NORTHER Bassist: 'We Are Reborn'

December 19, 2007

Bassist Jukka Koskinen of the Finnish metallers NORTHER has commented on the group's forthcoming album, "N", which will be released through Century Media Records on the following dates:

Feb. 13 - Finland
Feb. 22 - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, BeNeLux
Feb. 25 - UK, France, Denmark, Greece, Norway

The CD was recorded and produced by longtime partner Anssi Kippo (CHILDREN OF BODOM) at Astia Studios and mixed by Fredrik Nordström (DARK TRANQUILLITY, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES) at Studio Fredman in Sweden.

"Our new album, 'N', is the reflection of our true identity: it stands for North, NORTHER and never giving up!" says Koskinen.

He adds, "The new material sounds very melodic and versatile. There are songs in slow and fast mode as well as some totally new elements. Old sound meets new found power — we're reborn!

"We are more than pleased with the result and very eager to tour and play it live to all of you as soon as possible!"

According to a press release, "N" sees NORTHER "perfecting their mix of ripping riffs, aggressive vocals and epic melodies and will be premiered live at the well-known Finnish Metal Expo on February 16, 2008 in Helsinki. With the release of the massive metal anthem 'We Rock' as Finland-only single plus a new video currently in the works NORTHER are destined to induce 2008 with a metallic kick-off par excellence."
