January 22, 2013, 11 years ago
Norway's IN VAIN is back and ready to release their third attack of progressive extreme metal. Ænigma is their most extreme work to date, mixed and produced by the legendary Jens Bogren (OPETH, SOILWORK, BORKNAGAR). The album will be released March 11th in Europe, March 8th in Norway and March 15th in Germany and Austria.
The album contains eight songs of In Vain’s unique trademarked sound and as usual, In Vain has brought some guests along, and Ænigma sees appearances by Lazare and Cornelius from SOLEFALD.
With Ænigma, In Vain is back in the game with their strongest album by far. Additionally, on the album the production is taken to another level, with stellar production provided by Jens Bogren. Johnar Håland comments: “We had a solid impression of the productions coming out of the Fascination Street Studio, and believed Jens was the right guy to give the music the crystal clear and powerful sound that it demands. Jens did not cut any corners and delivered a production par excellente.”
Robert Høyem designed the cover art for the album. Check it out below:
