OFFICIAL STATEMENT: NASUM VOCALIST MIESZKO TALARCZYK MISSING IN THAILAND
It's very hard for us to make this announcement, but since rumours are already out on the Internet we must make an official statement: Mieszko Talarczyk is missing in Thailand.
Mieszko and his girlfriend went to Thailand to spend the holidays. They left a few days before Christmas and were scheduled to return right after New Years Eve.
They were staying in a bungalow at Phi Phi Island and when the big wave came and swept the bungalow away the two were seperated. Mieszko's girlfriend is being reported hospitalized "badly injured" but she has been in contact with among others Mieszko's sister who has been posting an "I'm looking for..." at the Phuket Disaster Forum.
This is everything we know right now. Since we are all shocked by this surreal situation we strongly advice fans of Nasum to respect the anxiety we and the Talarczyk and Thorén families feel at this time, and NOT post questions by email or in the guestbook at nasum.com. We will post all sorts of news on the website, but again, please respect our wish in this uneasy time.
Sincerely,
Anders, Jon and Urban of Nasum.

I really liked Nasum's first two releases. They're definitely a good gateway band for a lot of people to get into grind.

Here's an unimportant update...
"As of midnight Wednesday/Thursday [Dec. 29-30] we have nothing to report about the whereabouts of Mieszko. There are still lots of 'good' possible scenarios that we prefer to think about instead of drawing negative conclusions. We suggest that you do the same.
"We have some information about the condition of Mieszko's girlfriend. Her injuries are not lethal. She has broken one or both legs and gotten some lacerations. She is in a deep shock and we really hope that she will be on one of the airplanes returning to Sweden with injured people.
"We would also like to say thanks to all the kind words and thoughts posted by people in the guestbook. This kind of support really helps us in the band to cope with this unreal situation. Thanks again!
"Finally, to the people who have sent orders for merchandise: please respect that we can't really deal with your orders right now, at least not at once.
"Sincerely, Anders, Jon and Urban of NASUM, along with ex-members Rickard Alriksson and Jesper Liveröd, as well as all of Mieszko's friends in Örebro and elsewhere."

Still no news...
As of Monday January 10, we have nothing to report about Mieszko's whereabouts. We can report that his girlfriend has returned to Sweden and is at the moment getting all possible treatment for her physical and emotional wounds.
We would also alert all customers of Soundlab Studios to read the message to the right.
Again, thanks for the support in the guestbook during the last couple of weeks. We appreciate it a lot and seek comfort in your concern.
Sincerely,
The members of Nasum.

And finally, the post I didn't want to make:
DEPARTED NASUM FRONTMAN TO BE HONORED ON SIRUIS SATELLITE RADIO
Departed NASUM frontman Mieszko Talarczyk, a victim of the December, 2004 Thailand tsunami disaster, will be honored on Sirius Satellite Radio's "Bloody Roots" program this Sunday, March 6th beginning at 2:00 PM EST.
"Bloody Roots" host Ian Christe will pay tribute to the fallen Talarczyk by dedicating this week's program to his memory and the ten successful years of Mieszko's band NASUM. The show will also feature a host of current day Swedish acts, many of whom Talarczyk produced, and will also detail Swedish hardcore pioneers that helped pave the way, including bands such as Rattus, Anti Cimex, and Black Uniforms. The episode will rebroadcast on Tuesday, March 8th at 9:00 PM EST.
"Grindcore is a very democratic world, nobody asks to be a rock star," Christe states. "But Nasum were basically Grindcore 2.0, and when you listen to their huge back catalog, and the multitude of ripping side projects, the bands Mieszko himself produced -- good god, there's a huge sense of loss. A central chunk of the heart of Swedish grind has just vanished."

I'm glad Nasum's not going on, actually. Their music was starting to decline, and it's best to leave Mieszko's legacy as a founder of a very influential band rather than have "the new shit that isn't very good" vs. "Mieszko days".
It should be interesting to see what happens with "Grind Finale" sales. With all the publicity they've received, this could bring grind a little closer to the mainstream. That would certainly be odd.

NASUM drummer Anders Jakobson has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"I'm unhappy to announce that 'Grind Finale' [the NASUM collection] will be slightly delayed due to printing issues. I don't have the exact details, but apparently the printer sent the wrong templates for the artwork to Relapse, resulting in a complete set of artwork in the wrong size, so the Relapse guys have all worked this over and corrected everything according to the right templates, resulting in a slight delay in the release.
There are a lot of time, love and energy invested in this release already and we are certainly not going to damage all that with a bad printing, so we all just have to face the fact and wait a little longer for the release.
"The new release dates are as follows:
USA: November 15
Europe: November 21
Japan: During November

I was going to post the story here earlier, but the remaining guys from Nasum are going to be teaming up with their old bass player from Human 2.0 and Helvette, and putting some tunes together under a different name. Cool that they felt Mieszko was such a huge part of that band that they will only continue on under a different name.
However, they said their new stuff will not resemble Nasum (although they did say it will be grind). I'm not sure I like that idea after watching their steady declining after Human 2.0.

I have Human 2.0. Personally, I thought it sucked. I hope this new stuff is better.
