SUPERIOR - New World Order "Is Not A Concept Album"
January 26, 2007, 17 years ago
Guitarist Bernd Basmer from German progressive metallers SUPERIOR has issued the following update about the status of the band's new album, New World Order:
"We have just finished the pre-production of the album and now it's time for the "fine tuning". All the songs are done, we only have to check here and there if everything is like we really want it. We have planned to enter the studio for the final recordings in early March. Until then there is still a lot to arrange. I will do the artwork myself (the front cover is already done) and we also have to do some photos for example. The album will contain at least 10 songs (we're not sure about the 11th one yet) and if I get it right, we will have more than an hour of music on this CD again. The songs became more and more heavy over time but there is still a good part of keyboards and piano in there too.New World Order is not a concept album but still a lot of the lyrics circle around the topics of "Ultima Ratio". Religious fanatism or the last seconds of life are just two examples of topics the songs are about. So you can imagine, that the album's overall mood is quite dark and reflects the hard times we had to wade through during the past few years since our last album.
I can say that I like the new songs pretty much because they are direct reflections of our innerst selves. And yes, I can't await to have the final album in my hands.
We have already been talking about putting a little preview on our website. Maybe just one song or so... But I can't promise that yet. If we will do it, I will tell you here when the song is online.
All the best!
Cheers,
Bernd"
