Metal news

Norwegian metallers Octavia Sperati have issued the following update:

"Dear all.

At our last band meeting, Octavia Sperati decided to put band activities aside/take a break. We have reached a point where we have decided to put more time into other projects both within music, studies and families among other things for a while. We will all continue playing music, but we will take a break from the normal "Octavia life". If there are any news from any of us, we will of course let you know as soon as possible.

We are all looking forward to playing the lovely outdoor festival Lost Weekend near our headquarters Bergen on Friday, August 1st and will take the break after that. We are sorry to say that we will have to cancel the Dames Of Darkness festival in Birmingham in September.

Hope you all have a great great summer!
Cheers.
Octavia Sperati."

We are proud to announce that Octavia Sperati's new album entitled "Grace Submerged" will be released via Candlelight Records in May. There will be two release dates; one to coincide with the band's release party in Bergen on the 16th of May (actual Norwegian release date is the 10th of May), and for the rest of Europe it is May 21st. The Japanese and North American dates are still to be confirmed.

The album will contain the following tracks:

Provenance of hate
Deprivation
Guilty am I
Don't believe a word
As fire swept clean the earth
Moonlit
Going north
...and then the world froze
The final rest
Submerged
