ALLFADER Part Ways With Guitarist; New Album Due This Fall
April 28, 2008, 16 years ago
Frontman John Erik Andersen from Norway's ALLFADER has issued the following update:
"Since the release of 'At Least We Will Die Together' in 2006 we had a period where our guitarist Per was very indifferent and not motivated to continue with the band. We didn't fire him immediately because I go back with him quite a few years and was hoping his feelings would change. They did not, at least not fast enough. So eventually I took over his guitar duties. That's why things have been a bit slow over here.At first I was apprehensive about playing guitar while singing, but it has worked out incredibly well. Also, I feel I'm more in touch with the material when we write, and the writing process itself has been smoother than ever. We also did more shows in 2007 than the years 2001-2006 combined.
So what are we up to at the moment? Well, we're currently recording our next album. The drums are done, and right now we're focusing on the guitars. We're recording eight songs for the album with a total playing time around 50 minutes. The songs sound huge and they have a bit of a different vibe (to us, at least). We're focusing on groove, dynamics and solid arrangements. I'm psyched to hear the songs come alive and I can't wait for our fans to hear this!
If we meet the necessary deadlines the album will be released by Osmose sometime in the fall...more info will come soon!
That's it for now, gotta go back to recording guitars!"
