PATRICIA THOMAS Management has issued the following:
SO MUCH FOR NOTHING, the band formed in 2007 by SARKOM front man Erik Unsgaard, has previewed a second track from the forthcoming album “Livsgnist”, which is set for release on the 16th January on MY KINGDOM MUSIC in both CD and LP version. The track, titled “Suffer in Silence”, sees several guest artists joining the band’s two-man line up, with SHINING’s Niklas Kvarforth providing additional lyrics and vocals, PANTHEON I’s Live Julianne Kostøl on the cello, TROLLFEST’s Martin Storm-Olsen on acoustic guitar, and Ingvild Sareeta Kaare, formerly of RAM-ZET on violin. “Suffer in Silence” can be heard on the band’s MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/somuchfornothing.
Aside from Unsgaard himself on guitars and vocals, the nucleus of the band includes URGEHAL drummer Uruz who joined the band in 2009 when, having written eight songs, Unsgaard realised that he was ready to take the first steps to expand the band from what was initially a solo project. Drawing inspiration from the general decadence that has seeped into society over the years, SO MUCH FOR NOTHING’S sound is a mix of brooding black metal and dark melodies, which together perfectly creates the decadent atmosphere that Unsgaard seeks to express through his music.
With his experience as a musician on the Norwegian Black and Extreme Metal scenes, Unsgaard has been able to draw on an abundance of guests from the Scandinavian metal scene to appear on “Livsgnist”. Apart from the ones previously mentioned, other guests include SHINING guitarist Peter Huss, TROLLFEST’s Dag Stiberg and Eirik Renton, URGEHAL’s Trondr Nefas, PANTHEON I’s “Aethyris” McKay (ex-ABSU) and Seidemann (1349) and pianist Kyrre Olavsrud
“Livsgnist” is SO MUCH FOR NOTHING’s first full length album, having previously released “Sublife Warranty”, a 7” split with ANGST SQVADRON, on Folter Records. A listening session for “Livsgnist” is scheduled for the 14th September at Unholy in Oslo. Full track listing for the album as follows:
1) Suicide-Syndrome
2) One Last Night
3) Perfect
4) Suffer in Silence
5) My Precious
6) Livsgnist
7) New Life – New Beginning
American melodic metallers KAMELOT will kick off their next European headlining tour in November in The Netherlands.
KAMELOT‘s recently completed North American, South American and European tours featured guest singer Fabio Lione of RHAPSODY OF FIRE following the departure of KAMELOT‘s longtime frontman, Roy Khan.
KAMELOT is now busy working on new songs and continuing to review audition videos from potential new singes.
“We are getting real close to making a choice,” states KAMELOT bassist Sean Tibbetts.
“There are some amazingly talented singers out there.
“We are taking our time on this.
“The vocals for the new album will be done last, like always. So there is no rush to make the decision now.”
KAMELOT will return to Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany later this month with Sascha Paeth producing, to begin recording its new album. The production is expected to be several months long and will include special guests, orchestra arrangements and much more.
“The new songs are really coming along great — lots of variation, melody and energy,” says Youngblood.
Lione stated in a 2011 interview that he would “would love” to join KAMELOT permanently. He said, “The KAMELOT songs are great, I really like the style and Khan is probably one of the few singers that I like. So, of course, I would consider that!!! But first let’s do the North American [tour]. Then if they will ask me, I’ll be more than happy to join the band permanently.”
He added, “Since the first time we met and played together, we had a very good feeling. Everything was easy and natural like we knew each other for years and everybody who saw the band in South America or Europe said we did great shows. I’m happy for the guys and the fans, so let’s see what the future will bring for us. Never say never.”
“Necropolis”, the new video from KAMELOT, can be seen below. The song comes off the band’s latest album, “Poetry For The Poisoned”, which sold around 6,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD was released in North America on September 14, 2010 via the group’s own label, Kamelot Media Group (KMG Recordings), and in Europe on September 10 through earMUSIC/Edel. Marquee/Avalon Records made the CD available in Japan.
Commented KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood: “With this video, we gave [director] Owe [Lingvall of Village Road Film] free rein to create something unique and visually stunning. Him and his team did a fantastic job! Here you have ‘Necropolis’!”
“Perfect Mansions (Mountains Of The Sun)”, the new video from Long Island, New York metal veterans VIRGIN STEELE, can be seen below. The song comes off the band’s “Age Of Consent” reissue, which came out in November via SPV/Steamhammer. This 2CD digipak comes with bonus tracks, five of them previously unreleased, and a massive booklet with new liner notes and previously unseen photos. It was also made available in vinyl for the first time since 1988.
Commented VIRGIN STEELE vocalist David DeFeis: “As you may or may not know, the new ‘Age Of Consent’ reissue has just come out, and we have put together the first video from it. The track we completed is ‘Perfect Mansions (Mountains Of The Sun)’.
“It is not a huge massive-budget production. It is more of a simple home-movie-type experience. It was shot by our longtime friend and engineer Ed Warrin, with one camera in several locations. I then spent several days learning how to edit.
“We have come up with something that I believe represents the attitude and the feeling of what the group is all about. It has a strong live energy about it, possibly because it was shot just a few days after we returned from our latest European performances. It is a kind of guide or overture to the VIRGIN STEELE experience, as it has all the various barbaric-romantic elements that you’ve come to know and expect from us over the years. There is a really nice ambiance about the clip. It captures a very specific mood and moment in time, and shows a nice part of our island where we live. I hope you will enjoy it.”
Swedish djentlemen VILDHJARTA recently released their full-length debut, måsstaden, to critics’ delight, winning over skeptics with their sheer heaviness and structured, progressive chaos.
