SIGNUM REGIS To Enter Studio In March

February 9, 2009

Slovak-Swedish melodic metal band SIGNUM REGIS, featuring vocalist Göran Edman (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, GLORY, JOHN NORUM),will enter studio in March to record its second album. This time, it will be a concept record about a historical period which has not been covered by any other metal band yet.

The track listing for the album was determined from a selection of about 20-25 songs written by the mainman Ronnie König. Some of the tracks were written after the release of debut album, but there are also some older songs, which fit the concept well. Some songs will have a special oriental vibe as a reference to the album story line. The band will also concentrate on stepping out of the shadow of great old metal bands, not by denying their influence, but by creating a unique sound, athmosphere and original songwriting.

SIGNUM REGIS recently parted ways with drummer Ludek Struhar and replaced him with Adrian Ciel (ex-VINDEX). According to the band, "The reason [for Struhar's departure is] that Ludek is currently too busy with his non-musical activities and doesn't have enough time for drumming. There is no bad blood [between them]."

SIGNUM REGIS' debut, self-titled debut album was mastered by Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN) at Jailhouse Studios in Denmark. The CD, which came out in Japan (Avalon/Marquee Records) in July 2008, was released in the U.S. on August 26, 2008 and in Europe on August 29, 2008 via Locomotive Records.

SIGNUM REGIS has not yet announced a label home for its second album.
