Swedish progressive death metal band DESCEND have issued the following update from vocalist Nima Farhadian L:

"It's 2 AM and I'm not really tired. We got home from a cruise last night. We played on Rockin' the Galaxy. An overall well spent day with beers and good company. I guess we were a little rusty since we haven't played since... 13th of March, I believe. But it was nice… and a good warm up for next weekend when we will be playing again for a bigger audience. I'm really looking forward to that gig. A small stage with (hopefully) lots of people! That's intense, and great! Yea... it will be one hell of a night!

So what's up in Descend camp? Well, as I just wrote, we playing some shows at the same time as we're looking for more. By that, we are also rehearsing the songs to get 'em even tighter, not prioritizing song writing but in time we will get into writing mode. We have started on one new song besides rehearsing the older ones, and this new piece of art sounds fucking amazing! I mean goosebumps and a broken neck! Damn!

About the record; we're trying to get along on how the album cover should look and in a Descend way - we're getting there, nice and slow. Don't get me wrong. It's not as we haven't gotten started. Just the final touches left and it's actually looking awesome. We're figuring on how we should do the booklet. Old school or not? That's the question.

Well mates… even though I'm not sleepy it's late and a new day is waiting around the corner so... Good fight and good night!”
