DENDURA Singer Issues Studio Update
December 18, 2008DENDURA, the female-fronted, progressive metal band from Grand Rapids, Michigan, recently entered the studio with Grammy Award-winning producer Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, QUEENSRŸCHE, DOKKEN) to begin recording its new album for a 2009 release.
Vocalist Aziza A. Poggi has issued the following update:
"Sadly, I broke out with a horrible sinus infection and cough a few days before vocals were to start. I went to my doctors and a special health clinic and got an IV of vitamin B, C and more into my system to shoot out the infection. I sat over a humidifier and didn't talk until vocals were to start. We did one verse and then I couldn't stop coughing (singing will make it worse, especially in chest voice). I had that itchy throat and couldn't stop coughing (though I tried not to cough) so we stopped. The guys did their leads in between my vocal rest. I couldn't sing again until Monday and then just built my endurance back up with the easier songs first. Though I'm feeling 95% better, I am being very careful and still, not talking after singing. The guys are going crazy with my bad penmanship! LOL, besides Neil. :) Things are progressing really good now and were back on track and everything is sounding so much better than I thought it could. Neil is a gem to work with. I feel honored. We will be scheduling more dates to finish my vocals amongst other things so we'll keep you posted!"
DENDURA last year inked a deal with KillZone Records. According to a press release, DENDURA are a perfect fit for KillZone "because they stand out from the norm in terms of talent, ability and marketability, bringing a presence of their own. They present an unforgettable approach to progressive metal that builds and weaves dark themes with the allure of sensual mystery. Their music and sound calls from a past that touches both the primal and inquisitive nature of our souls. They combine powerful, heavy music that drives like the shifting sands, carrying vocals like rising smoke and invoking the ghosts of a land and time long passed, but never forgotten."
DENDURA previously put out a self-released album, "New Life", and contributed a song to the award-winning film "Broken".
