Denmark's STATEMENT To Release 'Monsters' In March

February 5, 2014

Danish hard rockers STATEMENT will release their debut album, "Monsters", on March 17 via Mighty Music. The CD was recorded at Fastbeat Studio in Copenhagen, while vocal recording, mix and mastering was handled by internationally acclaimed sound wizard Tue Madsen at Antfarm studio in Aarhus, Denmark.

A video for the track "Keep You Alive" from the upcoming album can be seen below.

The story of STATEMENT started in 2011, when Niels Alex — drummer of now-defunct Danish metallers PILGRIMZ — met up with longtime friend and vocalist Jannick Brochdorf. Niels Alex was already an experienced musician on the Danish metal scene and has been playing in bands since 1994. With PILGRIMZ, he played shows alongside bands like MOTÖRHEAD, GOJIRA, CARCASS, THE HAUNTED and VOLBEAT, to name a few. But then Niels Alex wanted to do something else and ditched the drums in favor of the guitar and his love for classic hard rock. The lineup was completed with the addition of bassist Martin Poulsen from the death/grind band DRAB, drummer Peter Thomsen — who has supported EUROPE and TESLA with his former band SODE — and finally guitarist Jesper Steen Noachsen.

All five members were inspired by classical hard rock/metal acts such as SCORPIONS, LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH and METALLICA. So even though the majority of the band had been playing extreme metal for about 20 years, they all went back with a newfound love for their musical roots and the times of exploration.
