MARE NOSTRUM: MP3 AND DETAILS

“Hi legions of the Storm, finally it’s time for the big announcement:
the 23 of May 2008 Locomotive Records will release our long awaited fourth album, titled “Mare Nostrum”.

It was recorded at Giuseppe Orlando’s Outer Sound Studios (Necrodeath, Novembre, Klimt 1918 and many more) and mastered at Finnvox Studios by the well known engineer Mika Jussila (HIM, Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Sentenced etc.)

The entire artwork was made by Gyula Havancsak (Annihilator, Destruction, Benedictum, Elvenking, Grave Digger and more).

This is the final tracklist of the album:
1. Mare Nostrum
2. Neon Karma
3.Legacy Of The Snake
4. Emet
5. The Castaway
6. Scorn
7. And The Wind Shall Scream My Name
8. Dimension: Hate
9.Stormlord

MP3s can be found at this location: www.myspace.com/stormlordband

The journalists that had the chance to listen to it during the studio reports describe “Mare Nostrum” as a mix of our first two albums, “Supreme Art Of War” and “At The Gates Of Utopia”, played and arranged with a superior maturity and technical skill.

We just can say that we love our new songs, they sound epic like in the old times without forgetting the style of “The Gorgon Cult”.
There are a lot of new solutions that we never used before like sitar, folk parts, gloomy clean vocals, “Mediterrean” ethnic instruments and an amazing drum work. Our singer Cristiano has sealed his best performance so far, going from high pitch screaming to earthquaking growls, while the keyboard work, now up to our guitar/keyboard player Gianpaolo, is the most Epic thing we’ve ever done in ten years.
Expect a bombastic yet furious avalanche of Extreme Epic Metal, we know that some people has been waiting for this since a long time, we will not disappoint them.

Stormlord ENTER THE STUDIOS to record the new album

ENGLISH

Hi guys,
We are proud to bring some good news to all the Stormlord legions out there. The recording sessions of our fourth chapters have begun! We entered The Outer Sound Studios (Novembre, Necrodeath, Klimt 1918 etc.) one month ago together with the producer Giuseppe Orlando, as usual. We’ll keep on working for about twenty days more. We decided not to give you any news until now in order to fully understand how good this work is. This album is such a great bet for us, it’ll see Stormlord going back to an epic sound near to our first album “Supreme Art Of War”, that almost ten years ago was able to influence tons of bands still growing strong in the scene, even if the style of our recent albums will not be missing. You’ll find some surprises like an acoustic song, folk instruments and even some sitar parts, everything mixed with an extreme-epic attitude like it was back in the days, but with the nowadays production and a well developed technical skill.

Now it’s time to go back to work again but in the next week we’ll post some other news, still we’ve got some aces up our sleeves!


ITALIANO:

Hi guys,
finalmente ci siamo, le registrazioni del successore di "The Gorgon Cult" sono iniziate! Già da un mese ci troviamo presso gli Outer Sound Studios (Novembre, Necrodeath, Klimt 1918 etc.) di Roma insieme al produttore Giuseppe Orlando ed i lavori andranno avanti ancora per una ventina di giorni. Abbiamo preferito iniziare a lavorare in silenzio per poterci confrontare al meglio con la realizzazione del nuovo capitolo prima di darvi notizie in merito. Sì, perché questo album sarà una grande scommessa per noi, che segnerà un ritorno ad atmosfere più prettamente epiche, sicuramente più vicine a ‘Supreme Art Of War’, anche se non mancheranno brani accostabili alla produzione più recente. Ci saranno elementi nuovi, un brano acustico ad esempio, sonorità folk, parti di sitar, il tutto sempre in chiave epico-estrema.

Ora è tempo di tornare al lavoro, ma nelle prossime settimane vi offriremo costanti aggiornamenti sull'andamento delle cose, abbiamo grosse sorprese in serbo per voi!

Songwriting of the new album complete

ENGLISH

Hi guys,
It’s been a while since we’ve made any sort of updates about Stormlord, isn’t it? But this doesn’t mean that we spent our time just hanging around without nothing to do. In all these months we’ve been working hard and, at last, we’re ready to give you the first news about our future.

The songwriting for our fourth album is almost done, right now we’re taking care of the last details and then all the songs will be complete. What we hold in our hands it’s the most epic sounding stuff since our debut “Supreme Art Of War”, even if the references to our most recent albums will not be missed. We guess you can label it Extreme Epic Metal at its best.

In a few months we’ll begin recording the successor of “The Gorgon Cult”, we just can’t wait for you to hear it!

But the best it’s yet to come: in the next days we’ll sign a new deal that will grant an huge availability all around the world to the new Cd.

ITALIANO

Hi guys,
è passato un bel po’ di tempo dall’ultima volta che ci siamo fatti sentire, vero? Questo non vuol dire che siamo rimasti con le mani in mano. In questi lunghi mesi abbiamo impegnato tutte le nostre energie nella preparazione del nuovo disco, e finalmente siamo pronti per darvi le prime notizie su ciò che ci attende nel futuro prossimo.

Il songwriting del nostro quarto album è in dirittura d’arrivo, stiamo rifinendo gli ultimi dettagli e poi i pezzi saranno definitivamente ultimati. Ciò che abbiamo in mano è il materiale più epico dai tempi di “Supreme Art Of War”, anche se non mancheranno chiari riferimenti al nostro recente passato. Nel giro di pochi mesi entreremo in studio per dar vita al successore di “The Gorgon Cult”, siamo davvero impazienti di registrarlo e di farvelo ascoltare.

Ma le notizie non si fermano qui: nei prossimi giorni sigleremo un nuovo contratto che garantirà al disco una diffusione capillare in tutto il mondo.

E' stato un periodo lungo, caratterizzato da un lavoro silenzioso ed intenso, ma finalmente ci siamo!

Abbiamo grandi sorprese in serbo per voi, quindi restate sintonizzati.

Gli Stormlord sono pronti ad una nuova battaglia!
