MARIONETTE Continuing Work On New Material

January 13, 2009

Gothenburg, Sweden-based metal sextet MARIONETTE is hard at work on material for its as-yet-untitled sophomore album.

Commented bassist and founding member Mikael Medin: "After [the] Reiterfestspiele [tour of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic with DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, MUSTASCH and HONIGDIEB], we immediately began collecting and putting together song ideas and working on some new riffs: some of which had been written right after [MARIONETTE's debut album] 'Spite' was recorded, and some that were completely new. Before we knew it we had written a handful of songs. The writing process thus far has been awesome, working with our new guitarist Anton [Modig] has been refreshing and rewarding: he has really been a great complementary force to where we are heading musically. Let’s just say that the next album will be more extreme in every way than 'Spite'."

MARIONETTE's debut album, "Spite", was released in Europe on April 28, 2008 via Listenable Records and in North America in September via Koch/Listenable. The CD was recorded with producers Simon Exner and two-time Swedish Grammis award winner Åke Parmerud in Borås, Sweden. "Spite" was mixed and mastered by Christian Silver at Studio Mega (SONIC SYNDICATE, BY NIGHT) in Varberg, Sweden.

Upcoming MARIONETTE dates:

Jan. 17 - Academy 2, Newcastle, UK
Jan. 19 - Bar Academy, Birmingham, UK
Jan. 20 - Academy 2, Bristol, UK
Jan. 21 - Bar Academy Islington, London, UK
