CLOUDSCAPE: New Album Title Announced

April 15, 2010

Swedish metallers CLOUDSCAPE have issued the following update:

"As some of you might have noticed, it has been quite silent around CLOUDSCAPE for some time.

"We have updated a few minor news in order to send you all some life signs. Nonetheless, as mentioned, CLOUDSCAPE is still fully alive and hungrier than ever. But, 2009 and parts of 2010 have been quite struggling years mainly because of member changes and stuff which have prevented us from moving on.

"Roger Landin and Haynes Pherson left CLOUDSCAPE in early 2009 because of personal issues and they were shortly replaced by Fredrik Joakimsson (drums) and Håkan Nyander (bass). Fredrik and Håkan have filled the band with new fuel and inspiration and the songwriting for our fourth album is going really damn well and all of us are very excited about the new songs.

"We have a few more songs left to compose in order to have more than enough songs to the next album ('New Era') but, we are quite sure we will be finished with the songwriting process during early fall.

"As soon as we are finished with the new songs, we will start to check out the music business and contact different labels for a possible co-operation and release of 'New Era'. We will also make sure to find good booking agencies that have the right connections to organize more live shows and tours. Nonetheless, we will try to do a few more shows during 2010 so, stay tuned and keep yourself up to date in this site.

"The next scheduled live show will be in Helsingborg, Sweden at the venue called The Tivoli as special guest to FULLFORCE on July 10. We will have something very special included in our setlist as well...don't miss this event.

"Unfortunately we have a sad announcement as well. Björn Eliasson (guitar) has also decided to leave CLOUDSCAPE. His reasons for this is just like Roger and Haynes...personal reasons. He will continue to compose music in one way or another but, he will not be a part of CLOUDSCAPE anymore.

"We are currently trying out a few replacements for Björn. Soon we will be able to announce the new axeman...stay tuned!!

"So, as you see, some good news and some sad but, CLOUDSCAPE will continue as before but, with new blood in the band and considering the past months we decided to name our fourth album 'New Era' which talks for itself.

"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 in 2008 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.
