In other news, BATTLELORE has issued the following update:
"BATTLELORE will be playing at Sataman Y Festival in Jyvskyl, Finland, on June 12th. The festival is located in the harbour of Jyvskyl, lasting from June 11th to June 14th. Sataman Y is not a metal festival and offers loads of performers and happenings, but as pretty much all the festivals in Finland it has many metal bands performing."
BATTLELORE will enter Sound Supreme studios in Finland on March 31 with producer Janne Saksa to begin recording their new album for an August/September 2008 release via Napalm Records. Mixing duties will be handled by Dan Swan.
Regarding the direction of the new material, vocalist Tomi Mykknen previously stated, "At the moment it seems that there will be bigger, more epic parts in the vein of 'Sword's Song' but also more harder, heavier parts in the vein of 'Evernight'. I'm quite sure that you fans won't be disappointed with this one."
BATTLELORE released its fourth album, "Evernight", in North America on March 13, 2007 via Napalm Records. The CD was issued in Europe in February.
The follow-up to 2005's "Third Age of the Sun", "Evernight" was recorded at MusicBros Studio and was produced by Miitri Aaltonen, who previously worked with the Finnish "fantasy metal" band on their first two CDs, "...Where The Shadows Lie" (2002) and "Sword's Song" (2003). The mastering duties were handled at Finnvox Studios.
