REDEMPTION guitarist/founder Nick van Dyk has checked in with the following update:

"Hello folks. Been a while since an update...hopefully for those interested the DVD has been a good means of tiding you over, but we will have new music out in the next few months and I can share some details at this time.

Redemption's fourth CD, Snowfall On Judgment Day, is expected to be released this summer worldwide through Inside Out. The album is currently being mixed and mastered by our good and talented friend Tommy Newton, who produced our last two CDs and whose work also includes CONCEPTION, HELLOWEEN, UFO and others, at Area 51 Studios in Celle, Germany. Artwork will once again be by our creative visual partner Travis Smith.

Musically, we have continued to grow and expand on the basic Redemption formula. We have continued to push the envelope of heaviness combined with strong melody and emotional urgency in the music and I think the collection of songs is very strong, with some very in-your-face tunes that are among the heaviest in prog metal to some quieter, more elaborate moments, with technical thrown in where it belongs.

The tentative track listing is: 'Peel', 'Walls', 'Leviathan Rising', 'Black And White World', 'Unformed', 'Keep Breathing', 'Another Day Dies', 'What Will You Say', 'Fistful Of Sand', 'Love Kills Us All / Life In One Day'

I am particular excited to report that 'Another Day Dies' is a duet between Ray Alder and a very special guest vocalist, James LaBrie of DREAM THEATER!

Once a firm release date is set, I'll provide another update. We're really looking forward to getting new music in your hands. Thanks again for your interest and support!"
