In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, DRAGONFORCE guitarist Sam Totman stated about the group's new material, "It's not going to be majorly different. But hopefully the melodies will be nicer, the guitar solos will be better, the production will be better. You just try to improve in every area." Vocalist ZP Theart added, "There isn't much to change, but yet there is. The last three albums have been very much guitar-orientated, and this one probably will be as well, but I want to try to do some extra coloring in with the vocals."
ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET, the Swedish band featuring former THE CROWN vocalist Johan Lindstrand, is putting the finishing touches on its third album, "Grim Tales", due October/November via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded at the Black Lounge Studios in Avesta, Sweden with producer Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY).
Commented Lindstrand: "The mixing is almost done. I've heard 5-6 tracks and it has completely blown my mind. It's a very well-produced death metal album to say the least. It's the most massive production I've been involved with during my entire life and I've done a couple of albums throughout the years. Everyone's happy with their own work. All from songwriting to performance so we can't wait to play this for you and then finally get on the road and start with some serious action together with you."
