SHADE EMPIRE To Enter Studio In October
August 29, 2007Finnish metallers SHADE EMPIRE will enter the studio on October 1 to begin laying down tracks for their third album, tentatively due on March 12, 2008 via Dynamic Arts Records. Most of the recording sessions will take place at Studio 33 in Kuopio, Finland and this time the band will use a real choir to boost the sound. The vocal recordings at Perkele Studios will be overseen by producer and AJATTARA mastermind Ruoja (a.k.a. former AMORPHIS frontman Pasi Koskinen). The CD will be mixed by Sami Niittykoski.
According to a press release, SHADE EMPIRE has created a sound which cannot be easily categorized. Their music contains industrial and symphonic elements while still staying true to its death/black metal roots.
SHADE EMPIRE's follow-up to 2006's "Intoxicate O.S." (which landed on the Finnish chart at position No. 25) will contain nine songs and two videos will be produced from it. The video production will be handled in part outside Finland and will be overseen by director Ari Reinikainen.
SHADE EMPIRE's "Slitwrist Ecstasy" single — taken from the "Intoxicate O.S." CD — entered the Finnish chart at No. 3.
