DOUBLE DRAGON Putting Finishing Touches On New Album

February 10, 2011

Australia's DOUBLE DRAGON is currently at Adelaide's Against The Grain Studios completing the final tracking on the band's sophomore album, "Sons Of Asena", due later in the year. The follow-up to 2008's "Devastator" (Truth Inc. Records/MGM) will feature a guest appearance by Brisbane-based ARIA award nominee and platinum-selling Sony BMG singer songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke (pictured below) on the CD's closing track, "Asena". Also contributing guitars to the song will be Miller-Heidke's husband, co-songwriter and guitarist for her band KEIR NUTTAL.

Commented DOUBLE DRAGON vocalist Lee Gardiner: "We are all pretty excited with how this album is turning out. Having two new members has definitely altered our sound, as well as taking in everything we have learned from releasing an album, touring and playing alongside some of our heroes.

"Having Kate and Keir on our album is for me, a really big deal; I am a massive fan of their music and what they have contributed to 'Asena' is really going to surprise people familiar with their music. I have always wanted to hear them both on a really heavy track and now I have my wish!

"We really can't wait to get this thing out. We have been working on it solidly for the last 12-18 months. As soon as its at the mastering stage, we will be sending it out to labels in preparation to finally play some shows outside of Australia. We are itching like you would not believe to play in Asia, Europe and the U.S. When we come over, we hope you are nice to us!"

Since the release of "Devastator", DOUBLE DRAGON has toured nationally with SLAYER, MEGADETH, CHIMAIRA, THE HAUNTED and SOILWORK, to name a few. Since then the band has added drummer Liam Weedall (SONIC EUPHORIA, ASPHYXIA) and bassist Josh Lamonte (A RED DAWN, THE SCABS).

DOUBLE DRAGON has been confirmed to support NEVERMORE in Adelaide on June 12.
