Threat Signal - Enter The Studio This Week
Canadian metallers Threat Signal will enter the studio this weekend to begin recording their as-yet-untitled third album with producer Chriss "Zeuss" Harris.
The band issued the following statement: "On June 12th we are driving our asses out to Massachusetts to begin tracking our 3rd release with metal mastermind Zeuss. He has worked on many killer albums from bands such as Chimaira, Hatebreed, All That Remains, The Acacia Strain, Born Of Osiris, Shadows Fall, and many more... We are extremely excited to have Zeuss on board producing and mixing our new record!
So what can you expect from the new Threat Signal record? Well... basically we said let's write the heaviest fuckin record we possibly can. We've been experimenting with 7 string guitars and drop tunings since the early days, so we have decided to write almost the whole new record that way. We are headed back to the Under Reprisal days but with bigger balls.'

Svartsot - New Album Details Revealed
Maledictus Eris, the new upcoming album of Danish folk metal band Svartsot will be released in July/August.
The band released the following statement: "We're proud to be able to release the cover artwork and tracklist for the third Svartsot album; Maledictus Eris. As previously announced, the album recounts the tale of the Black Death's incursion into Danish history from 1349 to 1350. The album begins the tale from just prior to the plague's arrival through to when the first bout relinquished its grasp, and focuses on the way the epidemic affected the population - from victim to survivor. We have taken more inspiration from medieval music than on previous albums, and the feel of the album in general has taken a darker and more emotive turn on this recording.
We are extremely satisfied with the way this album has turned out and hope that the fans - both old and new - will take kindly to it. But at the same time, we should also make clear that this album is somewhat different to its predecessors, and not for the worse as far as we're concerned.
We have a series of live dates in Denmark lined up for after the release, and hope to be able to add more European dates to the list soon. News on dates and leading up to the release will be posted as soon as we have it."
Album Release Dates:
27.07.2011 Spain, Finland, Sweden
29.07.2011 Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg
01.08.2011 Rest Of Europe
09.08.2011 USA, Canada
Maledictus Eris tracklist:
01. Staden...
02. Gud Giv Det Varer Ved!
03. Dødedansen
04. Farsoten Kom
05. Holdt Ned Af En Tjørn
06. Den Forgængelige Tro
07. Om Jeg Lever Kveg
08. Kunsten At Dø
09. Den Nidske Gud
10. Spigrene
11. ...Og Landet Ligger Så Øde Hen
