ALCHEMIST: New Album Will Be 'A Different Record To The Rest'

August 17, 2006

Australian psychedelic metal band ALCHEMIST has posted the following update on its official web site:

"We have been writing solidly for what feels like an eternity but it's really coming together now. It's definitely going to be a different record to the rest, possibly the punchiest since 'Lunasphere' [1995]/ 'Spiritech' [1997] era. The overall vibe is less cut and dry heavy soft bits and integrated - heavy - psychedelia - driving - trippy mind melt moments!

"We have had some exciting offers for the future and can't wait to get this next record out and get back on the road. Only one more show this year: the big one!

"The last Metal for the Brain festival will be held on Saturday, November 4th, 2006 at the University of Canberra Refectory. This is the last planned ALCHEMIST show for 2006 and will mark the 15th anniversary of the original show and the final instalment as an annual Australian metal event! This year's show will be huge!"

ALCHEMIST's fifth studio album, "Austral Alien", was released in May 2003 through Chatterbox Records in Australia and Relapse Records in the rest of the world.
