All things need to come to an end, that’s the way of the nature and the philosophy V:28 have been working with during it’s existence. Ending the band was a hard decision, but at the same time it felt very right, as I’ve never wanted anything but the best for V:28. You need to know yourself and your limitations to make a decision like that at the right time, and I know, even though I had mixed feelings about calling it quits, that the timing was right. The concept had come to an end, and artistically speaking, the “VioLution” album was the very peak of what we’re capable of, and the way I see it, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better conclusion of the trilogy. Being a part of V:28 has been a demanding, yet very rewarding experience, and looking back at the tour, concerts, recording sessions, releases, the networks we’ve built and not to mention the great feedback from friends, fans and press, I can honestly say that it’s been the best years of my life. V:28 will always be very important and special to me. I want to thank all of you how have been involved in the band in one or another way and everyone who have been paying attention to our work over the years, and in special I want to thank Eddie, Atle, LRZ, Joseph at Vendlus Records and Roger Karmanik at Cold Meat Industry for taking part in the journey to the end of the World. The circle is complete!

Vendlus extinguishes a phase with the demise of V:28 . We are thankful that we could be part of their journey and that their dedication and trust in us help to seal a foundation that we never would of had without them.

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 at the Avenue Of Eternal Peace in Bejing, China. Imagine that you were that unknown man in front of the advancing tanks. Imagine that the tanks did not stop, but simply chose to ignore you. That probable feeling of being run over by a tank or four, that’s the feeling of being run over by V:28.

All things need to come to an end, and for a band based upon that theory, what could be more natural than the band coming to an end itself? After three albums, which constituted the Total DeConstruction trilogy, and a remix album, V:28 decided to call it quits in 2008, ending it with the World Wide Bombing Tour. As a final nail in the coffin, V:28 will be publishing a series of live audio, video and pictures from that tour. The audio will be available for free download and streaming and the videos will be streaming only. All pictures will be available at the MySpace website. This serves as a documentation and retrospect on the tour and as well as a treat for the fans, especially those missing out on our shows due to geographical distances. Make sure to check out www.v28.com or www.myspace.com/v28band on April 28th 2009.

We've posted a few pictures from the European Bombing Tour in the pictures section. More to come soon.... If you have some pictures or footage from one of our shows, please get in touch.

You can also check out a clip, with heavy distorted sound, from our show at Negasonic in Aalst, Belgium here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P99b1HkBBvU 

The end is nigh!

So, we're back after the European Bombing Tour and we had a blast! A big thank you goes to to all the loyal and new fans that showed up at our gigs, the promotors and organizers that helped us making this tour happen, the venues, the French police officer and not to mention the free alcohol!

Thank you!

We've just posted a track from the new album "Total Reconstruction" on our profile. The track is a cover track by the legendary band Swans, performed by V:28 and Coph Nia (SWE). Something quite different from the "normal" sound of any of the participating bands, but still we feel we maintain our trademarks as well as the red line through the song. The collaboration was very fruitful, and it's always a great experience to work with artists that are open minded and like to try out different things.

Personally, Swans has meant a lot to me over the years, and they keep coming back to me, over and over again... Check out "The Great Annihilator" and "Soundtracks For The Blind" (from which "All Lined Up" is taken from), open a bottle og red wine or your Lagavulin whisky, sit back and experience something you've never heard before - pure magic! What an amazing band!

So, I felt it was natural to pay some sort of tribute to the band, and even though it's quite a challenge to do something like that with a band I respect so much, I think we succeeded. Anyway, here's the result. Enjoy!
