Mike Andersson, vocalist for Swedish metallers CLOUDSCAPE, was recently interviewed by Anders Sandwall of Metal-Rules.com. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: I know you’re preparing to enter the studio to record your third album, when is it due to be released and what can we expect music-wise of the album?

A: "There isn’t a release date yet, but as far as I know it will be released sometime during the period February to April 2008. The new songs will show both a heavier side of Cloudscape since there will be a few songs that are among the heaviest we’ve done to date and also a more atmospheric and dynamic side of Cloudscape with softer parts. I think that we will release an album that will show more angles in our music without leaving the basic style we have established ourselves in with our two previous albums. You will definitely get a genuine Cloudscape album but, with more of everything ;)."

Q: Are all of the material ready to record and can you reveal any song titles?

A: "All songs are completely finished as “pre-productions” and they are ready to record in the studio. A few song titles will be 'Mind Diary', 'Alagoas', 'Cloak & Daggers', 'One Silent Moment', etc ;)"

Q: Has the album got any working name? Or have you set the title already?

A: "We have set the title but, we haven’t made it official yet so, keep your eyes open in the official Cloudscape forum (http://forum.cloudscape.se) the next coming weeks in September and October because, there you will be able to follow and discuss the recording process with daily studio reports from us in the band. Sometime during the recording process we will announce the new album title ;)."
