ASTRAL DOORS Parts Ways With Management Company

October 24, 2008

On November 1, the cooperation between Swedish metallers ASTRAL DOORS and their management company, Intromental, will come to an end. The parties have decided to amicably go separate ways due to differences in their visions for the band's future.

Commented Intromental Promotional Director Lars Larsen: "It has been a fantastic time, from the time we signed the band based on their demos 'till we, five albums down the line, saw them headlining European tours. A time we fondly look back upon with lots of great moments and memories. However, it's time to say goodbye. Intromental Management is moving forward with other bands, and ASTRAL DOORS will now try to stand on their own feet."

Commented ASTRAL DOORS: "Our time with Intromental has been quite a journey. They've been great towards us and without them we wouldn't be where we are today. Intromental has brought us out on several tours and offered us lots of other tours that most other bands would have killed for. We have worked extremely close with Lars and Claus; it's been like a marriage, and how many marriages these days last forever?"

ASTRAL DOORS is currently writing material for a new album which will be released mid-September 2009 on Locomotive Records. The band says, "The sessions so far have been just great; it's business as usual. Our goal with all our albums has always been to create world-class hard rock and the same goes for this one: when the album is recorded, pressed and released we wanna say: Fuck, we created a monster!"

ASTRAL DOORS' latest album, "New Revelation", was released in September 2007 via Locomotive Music. The CD was recorded at Big Turn Studio and at The Darkside in Borlänge, Sweden and was mixed at the Abyss Studios in Sweden by Peter Tägtgren and ASTRAL DOORS.

ASTRAL DOORS' third CD, "Astralism", was re-released in August 2006 as a digipack, featuring a newly written bonus track, entitled "21st Century Medieval".
