KEEP OF KALESSIN: New Audio Interview Posted Online

May 14, 2010

Infernal Masquerade recently conducted an interview with mainman Obsidian C. of Norwegian extreme metal veterans KEEP OF KALESSIN. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

An e-card for "Reptilian", the new album from KEEP OF KALESSIN, can be accessed at this location. The CD was made available in Europe (except Germany, Austria and Switzerland) on May 10 through Indie Recordings and will arrive in North America on June 8 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Dragon Iconography
02. The Awakening
03. Judgement
04. The Dragontower
05. Leaving The Mortal Flesh
06. Dark As Moonless Night
07. The Divine Land
08. Reptilian Majesty

Regarding the album artwork, which can be viewed below, Obsidian C. stated, "The music on 'Reptilian' is more in your face and direct than before so we chose this cover and the title to emphasise that directness as well as focusing even more on the fantasy elemement in the band. This beast of an album is staring at you and it's going straight for your throat!"

KEEP OF KALESSIN took third place in the grand final of the national Eurovision Song Contest called "Melodi Grand Prix" which was held on February 6 at the Spektrum in Oslo. The band performed a song called "The Dragontower", which was originally written for the group's next album but had to be shortened from 5:20 minutes to 3:00 minutes for the performance. The full, unedited track, of course, appears on the new KEEP OF KALESSIN CD.

KEEP OF KALESSIN's last CD, "Kolossus", was released in June 2008. The album was made available via Indie Recordings and was licensed to Nuclear Blast for the following territories: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and rest of the world outside Europe (except Australia and Russia).
