Norwegian metallers GRIFFIN will release their fourth full-length album, "Lifeforce", on May 2 via FaceFront Records. The release date for the rest of Europe and Japan will be announced later. The Japanese edition of the album will contain a bonus track called "Unforgiver", featuring KING DIAMOND's Andy LaRocque on lead guitar.

The follow-up to last year's "No Holds Barred" was recorded at Godt Selskap studios in Trondheim, Norway and was mixed by LaRoque at his Los Angered Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. Audio samples of the tracks "Utopia", "Dungeon", "Premonition", "Moment of Madness", "Building A Future" and "Accelerate" can be downloaded at this location.

In other news, GRIFFIN are currently shooting a video for the track "Utopia". A European tour is tentatively scheduled for the fall.
