CANIS DIRUS Recording New Album; Title Revealed
April 19, 2011, 13 years ago
Minnesota black metal band CANIS DIRUS have revealed that they are recording the follow-up to their Moribund Records debut album, A Somber Wind From A Distant Shore.
Entitled Anden Om Norr - which loosely translates, from Swedish to English, as "The Spirit From The North" - the duo's second album for Moribun will again be recorded at the band's own Harsh Winter Studios and will be mastered by AGALLOCH's Jason Walton.
Additionally, one of the tracks will feature Claudio Alcara of FROSTMOON ECLIPSE on guitar.
Multi-instrumentalist TMP reveals more about Canus Dirus' forthcoming Anden Om Norr: "Once again, we will take our inspiration from our beautiful nature / surroundings in northern Minnesota. As with the last album, A Somber Wind From A Distant Shore, the overall feel / atmosphere of the record will take on a more 'depressing / melancholy' view of how human scum continously treats nature with contempt and disrespect. Unfortunately, we recently had a flood in the studio, which did some damage to some equipment, and also in the processs we lost some of the stuff we already had recorded. I have since 're-built' the studio and added some new equipment, which will definitely contribute to a much better production this time around."
Canus Dirus is completed by vocalist RH. Tentative release date for Anden Om Norr will likely be during the fall of this year.
