STAM1NA Begins Recording New Album

November 3, 2009

Lemi, Finland-based heavy metal act STAM1NA has entered Astia Studios in Lappeenranta, Finland to begin recording its fourth full-length album, tentatively titled "Viimeinen Atlantis", for a spring 2010 release. The CD is being produced by Miitri Aaltonen, who helmed the first two STAM1NA albums. The group states, "The production plan states that the new album will have 25% more official band members, 54% more notes, 42% thicker sounds and 61,4% better song titles. The studies also predict that the sexual life of the album listeners will increase by 38% during the first two weeks of listening the CD version of the upcoming album."

STAM1NA recently announced the addition of keyboardist Emil Lähteenmäki to the group's ranks. The band says, "Emil has played all the keyboard parts for STAM1NA's records and has been playing live with STAM1NA since 2007. "

STAM1NA's "K13V" DVD topped the Finnish music DVD chart in May 2009. The set is said to be an overview of the band's entire career thus far — from the group's inception through the release of the band's last album, "Raja". The title of the DVD refers to the fact that this summer marks the 13th year of STAM1NA's existence.

"Raja" came out in February 2008 through Sakara Records and landed at No. on the Finnish chart. The CD was recorded at Purple Fly studio in the band's hometown. Production duties were handled by Janne Joutsenniemi, whose legendary band STONE was one of the STAM1NA's biggest influences. Miitri Aaltonen, who produced the first two STAM1NA albums, mixed the CD.
