TALISMAN: New Album Details Revealed

August 3, 2006

Frontiers Records has revealed the details behind TALISMAN upcoming studio album, "7", to be released on October 20, 2006.

Recorded under the working title of "Bar" (which was dropped in the end in favor of the more immediate "7"),TALISMAN's brand new album sees once again the combination of four amazing talents flourishing to the highest levels. The experienced Swedish bass player and songwriter Marcel Jacob (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) teamed once again with U.S. vocal sensation Jeff Scott Soto (SOUL SIRKUS and now with JOURNEY),drummer Jamie Borger (TREAT) and guitarist Fredrik Åkesson (now the second axeman in ARCH ENEMY) to give birth to a sensational new recording that, according to Jacob, "might simply be our best ever."

"I am much pleased with the result," stated Marcel, "more so than I've been in a while. There are a number of tracks that came out really well and I am quite curious as to what the response will be. As a songwriter, I tried to write this time more for 'other ears' than mine, trying to perceive what others could have liked from what we have been doing before… also this time we tried to go for some ballads and this was a sort of new challenge for us."

"7" track listing:

01. Falling
02. Nowhere Fast
03. Rhyme Or Reason
04. End of the Line
05. The 1 I'm Living 4
06. On My Way
