CIVIL WAR Recording New Album With PETER TÄGTGREN: Second Clip From The Studio
July 30, 2014CIVIL WAR — the Swedish metal band featuring former SABATON members Rikard Sundén (guitar),Daniel Mullback (drums),Daniel Mÿhr (keyboards) and Oskar Montelius (guitar) alongside singer Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, LION'S SHARE),bassist Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson (VOLTURYON) and guitarist Peturs Granar — has entered Peter Tägtgren's (PAIN, HYPOCRISY) The Abyss in Pärlby, Sweden to begin recording its sophomore album for a late 2014 release via Napalm Records.
The second clip from the studio can be seen below.
CIVIL WAR's debut album, "The Killer Angels", was certified gold in Sweden by the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 20,000 copies.
(Note: The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry [IFPI] in Sweden has revised the sales requirements for albums to reach gold status in the country twice in the last 11 years — from the pre-2002 level of 40,000 to the current 20,000.)
"The Killer Angels" was distributed in Sweden via the June 2013 issue of Sweden Rock Magazine and each copy of the magazine containing the CD was counted towards the certification; the album was also sold separately.
The members of CIVIL WAR were presented with their gold plaques before headlining the Metal War festival in Budapest, Hungary.
Commented the band: "Selling 20,000-plus in our home country is something none of us could ever imagine when getting into the sessions leading up to the album. Even though we felt we made a solid record, getting these numbers was still something we couldn't predict upon our wildest imagination."
CIVIL WAR's debut EP was released on November 13, 2012 via Despotz Records.
Borrowing its name from the novel by Michael Shaara about the Battle of Gettysburg, "The Killer Angels" was recorded by Jonas Kjellgren at Studio Myhrer (which is actually the bed and living room of keyboard player Daniel Myhr),Black Lounge Studio and Peter Tägtgren's The Abyss in Pärlby, Sweden.
