THANATOSCHIZO: New Version Of '(Un)bearable Certainty' Song Available For Free Download

"(Un)bearable Certainty", a reworked version of a song from Portuguese avant-garde maniacs THANATOSCHIZO, is available for free download at this location. The track comes off the band's fifth album, "Origami", which will be released in January via Major Label Industries. The CD was produced by Guilhermino Martins (THANATOSCHIZO guitarist) and was mastered by Mike Jussila (RAM-ZET, NIGHTWISH) at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.

"Origami" was recorded at Teatro de Vila Real (in the band's hometown, Vila Real) and the group's own Blind & Lost Studios in Santa Marta de Penaguião, Portugal. The record features guest appearances by FADOMORSE (a Portuguese group that mixes national folk music with Frank Zappa's delirious moments),BANDA DE MÚSICA DE MATEUS (a local brass and woodwind ensemble) and Ricardo Frade, a young promising percussionist. According to a press release, the CD contains "songs from previous records but with a different touch, approach and edge to them. The more harsh and heavy melodies are going to give place to a more acoustic, experimental and ethnic side of the band's enterprise."

01. Inexistence
02. (Un)Bearable Certainty
03. Nightmares Within

After ten years with a steady lineup, THANATOSCHIZO is now reduced to a quartet. Filipe Miguel (keyboards, sampling),Guilhermino Martins (guitar),Patrícia Rodrigues (vocals) and Paulo Adelino (drums, percussion) will be joined on stage by two session members, who will be revealed in due time.

Commented Guilhermino: "In the middle of the recording process and after the guitars' tracking, Eduardo [Paulo; vocals, guitars, percussion] approached us to announce that he had the need to leave the group to focus on his other artistic passion: the plastic arts. In that time, we had to ponder which was the path to follow and the natural solution was clear: Patrícia should be taking on the main vocals role from that moment on and I would take care of the backing vocals. The whole departure procedure was cordial and the friendship has remained intact. In Miguel's [Ângelo] case, he also recorded the album's bass guitar but, due to professional reasons, he is abroad and that makes it impossible for him to be present in live performances, which could be duly noted both at Teatro de Vila Real and Ermal Festival in 2009.

"The rehearsals are going smoothly and I can guarantee to our fans that the session members' choice was not taken lightly. After all, this band is an important part of our lives and we wouldn't make a careless decision."

THANATOSCHIZO's fourth album, "Zoom Code", was released in March 2008 via My Kingdom Music (Recital Records in Portugal).
