APOSTASY: Rough-Mix Version Of New Song Posted Online

May 22, 2009

Swedish black metal act APOSTASY has posted a rough-mix version of the title track from the band's upcoming third full-length album, "Nuclear Messiah". The song will be available for streaming on the group's MySpace page for one week before it is taken down.

"Nuclear Messiah" is being recorded in part at Ballerina studios in Umeå, Sweden. It is expected that the CD will be completed by early summer.

Vocalist Fredric Edin previously stated about the upcoming CD, "It's been a rocky road for us when we lost [guitarist] Henrik [Johansson], but now we are stronger than ever and can guarantee you folks that this will surely be the most brutal and most technical we have ever made, so what I want to say is: We don't slow down like everybody else does, we just accelerate and make it more brutal. It is worth waiting for!"

APOSTASY made national headlines in Sweden in 2006 when the group's guitarist Henrik Johansson was stabbed to death by his girlfriend. At 3:55 a.m. on March 9, 2006, the 19-year-old girlfriend dialed 112 (the Swedish equivalent of 911 in the U.S. or 999 in the U.K.) and said that her boyfriend was lying bleeding on the floor in the couple's apartment in Kramfors, Sweden. When the paramedics and police arrived, Henrik Johansson was already dead.
