DEGRADEAD Hard At Work On Sophomore Album

Stockholm, Sweden-based melodic death metallers DEGRADEAD have entered Abyss Studio (owned by HYPOCRISY/PAIN's Peter Tägtgren) with producer Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY) to begin recording their new album for a 2009 release via Dockyard 1 Records. The CD will be mixed and mastered at Dug Out Productions (IN FLAMES, ENGEL) in Uppsala, Sweden.

Footage from the studio can be viewed below.

DEGRADEAD will play a special Christmas show on Thursday December 18 at Tantogården in Stockholm. There will be some surprises and a couple of support bands.

DEGRADEAD's debut album, "Till Death Do Us Apart", which was released in January on Dockyard 1 Records, was recorded at IN FLAMES' IF Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden and was produced by a team calling itself H.O.R.D.E — with IN FLAMES' Björn Gelotte mixing and engineering the CD while Jesper Strömblad and Daniel Svensson co-engineered the effort. According to a press release, the result is "a piece of finest melodic death metal — finding the perfect balance between death, thrash and catchy melodies, with their already very own signature."
