FEJD To Enter Studio In March

January 17, 2010

FEJD, the Swedish folk rock/metal band featuring members of NOSTRADAMEUS and PATHOS, has issued the following update:

"We've been talking back and forth about the start of the recordings of our second full-length album, and we finally agreed on March 22 as a start date for the recordings. That means that from March 22 we will be [at RoastingHouse Studios] in in Malmö, Sweden to record our coming album.

"We've always been in a situation where we could write music and lyrics in a pace that seamed to fit us as a band, but now with a label behind us we have to work somewhat faster than what we've done in the past. That is something that is both encouraging and new for us but something that we feel very satisfied with, and that stimulates us to work hard to do our best.

"Our new material is very live-oriented, which means that it's easy to 'rock' to and we hope that we will be able to play one or two songs for you live this coming summer.

"Our aim is to get this album our for you to listen to as soon as possible, but that still means that it will take a couple of months after the recordings are finished, say somewhere like August/September 2010, to be completely honest. We are doing our best together with Napalm [Records] to release it as soon as we can."

FEJD released its full-length debut, "Storm", in March 2009 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.
