Swedish melodic death metallers ENGEL have revealed a teaser video of the band’s new singer, who will debut at Gothenburg Sound Festival on next Friday, January 4th. Check out the teaser below.
On November 2012 ENGEL split ways with the vocalist Magnus Klavborn, and commented: “We are sad to say that Magnus will not be a member of ENGEL anymore. We had a really good run and we will miss him very much. There is no hard feelings between ENGEL and Magnus and we parted ways as friends, carrying with us a lot of good times and awesome memories.”
Colorado metal act, Allegaeon, performed at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest in Fort Collins, CO on August 11th. They stand as the first metal band to ever be asked to perform at the annual festival, a fact which was highlighted on the fest’s website: http://www.bohemiannights.org/allegaeon-first-metal-band-at-bohemian-nights/. Allegaeon made the most of their day by filming a video for the song A Path Disclosed from their most recent album, Formshifter. A teaser for the video, which also includes behind the scenes footage, can be seen on the band’s youtube channel:
Guitarist Ryan Glisan comments;“We are beyond honored to be the first metal band that has ever been asked to play New West Fest and hope that it opens the doors to have more in the future, the show was a blast and the crowd was amazing, it was a treat. Also, we shot some footage for an upcoming live style music video, here’s a little teaser that pretty much sums up what it’s like to hang out with Allegaeon for a day.”
Allegaeon’s second full-length album, Formshifter, has significantly out-performed its predecessor and debuted at #29 on the Billboard New Artist Chart and #99 on the Top Hard Music Albums! This is a huge achievement for the band as they continue to carve out their rightful place within the metal community. Formshifter has been incredibly well received by press worldwide; the UK’s Kerrang Magazine raves in a 4/5 review: “It’s not just the magnificently blended barrage of monstrous riffs and insidious hooks. Nor is it solely due to the fact it sounds like the quartet are trying to bring the sky crashing down on your head. And it’s not just the wealth of complex leads that will make many guitarists petulantly sulk in the corner after a single exposure. It’s all of those elements – combined with great songwriting that makes the record truly special.”
“Formshifter” Billboard chart positions:
#29 Billboard New Artist Chart
#88 Billboard Top Independent Albums
#99 Billboard Top Hard Music Albums
