THE REPUBLIC OF DESIRE Completes Work On Debut Album

September 21, 2006

Finnish industrial metal band THE REPUBLIC OF DESIRE has completed work on its debut album, entitled "REALpolitik". The CD was self-produced by the band at Machinerie 28 Studio and was mixed at Astia Studio by Anssi Kippo (CHILDREN OF BODOM, IMPALED NAZARENE). Mastering duties were handled at Sonichouse TM with Teemu Myyrylainen.

"The recording was quite a hard process, even by our standards," said frontman Kalle Lindberg of the recording sessions. "Almost everything except the drums and synths was recorded at least twice and I must say that it was some hard work to make the record from some production demos to a finished album in just a month and a half while I was working in a construction site."

When asked about the band's motivation to create the music that they do, Kalle had this to say: "we went in a noisier and more distorted direction with the synthetic material compared to the 'kvber' E.P. The reason for that was the fact that we got really fed up with the current EBM/'popular industrial' stuff, with all the future pop- and trance-influenced shit. Well, originally we got really frustrated with industrial metal ('cos it sucked back then and still does for the most part); as a result to that we started incorporating synthetic stuff to our music, to do it right."

The artwork for the album is being created by Finnish artist Timo Honkanen of BATTLELORE fame. A late 2006/early 2007 release via Ammonite Industries is expected. In the meantime an audio sample can be heard at this location.
