The Element has entered the studio to record its new album titled From Sand - Part II . The new concept album concludes the story that started on band's latest release From Sand - Part I. Once again, The Element's vocals/guitars Rafael Macedo will be in charge of the engineering and producing. Rafael Macedo started working with the band's drummer Marco Bicca a week ago and he has laid down five tracks so far.

The band is talking with a couple of big names to do the final mix/master of the album. This will be announced pretty soon along with the official track list, artwork and label.

Rafael Macedo said: "Even though most of the songs were written with the previous album, since it is a concept album divided in part I and II, a lot has changed. Marco is absolutely killing on the drums! The musicianship that we developed in the last couple of years from playing live and jamming as a band can clearly be heard into the new music. The heavy songs are becoming heavier and in the other hand, the more progressive ones are becoming even more elaborated, which allows us to bring the music to a whole new level. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be surprise by this album. We couldn't be happier about it!"

Marco Bicca said: "I am really happy with the results we had with the first five songs that I recorded with the Rafael's help. He is not only a great composer but also an awesome engineer and that helps a lot! Trust me, recording drums is a long and difficult process and having someone that knows how it works is a blessing. I am excited for you guys because you have no idea what is coming your way! Stay tuned for more updates!"
