”A Collection Of Depravation assembles all of legendary Swedish goregrind outfit General Surgery’s out of print singles, vinyl only eps, comp appearances and a few unheard demos into one filthy CD collection.

Pre-order it from the Relapse web store.

We are sorry to hit you with some somber news at the beginning of 2012, but here it is from Dr Wallin himself:

”Due to increasing personal commitments and lack of time I am unfortunately forced to leave the team of surgeons. I´d like to wish my past fellow medicals all the best for the future, and thank them for these 8 years of unruly scalpel marathon, as well as send out a big cheers to all the fans, promotors who booked us and bands we played with during these years.
/Dr Wallin”

The rest of the surgery team are of course sorry to see Dr Wallin leave our ranks and wish him all the best for the future. We sure had a good run and Dr Wallin’s contribution will not be forgotten.

Right now we are in the process of finishing up our collection of old split releases to come out on CD for the first time. More info on the release date and the label releasing it as soon as we get word.

We have also recorded five new songs during the fall which will be released as a 7″ on said label at some point during the new year. In other news, song writing for the 3rd full length album has commenced.

To sum it up, lots of new product coming out from us in 2012 and for now we will be continuing as a 4 piece unit writing a new album. Sickly splattering sounds will be coming your way in 2012 – the gore won’t stop!

Due to unforeseen circumstances regarding traveling, we will be unable to perform our San Antonio surgery as scheduled. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and hope to rectify this by returning at some point in the future.

Slicingly yours
//The Surgeons

We’re returning to the good ol’ US of A in December to play the Rites of Darkness Fest vol. 3.

Date: 2011-12-10
Where: Backstage Live, San Antonio, Texas

Since it’s a last minute booking, unfortunately that means that Dr Wallin must sit out the show. So this will be a rare occasion to see us performing as a quartet, no less gory though.

We’re celebrating the re-release and the 20th anniversary of the Necrology EP on Saturday November 12 at Kulturhuset, Stockholm.
Also on the bill are Grave who are playing their legendary first album in its entirety, along with Vicious Art who are playing their final show.

Expect a Necrology-heavy set from yours truly plus maybe a some new treats. We’ll see what happens.
