December 9, 2008, 15 years ago
Long-running UK rockers MAGNUM have issued the following:
"Here is some exciting festive news for you. Magnum are now in the final stages of recording and mixing the brand new studio album.The album is to be titled Into The Valley Of The Moon King and is currently scheduled for a June 15th 2009 release on SPV.
Song titles all of which have been written by Tony Clarkin are as follows (however this is not the final running order): 'Into The Valley Of The Moon King', 'Cry To Yourself', 'Take Me To The Edge', 'Blood On Your Barbed Wire Thorns', 'Feels Like Treason', 'The Moonking', 'A Face In The Crowd', 'In My Minds Eye', 'Time To Cross That River', 'All My Bridges', 'No One Knows His Name', 'If I Ever Lose My Mind'.
With Jimmy Copley being unavailable due to recording and touring commitments as well as promoting his own solo album we welcome back the return of the one and only Mr. Harry James (THUNDER) who has 'Thundered' his way on drums for this album. Working in the studio alongside Tony who has produced the album has been Sheena Sear who has expertly engineered her first Magnum album.
Once again Rodney Matthews will be working on the album artwork and having been fortunate enough to have seen a 'work in progress' pencil sketch of what it will look like the finished sleeve will be something to look forward to. 2009 will see the band back on the road to support the release of the album and touring plans are currently being worked on. Magnum would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you all in 2009."
