Seattle metal band SHADED ENMITY will enter the studio later this month with producer/engineer Aaron Smith (7 HORNS 7 EYES) to record a demo/teaser track for its new full-length album, "Forsaken And Forgotten", which is scheduled for a spring release.

The follow-up to 2011's "Hijo Perdido" will feature cover artwork by Dan Arena.

The new song will be available for download by December 25.

Commented SHADED ENMITY vocalist/guitarist Joe Nurre: "We were a little late in getting around to recording/writing this album as I spent most of this year on the road playing guitar with Jeff Loomis [ex-NEVERMORE].

"The new material really flowed naturally from us, and it gave us time to write a really unique album.

"Our previous album, 'Hijo Perdido', had some really intense drumming on it, and the songs were faster and more to the point. This time we decided to take our time a little more with the writing, which has resulted in longer songs, with more melodies and solos.

"Originally we had decided to just do an EP, but we didn't want to cheat our fans, so we decided to do a full-length."
