Thomas Vikstrom(Therion) singing on 2nd Steel Seal

[dionysus11]

I really hope Thomas Vikstrom is singing for Therion when they come next year!!!

The Swedish vocalist Thomas Vikström (Candlemass, Brazen Abbott, Stormwind, Dark Illusion, Therion) will be singing on the upcoming second album of the Italian band Steel Seal. So, he will be the successor of DC Cooper, who appeared behind the microphone on the Steel Seal debut album “By the Power of Thunder”. Vikström is presently in Argentina, where he's going to record his vocal parts during the month of January; the remaining recordings and the final mixing will take place in the next month of March. The new album will be entitled “Redemption Denied” and released by the Italian label Underground Symphony.

So a Swede goes to Argentina to record vocals for an Italian band...

Seriously, great to hear - Thomas is a great singer, and an awesome person.

About the CD, it seems as it will take some more days to be released...

New Steel Seal album? Gotta check this out ASAP!

The million-dollar question is, why Argentina of all places? The only connection I see is that there are *many* Italians in that country - still, I don't get it.

Well, La nave de Oserberg is a well-known recording studio renowned in all Latin America and in some European countries because of the quality of its production, specially metal bands... I think Thomas Vikström already knew and appreciated their work.

and it's only 7 dollars on Amazon. I like it, the only problem I have is with the guitar players tone,and shitty solos, other than that it's good. Stormwind still around?
