Bassist Mikael Mendin had the following to say regarding tomorrow’s Metaltown performance as well as future touring plans:
"We are quite excited to have the opportunity to play tomorrow at Metaltown. We hope that everyone who is ready to rock out will join us at 17:20 (5:20 PM) at the Close-Up Stage for plenty of moshing and headbanging. We have tons of other plans for the summer and fall including some festivals in Sweden and lots of touring! We cannot reveal our plans at the moment, but when the time comes we will spread the news like wildfire! Until then, stay tuned and make sure to check out Spite. We look forward to hearing what everyone in Europe thinks of us this fall! See you in the moshpit!"Spite, the debut album from Marionette was released in April through France’s Listenable Records in Europe. A North America release date will be announced soon.
Spite was recorded with a team of up-and-coming and established producers in the Swedish scene, including Simon Exner (ETHEREAL) and two-time Swedish Grammy award winner Åke Parmerud in Gothenburg and Borås, Sweden. Spite was mixed and mastered by Christian Silver at Studio Mega (SONIC SYNDICATE, BY NIGHT, THE CROWN) in Varberg, Sweden.
Six of the twelve songs from Spite are available on Marionette’s MySpace and iLike pages.
