Dragonland To Enter Studio In May

Swedish symphonic power metallers DRAGONLAND will enter Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark on March 31 to begin recording their fifth album for an August release via Germany’s AFM Records. Several different studios will be used to track this utterly ambitious album, with Jacob Hansen set to add his magic touch to the mix. Twelve songs will be recorded during the sessions, and the music itself is based on a deep and emotional story, picking up where the band’s second album, “Holy War”, left off nine years ago.

Commented DRAGONLAND guitarist Olof Mörck: “After five years of doing concepts, writing lyrics and composing, we are seeing the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel!

“After ‘Astronomy’, we knew we needed to explore our music further not to risk becoming a band that releases music every year cast in the same mold, so the idea from the beginning was: what would it be like with a metal album based in fantasy that respects the literary genre, that actually tries to be mature and that enriches said fantasy world with inspiration from millenias of human mythology?

“To make a neoclassical album filled with overly bombastic clichés of steel clad warriors was out of the question — instead we explored the themes and sounds around various fantasy movies, new and old, and also countless computer RPG soundtracks to infuse the musical aspect with a genuine fantasy feel, and as previously stated, heaps and stacks of tomes on every mythological tale from Gilgamesh to the Aeneid provided a genuine and credible backdrop to the story.

“The album is genuinely a concept album in every aspect, and we will collaborate with some truly gifted artists who are experts in this genre to bring our world to life visually — more on that soon. Prepare yourself to be engulfed in a world of enchanting phantasy and songs of swirling magic later this year!”

Songtitles set to appear on the new album incude “The Tempest”, “A Stranger I Know”, “The Shadow Of The Mithril Mountains” and “A Thousand Towers White”.

TORNADO (formerly NEMESIS DIVINA), the American, Dutch and Finnish metal band featuring members of AMORAL and FUELBLOODED, is preparing to enter Abyss Studio in Pärlby, Sweden under the watchful eye of Swedish producer and HYPOCRISY/PAIN mainman Peter Tägtgren to record its debut album, “Amsterdamn, Hellsinki”, for release via the French label Listenable Records. The group will spend two weeks in the studio recording the following 13 tracks of “fist-pumpin’, booty-shakin, sleazy thrash for a new generation of pimps and hos”:

* A Bold Statement
* Hate Worldwide
* 3 Of 8
* Massive Extinction Impact
* Blue
* Ignorance Is Thy Name
* Eugenics
* Priesthood Pedophilia
* Noora
* Diva
* Tunisia Uprising
* Rise Disciples, Rise
* No Mercy (L.A. GUNS cover)

Commented singer Superstar Joey Severance: “We are all very excited to be going over to Peter’s spot and doing this album. For me personally, this is a dream come true and as a metal fan. I’m excited to be walking in the footsteps of my musical heroes. We’ve been talking the talk for a long time, now it’s time to walk the walk so to speak…”

While deeply rooted in ’80s thrash, TORNADO is “not part of any thrash revivals or movements,” according to a press release. “With an emphasis on writing songs that are to the point and catchy, TORNADO brings back the essence of what thrash is all about (with an added sleazy edge).”

TORNADO is:

Superstar Joey Severance – Vocals
Michiel Rutten (FUELBLOODED) – Guitar
Ben Varon (AMORAL) – Guitar
Pekka Johansson (AMORAL) – Bass
Juhana “Starvin Marvin” Karlsson (AMORAL, CRYSTAL BLAZE) – Drums
