NOCTURNAL RITES Begin Recording New Album

May 18, 2005

Swedish power metallers NOCTURNAL RITES have entered the studio in their hometown of Umeå to begin recording their new album, tentatively due later in the year via Century Media Records. "Once again we have teamed up with the mighty Shep and we are confident that together we will realise our best album to date," the band write on their web site. "It feels awesome to be back in the studio again. We're bursting with creativity!" Check out the group's online studio diary at this location.

NOCTURNAL RITES' sixth studio album, "New World Messiah", was released last spring through Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2002's "Shadowland" was recorded in Umeå and was mixed and mastered at Finnvox Studio in Helsinki, Finland by T.T. Oksala (TIAMAT, APOCALYPTICA) and Minerva Pappi.
