CALIBAN: New Album Title Revealed
December 15, 2008German metalcore act CALIBAN has set "Say Hello To Tragedy" as the title of its seventh album, tentatively due in March/April 2009 via an as-yet-undisclosed label. The band says, "With the new songs, we are taking things to the next level from 'The Awakening' [2007] just in a more extreme way! We now mixed even more old stuff with new elements! If you thought 'The Awakening' was heavier than the other albums we released before, then wait until you hear the new one! The mood of the album will generally be a bit 'darker,' and more somber as the album title might let you suggest. Some of the songs will probably hit you like a rock, haha! Also, the vocals changed a little bit again, especially the clean vox; we will still have them, but in a different way. They're going more together with the screaming and won't be that seperated most of the time, which makes everything way more interesting!"
The group adds, "This time we worked really long and hard to get the 12 new tracks together, we never 'trashed' so many songs, parts and ideas as we did for this album, not because they were bad. We just thought we can do better, that was only possible because we had much more time on our hands compared to the previous albums. This way we could pick the best 12 songs out of like 20 or something. We just can't wait for everybody of you guys to hear the new tracks!! And hope you like them as much as we do!!"
The artwork for the new CD will be created by Basti Basti of CALLEJON, who has previously worked with such bands as HEAVEN SHALL BURN and WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH.
CALIBAN's sixth album, "The Awakening", was released in North America on October 23, 2007 via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Benny Richter and was originally issued in Europe on May 25, 2007 via Roadrunner Records. The album peaked at number 36 on the German album charts. A limited digipak edition was released, which also came with a bonus patch.
