German thrashers EXUMER have been recording and mixing their first album release in 24 years, in Dortmund, Germany.

A brief update from the band states: "We are in the final stages of mixing the new album and are planning phase of next year's live activities."

The band has recruited legendary producer, Waldemar Sorychta (GRIP INC., ENEMY OF THE SUN, VOODOOCULT, THERION, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL), to produce what will be the third Exumer album to date.

The band entered the studio in early June and remained there throughout July/August to complete the recording/mixing process. Exumer commissioned Baptiste Treton, a French born artist who resides in Vietnam, to illustrate the new album's artwork.

Vocalist Mem V. Stein comments: "We basically took off from playing live for this entire year in order to concentrate solely on writing, recording and mixing this record. Waldemar was the most logical choice for us in regards to producing this very important album. We heard what he had done with the last SODOM album and we all agreed that he is capable of preserving the spirit of a 1980s thrash band but still make them sound relevant today. That is exactly what we envision for Exumer. We became quite confident that we will achieve this objective after meeting Waldemar earlier this year and trust his intuition as a producer, songwriter and musician, as well as his ability to push Exumer's envelope when it is necessary."

Exumer began negotiating with several labels to release their upcoming CD and will announce the album's title once a deal is closed.
