Spanish melodic death metallers JOTNAR have checked in with the following update:
“It’s been a little while since our last update… We had plans to enter in studio at the beginning of the year but sadly we had to postpone it due to a shoulder surgery of our guitar Ben Melero. He is recovering from this “bitch” as fast as he can but as he cannot play guitar at this moment, we don’t have a date for the studio “assault” yet.
In the meantime, we are getting all the songs polished and ready to enter in studio to record what will be a Massive album !!! We’ve got a HUGE amount of songs where we are making a selection to only offer you the best !!! NO FILLERS… just JOTNAR !!!
But it’s not all bad news… At the end of this week we will announce the first INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL for this year… Stay tuned ’cause it will be MASSIVE !!!”
