April 9, 2010, 14 years ago
EMBASSY OF SILENCE, Finnish band playing atmospheric rock/metal are releasing their debut album Euphorialight on May 12th through the Swedish label, Supernova Records. Supernova is the new sublabel of Bonnier Amigo Music Group, concentrating on Rock- and metal genres. The publisher for the digital single is IODA Nordic, which is the global distributor for Supernova Records. The single 'Soul-Broken' will be released in digital form on April 12th, and samples from the album can be heard at the band’s MySpace page.
According to a press release, Euphorialight is a "many-splendored album, with the dark gloominess of KATATONIA and ANATHEMA, or the progressive touches of PINK FLOYD and OPETH. The common denominator in the songs are Ines’ spine-chillingly beautiful voice and the catchy melodies of the choruses."
The album features several guest artists, such as Aapo Romu, the cellist of VANGUARD, and in the back-up vocals, Andy Koski Semmens (EREPIA, 0 X I? S T; ex-ESOTERIC, ex-PANTHEIST), Juhani Paloma?ki (COLOSSEUM) and Teppo Tirkkonen (THE PURIFICATION). Euphorialight was recorded at D-Studios, Finland with Jarno Ha?nninen, and mastered at Sweden’s Cutting Room with Bjo?rn Engelmann.
