Vendlus Records To Release VALBORG's Glorification Of Pain In November
September 15, 2008, 16 years ago
Vendlus Records will release Glorification Of Pain, the second album from Germany’s atmospheric/death metal/rock band VALBORG, this November in North America.
The Bonn, Germany-based outfit -- featuring members of GRUENEWALD, ISLAND, WOBURN HOUSE and CENTAURUS-A - who came into the scene with 2003's Songs For A Year (Zeitgeister Music), have returned with their latest opus much wiser and with a tighter craftsmanship. As their ideas and direction may have shifted somewhat over the years, the band still maintains that edgy, atmospheric sound, locked onto their newlay shaped rock drive. The live production of Glorification Of Pain has helped enhance their delivery sufficiently.
While their first album was more blast beats and the songs were a little bit more progressive, after six months of writing and working on Glorification Of Pain, it was obvious that the band was coming into changes musicially. The band's new approach was to record everything live in the studio and that allowed them to focus more on the rock side of things -- reducing material to basics -- and allow everything to be playable.
You can hear the new track 'Chains Of Frost' at their official MySpace page.
The artwork for the album was done by Peter Boehme, a graphics artist had helped with the graphics for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
And even with the upcoming release of the new album, the band has again decided to enter the studio this winter to record Crown Of Sorrow, an album with material the band says will be "more epic and violent."
