DISMEMBER Begins Recording New Album

October 6, 2007

Long-running Swedish death metallers DISMEMBER have entered B.A.S. studios with producer Nico Elgstrand (MURDER SQUAD, KRUX, MERCILESS, ENTOMBED) to begin recording their eighth full-length album. 11 tracks of "Stockholm death metal" are being laid down for an early 2008 release.

A video interview with DISMEMBER, conducted by Metalhead.ro on June 20, 2007 at Club Studio Martin in Bucharest, Romania, has been posted at this location.

DISMEMBER in May tapped drummer Thomas Daun (ex-REPUGNANT, INSISION, SUBVISION) to replace longtime skinsman Fred Estby, who left the band in April. "My decision to put my family in first hand makes it impossible to keep on touring and commit to the band full-time," Estby said in a statement. "I want to thank all the fans, friends, bands and all the other cool people I've met through the years and I wish DISMEMBER all the best in the future."

DISMEMBER's latest album, "The God That Never Was", was released in February 2006 via Regain Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Where Ironcrosses Grow" was once again produced by Estby at Sami Studio in Stockholm. The group's current lineup includes Matti Kärki (vocals),David Blomqvist (guitar),Martin Persson (guitar) and newcomer Tobias Christiansson on bass.
