NARNIA Hard At Work On New Album

January 21, 2009

Swedish epic/melodic metallers NARNIA — who last year parted ways with singer Christian Liljegren and replaced him with Germán Pascual (MIND'S EYE, MENDEZ; pictured below) — have issued the following update:

"We're so happy to say that we've worked very hard in the studio lately and the result so far is VERY promising and we feel confident that we have the most interesting NARNIA album to date! Andreas [Johansson] has smashed his drums with greater intensity than ever and the few vocal tracks we have now recorded with Germán have width, depth, power and personality. Dare we say — even the GUITARS sound great!!

"The album will be finalized during the spring, and in May Fredrik Nordström will squeeze every little drip out of the material during the mix at Studio Fredman. You have heard Fredrik's work on albums by IN FLAMES, SOILWORK, HELLFUELED, ARCH ENEMY, AT THE GATES and many more."

NARNIA in 2007 posted a newly recorded song, "In His Majesty's Service" on their MySpace page. The track was originally written and recorded by the Swedish band JERUSALEM back in 1985. NARNIA's version of the song is featured on the group's 10th-anniversary "best of" album, "Decade of Confession", which was released via Massacre Records.

NARNIA's most recent collection of all-new material, "Enter the Gate", was released in April 2006 via Massacre. The CD, which was released in Japan on March 23, 2006 via Attic Arcade/Gencross, was described by the band as "the most well-sounding and well-performed NARNIA album to date." The follow-up to 2003's "The Great Fall" features backing vocals by Mats Levén (THERION, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, AT VANCE) and contains "the most melodic and catchy songs since 'Long Live the King' from the late '90s but in a brand new sound and approach," according to the band.
