Revengia

Swedish metallers REVENGIA have announced the addition of touring guitarist Andreas Stolt to the group’s ranks.

Commented the band: “To make REVENGIA‘s music justice live, we have decided to add an extra guitarist for live shows.

“Andreas is guitar player in the metal band NASCENCY and will be a perfect addition to the REVENGIA camp. We’re very grateful for having him with us.

“First time Andreas will be performing with REVENGIA will be at the Snowy Shaw Halloween gig, where REVENGIA has been chosen to open up for. The gig will take place on November 3 at Sparbankshallen in Varberg, Sweden.”

REVENGIA recently completed work on a new album with producer Matti Almsenius. A release date for the effort has not yet been announced.

The band previously described its new songs as “heavy, fast, doomy and melodic, just as usual in REVENGIA-land!”

REVENGIA‘s last album, “Eraser”, was released in Japan on November 21, 2007 via Soundholic Records.

The band in 2007 split with ARCH ENEMY drummer Daniel Erlandsson due to scheduling conflicts. He has since been replaced by Conny Pettersson (ANATA, TRENDKILL, ETERNAL LIES).

Swedish metallers REVENGIA entered the studio last year to begin laying down tracks for their as-yet-untitled third album. The band has now issued the following update on the progress of the CD’s recording sessions:

“Writing from the studio were we right now are doing some re-amping and vocals. As you notice, things are moving slowly. We had our share of trouble during last fall, which led to abandoning the studio facilities we spent many hours building. ‘Back to square one’ is an expression so familiar to us, it should be the name of the album (or not…). On the other hand, the results are really good. The album will show an updated REVENGIA with some really heavy songs with strong melodies. Everybody is contributing [his] outmost to make the best REVENGIA possible. We got some vocals to do, then we will shift to mixing mode.”
