NIGHTFALL Issues Studio Update

February 11, 2010

Reformed Greek metallers NIGHTFALL have entered the studio to begin recording their new album, "Astron Black And The Thirty Tyrants", tentatively due later in the year via an as-yet-undisclosed record label. Joining frontman and lyricist Efthimis Karadimas in the band's new lineup are Evan Hensley on guitar, Stathis Kassios on keyboards and Jörg Uken on drums.

Commented the band: "Pre-production is ready to roll. The album will have 12 tracks unfold in 45 minutes approximately.

"Composed of epic melodies backed by heavy powerful drumming the way it was before trigger mania arrived in the neighbourhood will certainly be a pleasure trip in time for anyone into metal.

"Jörg, as a studio owner himself (Soundlodge studios, Germany; GOD DETHRONED, DEW-SCENTED),knows exactly what he is doing, resulting in super-efficient drum takes. This makes the process much easier on everyone else, since no stress is accumulated during this initial phase of recording!

"Jörg flew down to Greece to track his parts and do the rehearsals at a studio in Athens. Prior to that a series of guidelines, ideas, and comments had been bouncing back and forth between him and Efthimis for quite some time, so things were pretty honed and he knew exactly where we would want everything! It was really just a matter of Jörg hammering the parts out, since he was already familiar with them.

"Jörg comes from an old-school camp of drummers who love hitting hard and loud — before the days of extreme triggering, and hell, even 'extreme drumming,' for that matter! What this means for the new NIGHTFALL record is that we have a classic metal drum sound going on — beefy, thick, punchy, with force and fury!

"After just a few days of slamming both the skins and some beers alike, Jörg will have the drum parts for the record ready; the foundation for the 'Astron Black And The Thirty Tyrants'!"

NIGHTFALL's seventh full-length album, "Lyssa: Rural Gods and Astonishing Punishments" was released in 2005 through Black Lotus Records.
