"I put together some pre-production mixes for us to listen to, and it's all solid. We have over an hour of really good stuff that we really dig; there's more than enough stuff there that we can choose the best songs to go on the cd..but all of the songs are really strong. And there are two almost-done songs that we're going to try to wrap up in the next few days as well, one is shaping up to be 10 minutes plus; it's really cool stuff that we gotta use." He and Russell have started working through lyrics, and the band plans to start tracking in early March. "I think everyone will like it" he said, "it has a little bit of everything."

I hope that it is more like their previous releases.  I really didn't care all that much for Paradise Lost.

..Hi everyone. The writing process has begun for album number four. Few details are available now but as things start to gel together a little more I will return with better info. What I can say is most likely this album will be an intentional "sync to movie" presentation. Rumors have swirled around many of my influences such as Floyd and Rush about some of their older releases and the synchronicity with classic flix. Of course this has always been traced back to speculation yet no less intriguing. Thus, it is my goal to do one of my own with a modern sound and a modern movie without the shroud of secrecy that usually comes with such a production. Wish me and the cast luck, it's going to be something we've never tried before. Here's hoping for a release sometime late this year. In the meantime, PROG-ON!!!

SILENT CALL – Greed / release: 26.03.2010

 

Arising from the thriving music scene of Stockholm, Sweden, Silent Call trace their lineage all the way back to the year 1990, when founding members Daniel Ekholm and Patrik Ulfström (now Törnblom). Realizing their shared passion and strong melodic progressive influence, they began playing together in the local heavy metal band Satins ´n´ Lace (later renamed Jamback) and did so for many years. In 2006, Silent Call was joined by progressive metal drummer powerhouse Mikael Kvist (Elsesphere, Fate). “Creations from a chosen path” in 2008 was featuring spectacular guest appearances by the likes of Göran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, Brazen Abbot, Vindictiv) on vocals and Daniel Flores (Mind's Eye) on drums. Crisp guitar work, a plethora of keyboards and great lead vocals are all to be found here and should attract all progressive metal fans.

Therion
 
 
 
NEW ALBUM TITLE ANNOUNCED

Christofer Johnsson, mastermind for Swedish progressive metal experimentalists THERION, has posted the following update on the band’s official webpage:
 
“I'm happy to announce that THERION are now entering the later phases of the recording of the new album, which will be mixed at the legendary Polar Studios in Stockholm. The album title will be Sitra Ahra. 13 songs are being recorded, but it is at this moment not certain which, or if all, of those will end up on the actual record.”
 
About the upcoming Sitra Ahra material, "Expect something spectacular, even by THERION's standards!"
 
Vocalist Thomas Vikstrom (ex-CANDLEMASS) became a permanent member of the band in May 2009.  Stated Johnsson: "Thomas is, besides being a very warm and nice person, an incredibly talented singer and songwriter. And while also being a classically trained tenor, he simply fits perfectly in the band."
 
THERION's current line up includes drummer Johan Koleberg (ANIMAL, ZAN CLAN, LION'S SHARE) and bassist Nalle "Grizzly" Pahlsson (TREAT, ZAN CLAN, VINDICTIV).

Halcyon Way complete tracking for new album

 
 
Atlanta progressive metal band Halcyon Way has completed the tracking for their new CD, to be released late Spring by Nightmare Records.

 

The album was produced by Lasse Lammert (Alestorm, Svartsot) and guitarist Jon Bodan. Drums were engineered by Mike Froedge (doubleDrive, Bloodsimple, Speed X) at Open Sky Studios in Atlanta. Lammert is mixing the album at his studio, LSD-Tonstudio in Germany. The new release is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut by the band, A Manifesto For Domination. It features the debut of new vocalist Steve Braun (Ashent, Siloam), as well as a guest appearance by Pamela Moore of Queensryche fame. “We’re incredibly excited about the new material,” said guitarist Jon Bodan. “This album is a quantum leap forward for Halcyon Way – the material is both heavier and more aggressive, but it also is far catchier and more melodic at the same time than Manifesto. The guys in the band all stepped their individual games up, and the material is better for it. Lasse did a great job on the production, and we expect the mixdown and mastering process to be completed by the end of February.”

 

Halcyon Way has appeared live with many bands such as Helloween, Strapping Young Lad, TYR, Kamelot, Symphony X, Doro Pesch, Cathedral, Virgin Black, Samael, Vicious Rumors, Seven Witches, and many others. In addition they have appeared at ProgPower USA on two occasions, and at Rocklahoma 2008 and 2009.
