AMORPHIS Frontman To Guest On New DISCARD CD

September 10, 2007

Tomi Joutsen, the lead singer of Finnish metal legends AMORPHIS, has recorded a guest appearance on "Carrion", the debut album by Joensuu, Finland-based modern thrashers DISCARD. Joutsen can be heard on three of the CD's tracks.

DISCARD, which combines the catchiness of PANTERA, the aggression of THE HAUNTED and the colossal soundscape of CHIMAIRA, was formed in 2004 and made two demos before signing a record deal with Shadow World Records from Helsinki. The latter of the demos caused quite a fuss among the media both in band's native Finland and abroad. Soundi, the leading Finnish rock magazine, awarded the demo with "demo of the month" prize.

"Carrion" was recorded during the spring at Joensuun Tiedepuisto and Studio Perkele with producer Sami "Jämy" Jämsen (DEATHCHAIN, SHADE EMPIRE, TURMION KÄTILÖT). The album was mixed by Jack Tyger, whose latest works include offerings by AJATTARA and DE LIRIUM'S ORDER, and the mastering was handled by Minerva Pappi at Finnvox Studios. The cover artwork was made by Vivendi Games' Taiwanese game concept artist Camille Kuo and the portraits in the CD sleeve were drawn by the award-winning Japanese game graphic artist Ryohei Hase.

"Carrion" track listing:

01. Bleeding Lead
02. Pulse
03. Draconian Measures
04. The True Northern Mindset
05. Bury The Sun
06. The Antagonist
07. Fiend
08. Circles Of Bonedust
09. Demonology
10. Concubine
11. Will Above Will

Samples of the album can be heard on the band's MySpace page.

"Carrion" will be released on October 17 via Shadow World Records.
