Swedish/Danish metallers CRYSTAL EYES have entered the studio to begin recording their sixth album, due later in the year via Metal Heaven. According to the band, "Stefan [Svantesson] has nailed the drum tracks, and Claes [Wikander] is busy recording his bass tracks. The recording of the guitars will begin right after Mikael [Dahl] is back from Sweden Rock Festival and Nico Adamsen will arrive at the end of next month to record his vocals." The CD will be mixed once again by Fredrik Nordstrm at Studio Fredman. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Ride The Rainbow", "Shadow Rider", "Dying In The Rain", "Guardian", "The Fire Of Hades", "Fighting", "Waves Of War", "The Devil Inside" and "Lonely Ball Of Fate". The group says, "Expect nothing but 100% pure heavy metal."
