Bassist Jukka comments as follows: “Our new album N is the reflection of our true identity: it stands for North, Norther and never giving up! The new material sounds very melodic and versatile. There are songs in slow and fast mode as well as some totally new elements. Old sound meets new found power - we're reborn!

We are more than pleased with the result and very eager to tour and play it live to all of you as soon as possible!

Greetings: Jukka on behalf of the Norther guys!”

Their new effort sees Norther perfecting their mix of ripping riffs, aggressive vocals and epic melodies and will be premiered live at the well-known Finnish Metal Expo on February 16th, 2008 in Helsinki.

With the release of the metal anthem 'We Rock' as a Finland-only single plus a new video currently in the works, Norther are destined to induce 2008 with a metallic kick-off par excellence.
