‡‡ CONCRETE vs METAL ‡‡

Dear friends,

As you might have noticed, we've been all but busy on MySpace recently and we apologize for some unanswered messages and suchlike ...
The main reason for this is that we are actually building the home of the new TidalWave studio run by Patrick. This demands a lot of blood, sweat and beers but we want to make sure that we'll have a cozy home for our next recording session.
So with muscles forged from stones and concrete we shall prepare our next attack on metal!
Photos of the construction process will soon be posted (a big cheers to all the friends and bands that helped building the studio and emptying those nasty crates of beer in the fridge - hail to the re-filler btw!).

Cheers,
Phil / LGG

‡‡ TOUR DE FRANCE ‡‡

No, unfortunately no tour through France for us (yet?), but we would like to use this post to show our support to the Luxembourgish competitors in the Tour De France 2008.
And how good they're doing!!
Congratulations to Kim Kirchen for having conquered the "maillot jaune"! Don't give it away anymore! ;-)
And a loud "Ro'de Le'w huel se" to the Schleck Brothers!

To let you all partake in our festivities, we offer you a limited (until midnight) and free full-song download along with the lyrics of the song "Lucilinburhuc".
"Lucilinburhuc" is the old name of Luxembourg and as such an homage to our country.

‡‡ VINTAGE DISCOVERIES ‡‡

While dedusting LE GRAND GUIGNOL's stage properties, we stumbled upon long forgotten treasures:

VINDSVAL "The Great Maddening" -shirts!



Remember, before the name-change, LE GRAND GUIGNOL was called VINDSVAL. However the album-title stood the test of time.
Not many of those rarities are left, so grab yours HERE before the curtain falls once and for all.

To celebrate this vintage discovery, we decided to dig even deeper in our theater-archives and now behold what we unearthed:

The title-track of our first album (still under the name VINDSVAL):

"Imperium Grotesque"

Enjoy and shed a nostalgic tear to the sounds of last millennium's dusk!
