SKYFIRE: 'We Are Very Close To Finishing The Music For The New Album'

April 14, 2008

Swedish progressive death metallers SKYFIRE recently entered Powernest Studios to begin recording the follow-up to 2004's "Spectral", due later in the year via Florida's Pivotal Rockordings. Mixing and mastering will be handled by Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY) at Black Lounge Studios (SONIC SYNDICATE, SCAR SYMMETRY, THE ABSENCE, ZONARIA).

Commented the band: "So we are all 100% decided on the new album title E*******! Perhaps youwill be able to figure it out, but if you can't, don't worry about it because our label will be announcing it this week!

"We are very close to finishing the music for the new album and everything is coming out great. For those of you that have asked us to put new music online, we apologize, but you will have to wait until the album is completed. This is because we are trying to keep some of these new elements a surprise but also we want to make sure everything we present sounds 100% at its best.

"However, the good news is that we've decided to do something very special for you guys and videotape a few guitar lessons from Johan [Reinholdz] when he visits the studio to track leads. These guitar lessons will be based off some licks from the new record and they will be posted on YouTube around the release of the album!"

SKYFIRE bassist and founding member Martin Hanner previously stated about the upcoming CD, "Expect the traditional SKYFIRE sound, but also expect some new elements that we have never experimented with before. We also cannot wait to work with Jonas Kjellgren, who will be mixing and mastering the new record. He is one of the most talented up-and-coming producers in metal right now, and we are certain that he will take SKYFIRE's sound to the next level!"
