Read a short but sweet interview with VAKA in the newest issue (#108) of Sweden/Scandinavia's leading rock/hardrock/metal publication Close-Up Magazine.



PS. Pick up the new Zu album "Carboniferous", it's a slice of awesome. DS

(Or well, yesterday)

That's right kids, "Kappa Delta Phi" is now (or atleast, should be) available worldwide, however I admit that scoring a copy if you're in the jungle of the Congo might be tricky.
For this I highly recommend you order a copy straight from Vaka HQ for an outlandishly low price of $14 including shipping worldwide.

But that's not all. For all you ultra-hip kids out there, "Kappa Delta Phi" is now also available for purchase and direct download via basically all major retailers such as iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, etc.

So make haste and go shop! Daddy needs a new pair of pants (I really do actually)!

A great review of "Kappa Delta Phi" (9/10) has been posted over @ DisAgreement Online.
http://www.disagreement.net/reviews/vaka_kappadeltaphi.html

"There is only so much you can do nowadays to add new impulses to post metal, but Karl Daniel Lidén, who has been playing in various Swedish bands since the mid-Nineties, may just be the man to revitalise the genre."

"They take a genre which lately has been trod to death and invigorate it with new ideas from times past."

That's right peeps, today is the official street date of "Kappa Delta Phi", so swing by your favorite cool record store (note that the store does not count as "cool" if they haven't got KDP in stock - this is important) and pick up a copy!
The music's swingin' and the 6 panel digipak is also swingin' - it's all good, baby.

Please note that the album is still available directly from Vaka headquarters for $14 USD including shipping worldwide.

If you want to buy "Kappa Delta Phi" and are dead set on purchasing via a retailer, then this is for you.
Vaka & All That Is Heavy (aka the StonerRock.com store) teams up and makes the Vaka debut album "Kappa Delta Phi" available for purchase & immediate delivery 6 weeks ahead of the official US release date.

All That Is Heavy is a really great online retailer with tons of great music in stock, so browse their inventory and purchase a few records whydontcha - it's almost christmas and I'm sure you've been a good boy/girl, so go spoil yourself.

Or well, not really, the official Swedish street date was this past friday - the 21st,
but exclaiming "today!" just got a little more "zing" to it.

The album is available at all major online retailers, such as:
- CDON.com
- Ginza.se
- Megastore.se
- SoundPollution.se (and, of course, at their physical boutique in Stockholm as well).

...so take your pick!

Distribution in Sweden is handled by Sound Pollution Distribution.

YES. IT IS HERE. FINALLY.
The VAKA debut album - "Kappa Delta Phi" is now up for sale and immediate delivery.
The album is presented in a 6-panel digipak, and honestly, it looks fucking spectacular.

The album features 10 tracks of aural bliss and a schmoergasbord of guest performances
from folks in bands such as DOZER, LOWRIDER / I ARE DROID, A SWARM OF THE SUN,
COME SLEEP, GHOST BRIGADE / SUNRIDE, PAATOS / MORTE MACABRE / LANDBERK, etc.

The official street date isn't until January 12th/13th 2009, but you can snag a copy
for yourself right now. Isn't that just swell?!
The price is a measily $14 USD and that includes shipping worldwide.

You can order either right here on MySpace or the vakamusic.net store.
