DREAM EVIL Set U.S. Release Date For 'The Book Of Heavy Metal' - Apr. 23, 2004
DREAM EVIL — the Swedish band featuring acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (HAMMERFALL, IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, etc.), drummer Snowy Shaw (KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME), and guitarist Gus G. (MYSTIC PROPHECY, NIGHTRAGE) — have set a July 13 U.S. release date through Century Media Records for their third album, "The Book Of Heavy Metal". The European release is scheduled for May 24.
The follow-up to last year's "Evilized", "The Book Of Heavy Metal" was recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden and features special guest appearances by ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN keyboardist Mats Olausson (on the songs "Into The Moonlight", "Crusaders' Anthem", "Chosen Twice" and "Unbreakable Chain") and former HALFORD/current PAINMUSEUM guitarist "Metal" Mike Chlasciak. A single, "The First Chapter", will precede the album on April 26, featuring exclusive and unreleased material. "The Book Of Heavy Metal" will also be released in a limited-edition double-digipak version, featuring a 60-minute bonus DVD with live and behind-the-scenes (making of) footage.
Commented Gus G.: "We are all very excited about our third release, 'cause we simply believe that it’s our best effort to date. We worked very hard on the new album, and I think it sums up the DREAM EVIL sound better than ever! I hope we will make it to the U.S. sometime soon and play for all u crazy metalheads!!!"
DREAM EVIL recently completed work on a "bombastic" video for the song "The Book Of Heavy Metal" with Swedish director Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, WITHIN TEMPTATION, PASSENGER).
