ENGEL Ink Deal With Steamhammer/SPV
May 14, 2007, 17 years ago
Gothenburg-based ENGEL have inked a deal with Steamhammer/SPV. Founded by riff-lord Niclas Engelin (formerly of GARDENIAN, IN FLAMES, PASSENGER) in 2005, he quickly added vocalist Mangan Klavborn, guitarist Marcus Sunesson (formerly of THE CROWN) and drummer Mojjo (formerly of LORD BELIAL, RUNEMAGICK). In 2006 bassist Michael Håkansson (formerly of EVERGREY) joined Engel and the band was complete.
Anders Fridén (singer of In Flames) helped his old friend Niclas (both played together in Passenger) record demos and is now assisting in the production of the debut Engel album at Dug Out Studios in Uppsala with Daniel Bergstrand (producer of In Flames, MESHUGGAH).
"Finishing and unleashing this beast upon the world is not only a dream come true for us, but the result of genuine dedication. You will hear it, see it and believe it. We are extremely satisfied with having Steamhammer/SPV on our side in this, as we have no other goal in sight than global domination. " says Engel.
Engel's debut will be out in fall.
