DARKANE: 'Nine Songs Ready' For New Album

September 20, 2007

DARKANE drummer Peter Wildoer has posted this message on his web site:

"In July we finally finished the mix of SOILWORK's new CD 'Sworn to a Great Divide'. It took about one more month of work then planned. I think it turned out very well with a quite raw production. Right now Klas [Ideberg; DARKANE] and I are working on the Swedish metal band CONSTRUCDEAD's new CD. If things go as planned (which they never do) we will be finished in about two or three weeks.

"After the CONSTRUCDEAD CD will be finished we'll start working on the mix of the upcoming DARKANE DVD. I just hope the DVD will be released early next year. I also need to mix Stefan Rosqvist's debut solo CD together with Stefan. I'm looking forward to releasing that CD a lot. It will be the first time I will play on a CD that is not metal with lots of improvised drumming. It features me performing everything from loose 'jazzy' drumming to more rock orientated material. I guess a lot of people will be surprised!

"Late this year Lalle Larsson will release his 'Seven Deadly Pieces' DVD. The DVD will cover most of Lalle's work over the years. The 'main concert' where 'Seven Deadly Pieces' is performed live features me on drums. If you go to the video section here on my site you will find two videos from that concert.

"Carl Johan Grimmark's (of NARNIA) first solo release is just released. I'm drumming on that one as well. It's released on a small record label so I don't know how easy it is to get hold of it. It's a kind of heavy hard rock. You can visit Carl Johan's MySpace site with plenty of samples.

"This coming winter we will start recording DARKANE's fifth record. We have about nine songs ready. We were hoping to enter the studio earlier but in typical DARKANE bad luck, our studio got flooded and badly damaged. So now we're looking for a new location for the studio and as soon as we find that we need to rebuild the studio which takes a lot of time. Hopefully we will start recording around Christmas (fingers crossed)."

DARKANE's upcoming DVD was shot in May 2006 in the band's hometown of Helsingborg, Sweden.

The band last year completed a European tour in support of their fourth album, "Layers of Lies", available now on Nuclear Blast Records. It is the follow-up to the band's third studio CD, "Expanding Senses", which was released in 2002.
