Torchbearer - New album out soon (teaser)

Well, thank you!

This album was a completely new challenge compared to earlier productions. Mainly because the tempos and dynamics are INSANE!
That in combination with a lot of instrumentation like synths, quadrupled melody guitars and quadrupled rhythm guitars happening at the same time, this was not an easy one to complete and took about 2 years on and off.

Pär redid the vocals 2-3 times on the whole album because every time he finished the lot, his voice had gone into this new territory of rawness. It got to the point where he literally couldn't produce normal speech in 2-3 days following the last vocal session because his throat got so scarred from the battle.
 
The Atoma record is a bit on hold I believe. It's because there's no record label yet that has an idea of what to do with it. It's such a huge mixture of different styles and aesthetics that it's just a big challenge for anyone to label and market. At the moment I don't know Ehsan's plan and it's not my place to speculate about it either.

Only news I do have though is that we're starting production on the sophomore album sometime this fall.

Sounds like someone needs to learn how to properly sing/scream.
