Seattle metal band SHADED ENMITY has released a teaser track from its upcoming full-length album, "Forsaken And Forgotten". Entitled "And Life Was Great", the song was recorded, mixed and mastered by Aaron Smith (7 HORNS 7 EYES) at Envisage Audio. Aaron will also be working with SHADED ENMITY on "Forsaken And Forgotten", which will be recorded in February.

"And Life Was Great" will be made available through iTunes and other digital music providers within the next few days.

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

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."
