July 15, 2013, 10 years ago
CHARACTERS, the melodic metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden formed by Joonas Niskanen and Joni Kaartinen (ex-ONE WITHOUT), will release their debut album, Once They Bleed, on September 25th. At the beginning of April, the band announced new member Marcus Bäckström (vocals, screams ), and moved into their new studio facility in Gothenburg to begin recording their debut.
Says the band: "10 new songs have now been recorded, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the result than we are. As we are recording in Joonas own Studio JN, the recording process have not been that stressful and pressed with a tight budget and a ticking clock than we are used to. Instead we have taken the time to really enjoy the non stressful environment, and put all our energy on making a kick ass record! We also had the honor to have one of our heroes, and old tour buddy Tom Englund (Everygrety) to guest on vocals on one of the songs.
"It will be awesome to release this album, and we are really looking forward to it, and hear the response of thefans and mediawho know our origins. In about 2-3 weeks we will begin the mixing of the album. The album is produced, and will be mixed/mastered by Joonas Niskanen at Studio JN."More on Characters at Facebook.
