FEJD Preparing To Enter Studio
March 15, 2010FEJD, the Swedish folk rock/metal band featuring members of NOSTRADAMEUS and PATHOS, has issued the following update:
"I guess I don't have to tell you how excited we are to finally start recording our second full-length album.
"This coming week we will spend working with the last preparations to make the visit in RoastingHouse Studios in Malmö as pleasing and comfortable as possible. This is the first time we enter the studio to record 'a real album,' so we have high hopes.
"The song 'Farväl' that has been featured on our site some time was written as our contribution for [Eurovision Song Contest], it will not be on the album as we feel that it doesn't represent FEJD where we are now and will therefore be removed from our playlist shortly. (That does not mean that we are not happy with the outcome of the song and the beautiful voice of Elina Tervonen)."
FEJD will enter RoastingHouse Studios] in Malmö on March 22 to begin recording the new CD for a tentative September release via Napalm Records.
FEJD formed in 2001 through a fusion of the folk music duo RIMMERFORS (featuring brothers Patrik Rimmerfors and Niklas Rimmerfors) and a couple of members from the metal band PATHOS. Rimmerfors played folk music with medieval undertones, performing on contemporary instruments, and together with their childhood friends of PATHOS, the transformed into a refined band with the best of both worlds — the weight of heavy metal in symbiosis with the typical melodic language and sadness of the Nordic folk music.
The brothers' interest in Swedish medieval folk music started back in 1995, commenced by music studying and the feeling of wanting to explore new musical ground and try something new. The brothers' musical background, as well as their bandmates, has its roots in heavy metal music. Inspiration is also drawn from like-minded bands such as GARMARNA and HEDNINGARNA.
FEJD released its full-length debut, "Storm", in March 2009 via Napalm Records.
