December 11, 2008, 15 years ago
As previously reported, Anglo-Chilean thrash masters CRIMINAL have set White Hell as the title of their upcoming sixth studio album, which will be released on February 27th, 2009 by Massacre Records. The album is currently being recorded at bassist Dan Biggin's home studio.
White Hell will be released in a limited edition including a bonus DVD, the contents of which will be announced shortly. A new track titled 'The Infidel' can be heard on the band's MySpace page in demo version.
"'White Hell' could be many things," vocalist/guitarist Anton Reisenegger commented recently on the title, "a hell of cocaine abuse, or a hell of racism and intolerance, or driving through Europe in the middle of winter in a van with no heating -- which we actually did on the Six Feet Under tour! The [original concept is about] someone waking up in an emergency room, not knowing how or why they got there -- which is actually based on a real-life experience -- and this is what we are going to try and depict on the album cover in a very nightmarish way. Our long-time cover designer Claudio Bergamin has already gone to work on the cover, and I expect it to be killer as always!"In other news, Criminal have been confirmed to headline the Red Stage at next year's Cumbre del Rock Chileno (Summit of Chilean Rock) festival. The event, which will be held on Sunday, January 11th, 2009 at Club Hípico in Santiago de Chile, features the country's most successful exponents of each subgenre within rock music, and is expected to draw over 50,000 music fans. Also appearing on the Rockaxis-sponsored Red Stage will be DORSO, WEICHAFE, ALEJANDRO SILVA and many more.
