The South African HORRORFEST 2007 In 2005 Paul launched the first annual South African HORROR FESTACULAR. This incorporates everything from older classics, more recent favourites and rare independent movies, to local and foreign made short films & music videos, as well as PlayStation games, comics, Halloween dress-up and live music. The latter consists of local musicians creating an original soundtrack to a silent horror / chiller / sci-fi / fantasy film, and performing it live to the screen. 2005 saw a string quintet led by Matthijs Van Dijk breathing new life into the 1925 Phantom Of The Opera. 2006 saw a fantastic collaboration. The chosen film was the brilliant 1922 Nosferatu. Paul represented V.O.D and his TERMINATRYX project (on programming, electric guitar & keyboards) together with Sonja (vocals), while Francois (V.O.D, DIE KRUIS) handled keyboards and samples. They were joined by LARK members Simon (upright bass, duduk, theremin) and Sean (percussion samples). Matthijs Van Dijk (DAWN TREADER) returned with electric violin. On the night before Halloween the packed Labia Theatre (in Orange Street, Cape Town) experienced something amazing. Entries are open for feature films, short movies, music videos, animation etc. - submission forms and general details can be found at: www.MySpace.com/SAhorrorfest or www.HORRORFEST.info

BLOEDRIVIER RE-RELEASE

“It’s great to see there’s still a demand for our music. This release is very exciting since hardly anyone got to hear the album in S.A. the first time around. Many KOBUS! fans have been asking for this as well, so I think it just makes sense. A reunion tour is definitely on the table.”
– Francois Breytenbach Blom

“Our trip to Europe, the Bloedrivier recording and Autumn Wilderness Tour was a groundbreaking achievement which did not receive the coverage and hype back home as it should have. It is easy to praise something you played a role in creating, but even today this album still kicks serious ass!”
– Paul André Blom

This release, sub-titled The V.O.D Archives Volume 1 includes new artwork, and enhanced features: two never before seen videos, all the demos recorded for the album and a web link. The sleeve also features a foreword by Marq Vas.
The V.O.D Archives Volume 2 is scheduled for release in 2007.

The album will be in all good music stores (Look & Listen, CD Wherehouse and specialist stores like Subterania), just in time to set fire to your mistletoe – if they don’t stock it, demand it!
