DARKANE: New Album Update

January 19, 2005

Guitarist Christofer Malmström of the Swedish thrashers DARKANE has posted the following update on the recording sessions for the group's new album:

"OK, we are still recording the DARKANE album. Right now we have vocals to 5 songs, and 5 more songs to go. I've recorded a few of my solos too. I'm very eager to get this album ready because it's taken a lot of time. We started in October and it's taking so long because we are working our day jobs at the same time, and you can't be in the studio every day either. Got to take care of personal stuff too. Some days we enter the studio just to fix something that might have gone broken or just make backup copies of the hard drive, and such things takes a lot of time too. Anyway, the end result will be good I'm quite convinced. If you like our former albums you will probably like this too. On 'Expanding Senses' there were a lot of 'one-note vocal lines', and we have tried to avoid that this time by writing 'more-than-one-note vocal lines'! Get it? =) Anyway, today I think some new photos from the studio turned up at www.darkane.com.

"Today was a day off from the studio for me so I thought I would check in and at least give you something. And when I give something it's mostly video clips because I am the guy in the band that always runs the video camera when things are happening. I've taped a lot of all of our recordings and tours and someday parts of it will end up on a DVD. That's been the plan for a long time.

"This time however I won't put up anything that I've shot myself, but a small TV clip from December 2003 when DARKANE was on the national television program 'Musikbyrån'. The show was about the Sweden Rock festival earlier that year and we had the opportunity to be a part of it. It starts with an interview in Swedish with Mr. Wildoer, and after that is a small segment from 'Violence From Within' played live. Shots from that festival also ended up on the 'Chaos vs Order' video.

"The clip is 1.35 min long and 4.7 MB large. Download it by clicking here! (Windows Media)"
