 Topic: Exlibris–new single ft Evergrey’s Tom Englund!Posted: May 13 2014 at 12:45 |
|
Exlibris, one of
the best heavy metal bands from Poland, is currently working on the new material
for their third studio album. The band plan to enter ZED Studio in August to
release the abum in late Autumn release via Metal Mind Productions.
Exlibris: “We are still working
on some of the songs but so far it sound pretty awesome! Fans should expect a
familiar emphasis on good melodies as well as some new stuff. How about
that?“
“Humagination”, is their last
studio album from 2013. Combining the energy of traditional heavy metal and hard
rock with melodic hooks and complex arrangements since the end of 2003, Exlibris
stands for rockin' guitars, distinct rhythms, epic orchestrations and powerful
lead vocals. The band’s sophomore release “Humagination” features 12 songs with
fresh melodic heavy metal ideas, 3 guest appearances, stellar production,
world-class vocals and catchy melodies – it’s an ideal album that should appeal
to fans of Dream Theater, Iron Maiden and Masterplan... The album was recorded
in March 2013 and it was produced by Mariusz Konik and Robert Wawro from HZ
Studio. The mix and mastering was done by Tomasz Zalewski in ZED
Studio.

The band was formed in late 2003 by
Daniel Lechmański and Piotr Sikora. Their first studio album “Skyward” from
2006 received quite good reviews. Over the next few years, the bands struggled
with line-up changes within the rhythm section, but continued to create music
and to play occasional concerts. In the meantime, Daniel Lechmański joined Chain
Reaction and recorded three albums with them. Also, Piotr Sikora is a member of
Leash Eye since 2009. In January 2012 the band started to record their second
album - "Humagination". During the recording time, it turned out that their
vocalist Marcin will not be able to complete the recordings. Krzysztof
Sokołowski aka Mistress of the Night became their new frontman. As a result,
the recordings ended in early 2013. Their next yet untitled record is scheduled
for release in late Autumn 2014.

The recording sessions for the new album of the heavy metal
band Exlibris are in progress. The release of
"Aftereal", as the album will be called, is planned for
late Autumn. The band are currently recording the guitar parts.
The drum and, partly, keyboard tracks have already been recorded. The recording
sessions should be finished by mid September. At THIS
link, you can check out some photos from the studio.
The title "Aftereal" reflects the album's atmosphere and
lyrics, and there was complete agreement in the band about that choice. The
keyboard player Piotr Sikora comments, "Just like it was with
'Humagination', there's a certain leitmotif in the lyrics, which refers to the
album's title. They describe realities other than our own - from nightmares,
through some kind of fantasy, to the so-called netherworld."
The album is being recorded at ZED studio. The vocal parts
will be recorded at HZ Studio, where the previous Exlibris album "Humagination"
was recorded. The album's mix and mastering will be handled by Tomek Zalewski.
The band's previous album was released last Autumn and it was a big success. It
featured melodic heavy metal music on the international level and it was the
band's second release.
More details to be revealed soon.

"Aftereal", the new album by
Exlibris, will have its premiere in late Autumn! The band are
drawing toward the end of their work at the studio. All the instruments have
already been recorded and only the vocal parts are yet to be finished. The band
are sure to surprise their fans this time around, also because of the many
outstanding guest musicians featured on the album.
While working on "Aftereal", the band kept coming up with
ideas for particular guest appearances. In the end, the line-up became quite
impressive: Piotr "Dziki" Chancewicz (Wild Pig, Mech) and Piotr Rutkowski from
Corruption played guitar solos. Misiek comments: “It was Dani who thought of
Piotrek ‘Rutkoś’ Rutkowski, known from, among other bands, Corruption and
Spirit, and that was a bullseye. This incredibly talented young man recorded a
beautiful guitar solo - the longest one on ‘Aftereal’. The album's intro, in
turn, was recorded by Michał Staszkun, known from his cooperation with Hate.
There's one more guest performer that will appear on the album. The details
regarding that guest appearance, however, are for now shrouded in mystery. We
only know he's a well known artist and that he contributed his vocal
talent”. Exlibris' drummer adds: “We're extremely satisfied about that
lineup, as every single guest performer did his absolute best, and every one of
them did it in their own style, making the album even more diversified. I
shudder at the thought of who we might be inviting on our next
album.”
 The recordings took place at ZED Studio. The vocal parts are
being recorded at HZ Studio, where the band's previous album "Humagination" was
recorded. The mix and mastering are handled by Tomek Zalewski. The previous
Exlibris album, the second one in its discography, was released last Autumn to a
great success, featuring melodic death metal music on the international
level.
At this link, you can check out some photos from the studio.

The band are sure to surprise their fans this time around,
also because of the many outstanding guest musicians featured on the album,
Evergrey’s Tom Englund being one of them!
Piotr Sikora comments: “You could say that working on
‘Aftereal’ was a constant test to us. We began by writing the music in record
time and, once we did it, we kept checking what else we could accomplish. One of
such tests was inviting well known artists from Polish and international music
scene to perform on the album. Maybe it's not something you can hear from the
very moment you play the album but Evergrey has been inspiring us, as musicians,
ever since we founded Exlibris. We wrote a song which we thought Tom Englund's
voice would fit perfectly, so he was the first person we thought we should
invite... and he immediately accepted it! It's a wonderful feeling to hear your
own song performed by a man that's been your musical hero for literally half of
your life.”
In the end, the line-up became quite impressive – apart from
Tom Englund, the album also features: Piotr "Dziki" Chancewicz (Wild Pig, Mech),
Piotr Rutkowski (Corruption), who played guitar solos, and Michał Staszkun,
known from his cooperation with Hate, who recorded the album's intro. Exlibris's
drummer comments: “We're extremely satisfied about that lineup, as every
single guest performer did his absolute best, and every one of them did it in
