BATTLELORE To Enter Studio In March
December 20, 2007Finnish "fantasy metal" band BATTLELORE has issued the following update:
"Recordings of our next album shall begin on March 31st, 2008 at Sound Supreme studios, Finland. Janne Saksa will record and produce the new album and the mixing will be done by Swedish metal legend Dan Swanö. Estimated release time for the album is around August/September 2008."
Regarding the direction of the new material, vocalist Tomi Mykkänen 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."
As previously reported, BATTLELORE will play two shows with BAL-SAGOTH in Finland in January. The details are as follows:
Jan. 25 - Helsinki, Finland - Nosturi
Jan. 26 - Turku, Finland - Klubi
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.
