Singer Marcela Bovio of Dutch/Mexican symphonic/progressive metallers STREAM OF PASSION has uploaded video footage of the vocal-recording sessions for the band's new album. Check it out below.STREAM OF PASSION recently raised more than 43,000 euros in a crowdfunding campaign for its forthcoming CD, tentatively due later in the year.STREAM OF PASSION performed three new songs "Earthquake", "The Curse" and "Secrets" during its September 27, 2013 concert at Gigant in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. Fan-filmed video footage can be seen below.The band's last CD, "Darker Days", was released in North America in July 2011 via Napalm Records. The effort was recorded at Sandlane Recording Facilities in Rijen, Holland.In an interview with Sea Of Tranquility, Marcela Bovio stated about "Darker Days", "The drive behind this album has to expand our musical horizons and incorporate new influences and ideas into our writing. We also wanted to go for a more organic sound; instead of layering all instruments on top of each other we tried to give each instrument its own moment in the songs. So make the heavy, guitar riff parts entirely about the guitars; and on the soft parts let the piano, the strings and the vocals take over."She added, "I think we made a huge step from 'Embrace The Storm' to 'The Flame Within'. On 'Embrace The Storm', Arjen Lucassen (who was still in the band back then) had the absolute lead on songwriting, with me doing the vocal lines and melodies. For 'The Flame Within', I had to face the challenge of writing songs from scratch, instead of writing on top of what someone else already had done; so in a lot of ways our second album was also our first. Now with 'Darker Days', we've taken our 'real' second step as a band. And I think it was clear from the start that our goal was to keep refining our sound, to keep incorporating unique qualities to the music."Studio footage:
