WINDS: New Album Release Date Announced

June 15, 2007

The End Records has set a September 4 release date of for the new album from Norway's WINDS, entitled "Prominence and Demise".

The classical/progressive band — consisting of Lars E. Si, Carl August Tidemann, Jan Axel von Blomberg and Andy Winter — is excited with the upcoming release of "Prominence and Demise", the follow-up to the band's well-received 2004 opus "The Imaginary Direction of Time".

Says Winter of the album, "Our latest effort has been an undertaking so extensive that it took three years to fully complete. It's not just a musical performance in and of itself, but also an audiovisual experience, and no less than a profound journey into the universe created by these four unique minds."

The album also features the involvement of four accomplished guests:

Agnete M. Kirkevaag (MADDER MORTEM) - Soprano Voices
Lars Nedland (AGE OF SILENCE, BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD) - Alto Voices
Dan Swanö (Edge OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, SECOND SKY, ex-BLOODBATH) - Tenor Voices
Øystein Moe (ex-TRITONUS, ULVER) - Bass

"Prominence and Demise" features artwork by Travis Smith, who has been a collaborator with the band ever since the first full-length album. The album was recorded in various studios around Norway, mixed at Hipposonic in Vancouver, Canada, and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York. A final tracklisting and artwork for the album will be revealed in the coming weeks.
