ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET: New Album Title Revealed

ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET, the Swedish band featuring former THE CROWN vocalist Johan Lindstrand, is currently writing material for its fourth album, tentatively due in early 2011. Lindstrand states, "We will enter Black Lounge studio in October and together with Jonas Kjellgren we will try to create the best possible ARMY album ever. If we succeed or not is up to you to judge, but all I can say is that for the first time all songs feels like keepers.

"We have chosen nine songs out of 13 and now the pre-recordings are done. There are just some solos and lyrics left to be done but they will be in place in a couple of weeks.

"My voice seems stronger than in years. Like I've gone back ten years to record a CROWN album or something, and the rest of the gang is truly doing tremendous things.

"Jonas [Blom; guitar] has written most of the songs and we have all had the chance to put some input in them, which feels great.

"We've had so much time with the songs and to have had this long period since 'Grim Tales' to just reload the batteries has been a true blessing.

"The ones who know about us knows that we were famous for working ultra-fast and releasing album after album, year after year, but I got to tell ya, this time we needed the extra time to come up with something extra special so it's with great pleasure I announce 'The Dark Epic'... as the title of our forthcoming album.

"Some titles on the album are: 'Sandman Apocalypse', 'Stitch', 'The Pleasures Of Slavery', 'How I Love To Kill You', 'The Zombie Syndrome (Of Acid And Man)'.

"The cover art is being processed at this right moment by Björn of Killustrations so when we have it you will see it.

"Björn is a great guy and a real talent and we've talked for some time now to do the whole thing together. He has done some really cool shirt designs for us so we expect nothing but a masterpiece from him.

"No pressure, Björn.

"Those who expect General Grim to be on this one too will be very disappointed."

Jonas made his live debut with ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET at the Metal Invasion festival in Ruhstorf, Germany on September 19, 2009.

Longtime ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET guitarist Mikael Lagerblad quit the band on April 1, 2009.

ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET's third album, "Grim Tales", was released on October 24, 2008 via Massacre Records. The CD was made available as a limited-edition digipack containing a bonus DVD. It was recorded at the Black Lounge Studios in Avesta, Sweden with producer Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY).
