VICIOUS ART: New Album Is 'By Far The Best Stuff We Have Written And Recorded'

June 29, 2007

VICIOUS ART, the Swedish death/thrash metal band featuring former DARK FUNERAL members Matias Mäkelä and Robert Lundin, along with Jörgen Sandström (THE PROJECT HATE, ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE) on bass, has issued the following update:

"We are really close to finishing the second full-length album. We have been recording and mixing it the last couple of weeks in the Offbeat studio [in Jakobsberg, Sweden]. It will be mastered in Denmark by Jacob Hansen. We are more than satisfied with the result, it is by far the best stuff we have written and recorded... so far! Some of the titles are: 'Tombstone Grind', 'The Paulina Paintings - The Paw', 'Family Flesh', 'Murder', 'We're Both Into Killing Me', 'Chain Hooks Falling'... just to name a few. We have recorded 12 songs in total, and 11 of them will be on the album, which is still missing a title, by the way, and will be released through Mighty Music Records in October/November 2007!! The album artwork is being made as well. We have hired Kristian Karlberg once again to do it. He showed up in the studio last Tuesday with some killer ideas and to have a listen to the album. We hope to reveal some of the artwork and some music to you soon!! We are also in progress of booking shows around the album release. If you have any contacts or interest in booking the band, contact us!!"
