ANGEL BLAKE: In Mixing Mode
January 18, 2008ANGEL BLAKE, the Swedish band featuring former THE CROWN guitarist Marko Tervonen, is putting the finishing touches on its second album at Tervonen's Studio MT (located three kilometers from Trollhättan, Sweden) for a late April release via Dynamic Arts Records. A single, entitled "Defenseless", will precede the album in the spring.
Commented Tervonen: "I've been messing with different ANGEL BLAKE mixes for days now. Trying out new toys, different combination of gear etc. etc. I believe I found the best possible production for this album, so the time has come to start mixing down the songs. And a mastering session has been booked for Tuesday next week at Bohus Sound Studios. There shouldn't be any problems making the deadline. And cover artwork is beeing finnished as well, the much talanted Claudio Bergamin is taking care of that area. And the video for 'Defenseless' [first single] should be done early next week. A lot of stuff happeing right now, looking forward to see everything in their complete form."
ANGEL BLAKE recently announced the addition of singer Tobias Jansson following the departure of former TRANSPORT LEAGUE/MNEMIC frontman Tony Jelencovich.
Commented Marko: "I was acquainted with the vocals of one Tobias Jansson since months back due to mutual friends. So I got in touch with him, talked with him, popped the question, and a few days later we were demoing some new ANGEL BLAKE songs. I guess the simplest conclusion to that session is that HE KICKED ASS!!!!! He managed to deliver something really extraordinary into the AB sound that wasn’t simply there before. He definitely managed to convince me and the rest of the ANGEL BLAKE team. With my humble words: Tobias has a very 'in-your-face' vocal style that shares the honesty of singers like Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant the style that really brings forth the 'honesty' in the voice. And the man's vocal range is something I really embrace, goddamned!!! You're in it for a real treat, ladies and gentlemen, if you pick up the forthcoming album, mark my words."
ANGEL BLAKE's current touring lineup is as follows:
Tobias Jansson - Vocals
Marko Tervonen (ex-THE CROWN) - Guitar
Janne Saarenpää (ex-THE CROWN) - Drums
Örjan Wressel - Contrabass
Anders Edlund (INCAPACITY, SOLAR DAWN) - Guitar
ANGEL BLAKE's self-titled debut album was released in North America in April 2006 via Metal Blade Records.
