- OSLO, NORWAY - Norwegian melodic thrashers SUSPERIA release
their new studio album ‘Cut From Stone’ on 2nd April
in Norway and 9th April in the rest of Europe via the TABU label
(a Division of TUBA Records, Norway). Release details for the
USA are expected to be confirmed soon.
‘Cut From Stone‘ was recorded at Strand Studio,
Oslo, Norway during 2006. The mix was completed by Daniel Bergstrand
(In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork) at Dug Out Studios in Uppsala,
Sweden, whilst the production was handled by SUSPERIA and Marius
Strand.
The Oslo based five piece - vocalist Athera, bass guitarist
Memnock, drummer Tjodalv, guitarists Elvorn and Cyrus - have
assembled a collection of aggressive hard hitting metal songs
with a melodic edge. A maelstrom of vicious riffs and melody
lies at the heart of the bands powerhouse performance on the
eleven new songs that make up ‘Cut From Stone’.
The full track listing is ’More‘, ’Lackluster
Day’, ‘The Clone’, ‘Distant Memory’
‘Release’, ‘Life Deprived’, ‘Between
The Lines’, ‘Bound To Come’, ‘Under’,
‘Brother’, ‘Cut From Stone’.
The band has once again collaborated with Rune Tyvold for the
sleeve design and cover artwork, which features a hybrid of
the bands faces as its‘ main theme.
Speaking about the new album guitarist Cyrus said: “We’re
really excited about this record. I think it’s our best
album so far. I know it’s a cliché to say that,
but I genuinely believe it. Working with Daniel Bergstrand was
awesome, he taught us so much. He has given our songs a human
touch, still really heavy and powerful but warmer and more organic.
It has an analogue feel to it, which is how Daniel likes to
work.”
Having battled professional demons during the recording, the
band is once again ready to push forward now that the album
is complete. Commenting on their ups and downs, bass guitarist
Memnock said “Being in Susperia is like a marriage, except
we have five wives. There is constant bickering, disagreements
and even arguments but we have a strong bond and always make
up in the end. We all believe passionately about what we do
and always want the best, so it sometimes leads to some very
uncomfortable situations.”
Though constantly underrated and often overlooked, SUSPERIA
have delivered on the promise shown on their last album, ‘Unlimited‘.
Their new recording represents a further step forward for the
band as they continue to carve out their own niche in the metal
fraternity.
‘Cut From Stone’ is the follow up to the bands’
2004 TABU debut ‘Unlimited’, which has become their
best selling release to date. Their first two albums were released
through Nuclear Blast. SUSPERIA subsequently released the ‘Devil
May Care EP’ in 2005 which reached Number 19 on Norway's
official 'Hit List', making the band the first home-grown act
in the metal genre to achieve a Top 20 hit in the country.
Exuding the confidence of a band on the rise, SUSPERIA return
firing on all cylinders.

After announcing our short UK Tour
in October with RED HARVEST,
GRIMFIST
and SLIT,
many of you have told us how disappointed you are that
the show is not happening in Norway. Well all the bands
have listened to your requests and a show has been lined
up in Oslo on 7th October. But rather than take the
show to one of the cities larger venues, we wanted something
a little different -a venue where we are able to get
up close, sweaty and personal with our fans - so we
have chosen the recently opened Amplifier. Only a limited
number of tickets are available so advance purchase
is strongly recommended for what already looks like
being a night to remember.
Note:
Slit will not perform at this show.
