CLOUDSCAPE Announces New Drummer
March 3, 2009Swedish metallers CLOUDSCAPE have announced the addition of drummer Fredrik Joakimsson to the group's ranks. According to the band, Fredrik "has been a friend [for] a few years and [was] originally also a fan of CLOUDSCAPE. Fredrik hasn't appeared on any official albums before but, at the side of CLOUDSCAPE he plays in a few local bands. Fredrik was asked to replace Roger [Landin, former CLOUDSCAPE drummer] for the gig in Helsingborg on February 27. He learned ten songs in less than nine days 100% and when the band met up to rehearse the setlist, Fredrik impressed enormously."
"Darkest Legacy", the latest video from CLOUDSCAPE, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed, directed and edited by Rainer Holmgren (PAIN OF SALVATION, ARSIS).
"Darkest Legacy" comes off the group's third album, "Global Drama", which was released last summer in Europe through Goldencore/Roastinghouse Records and in North America through Nightmare Records.
CLOUDSCAPE previously described "Global Drama" as "the most varied and interesting album by CLOUDSCAPE so far. It contains a few really hard and raw metal songs and there will also be a few more atmospheric and dynamic songs progressively spiced."
The CD was produced by Pontus Lindmark and recorded at RoastingHouse Studios in Malmö, Sweden.
CLOUDSCAPE's sophomore CD, "Crimson Skies", was released in the U.S. in July 2006 via Nightmare Records.
