DESTINY Postpones Album Recordings

October 15, 2007

Long-running Swedish metallers DESTINY have issued the following update:

"Due to a knee injury DESTINY has been forced to delay the recording of their seventh album.

"It was on September 19, just two days before the scheduled recording, that DESTINY drummer Birger Löfman was in the Swedish wilderness, when a rampant moose suddenly appeared.

"Lofman had just dragged his canoe up onto the pier after a tranquil time on a lake when he spotted the animal running towards him.

"Birger says he grabbed an arrow intending to shoot the moose with his bow but accidentally took a step backwards outside the pier and fell into the water hitting a rock at the bottom of the lake.

"This caused an internal bleeding in the knee. 'Nothing is broken, but it hurt a lot and my knee got very swollen,' says Birger. The moose, that was assumed to have been intoxicated from eating yeast apples in a yard nearby, turned around and disappeared at the sound of the drummer falling into the water.

"'I'm on crutches for a couple of weeks,' says Birger, hoping that the recordings can begin in November."

The production on DESTINY's new CD will be handled by Ken Olsson who also was involved with the group's debut, "Beyond All Sense" (1985) and "Nothing Left To Fear" (1991). The CD will feature a total of nine brand new songs which "more than ever before capture the band's self-described style of 'Mörkrock' (dark rock)," according to a press release.
