Victimizer Returns From Break
Denmark's premier thrash metal band, Victimizer, has now returned after a much needed break. The first rehearsals have proven the new incarnation of the band to be stronger and more fierce than ever. Victimizer still consists of JBP (aka Killheiler, vocals), Henrik Engkjær (aka Mr. Born To Lose, guitar) and Vuml (bass). Two new members have joined the ranks in the shape of Søren Bentsen (drums) and Peter Engkjær (guitar). Both are also involved with Hideous Invasion and the latter being the brother of long time guitarist, Henrik Engkjær.
This means that the band, while still fairly scattered, are now based in Copenhagen, where the early rehearsals have taken place.
The band has also started work on the first new material since the acclaimed ”The Final Assault” album, that was released in 2007 by the american label, Hells Headbangers. The new material promises an even more unreasonable take on fast, aggressive, rocking and catchy death/thrash. In one of the coming months Victimizer will enter the studio and fans should be able to hear new songs in the not too distant future.
The first part in Victimizer’s return will probably be on the live front though, and currently there is one concert confirmed:
January 3rd: Ungdommens Hus, Fredericia.
In the meantime, you can check out some of Victimizer's song on their MySpace page.

"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.
