CRYSTAL EYES: 'We Are Still Alive'

April 7, 2010

Swedish metallers CRYSTAL EYES have issued the following update:

"We've been getting a lot of questions lately about the status of CRYSTAL EYES so here it is: We're still alive and somewhere in the middle of the songwriting process for the seventh album. It's far too early to talk about release dates but since the speed and the Halford screams are back in the new songs it will be worth the wait.

"If you want to see CRYSTAL EYES live, don't miss the gig in Borås in Sweden on the 24th of April. We're hoping to announce some more dates soon."

CRYSTAL EYES last year parted ways with Danish singer Søren Nico Adamsen (ARTILLERY) and decided to carry on as a four-piece band, with Mikael Dahl (guitar) handling lead vocals.

An edited medley of the demo recordings for the last CRYSTAL EYES album, "Chained", featuring Mikael on lead vocals, is available for for streaming on the band's MySpace page. According to the group, "(The vocals on the demo recordings are first takes with no real lyrics. Just random "heavy metal words."

"Chained" was released in November 2008 via Metal Heaven Records. The CD's cover artwork was created by Carl-André Beckston (a.k.a. Monowasp). The album was mixed at Studio Fredman with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, HAMMERFALL).
