HATESPHERE: "At Last, The New CD Is Done"
February 1, 2007, 17 years ago
Danish death metallers HATESPHERE have issued the following update on their forthcoming album, Serpent Smiles And Killer Eyes, due for release in Europe on April 30th, April 27th in Germany (North American/Japanese release dates to follow):
"At last the new CD is done! We had the final day of mixing with Tue Madsen today, and it turned out amazing!We decided to focus more on getting a heavy crunchy sound this time, that would suit the somewhat slower songs on this album, and the guitars are crushing!!! As mentioned earlier, Serpent Smiles And Killer Eyes has taken us in a slightly differnt direction - off course still with the main purpose of making your ears bleed haha, but this time we went for a more mid tempo approach to finetune our sonic attack.
This Saturday we performed the entire album from start to end for an exclusive crowd of European and English journalists + 200 dedicated fans, and judging from the crowd response, we did something right with this album, ha ha. Check out some pictures from the concert here.
It felt like playing our first ever concert again, judging from the shaking hands and the frequent toilet visits before going on stage - pretty funny to experience that kind of nerves again after years of playing live with the same great musicians, but it helps to keep the intensity and exitement up for all of us, and it was a blast on stage! We only had the chance to rehearse together 4 times, and none of that was with Jacob as he was still recording the vocals. So it was litterally the first time for all of us to hear the songs with vocals on stage. A big thank you and "let's Satan" to all who came out for this gig."
