-- Right on, how was the holidays, folks? Still sobering up? Well, we are, as you might have noticed, he-he... ;) Anyhows, the new updates, as of the reviews and other text shite, will be posted beginning of next week, hopefully. The delay is mainly due to the fact, that we want to complete the translation of the previous month's reviews into Russian first and then close the month. Anyhows some of the new reviews have been completed already and those of you who have signed up for our newsletter at the mainpage, will most probably see them on the weekend. ;) (Subscribe you arseholes, subscribe! :)))
