Gothenburg, Sweden-based metal sextet MARIONETTE have issued the following update:

"Today you get your first taste of Enemies; we have posted 'The Swine' and 'Through Veils' onto our MySpace page.

The songs represent the new album in a good way we think: one of them is a more heavy song while the other one is more catchy. Either way, these songs take what we did on Spite to a new level. We hope you will love these songs as much as we do.

Stay tuned for more updates as they will be frequent from here on! Enemies will be released in the first week of October via Listenable Records in Europe. Fans in North America and around the world stay tuned for more info on release dates."

Enemies was recorded with a team of up-and-coming as well as established names in Swedish music including Pontus Hjelm (DEAD BY APRIL) and two-time Swedish Grammis award winning producer and songwriter Åke Parmerud.

The album was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström (IN FLAMES, AT THE GATES, BRING ME THE HORIZON) at Studio Fredman and Peter In De Betu (DIMMU BORGIR, ZONARIA) at Tailor Maid respectively in May 2009.

Tracklisting: 'The Swine', 'Silver Spoon', 'Stench Of The Herd', 'Anthropomorphism', 'Unman', 'Hatelust', 'The Slaughter', 'The Lie', 'Your Hands', 'Creatures', 'Through Veils', 'Their Knives', 'The Truth'.

The artwork for Enemies was created by frontman Axel Widén and can be viewed on the left (click to enlarge).

Lead guitarist and backing vocalist Aron Parmerud recently described Enemies as a monumental evolutionary step from the debut

album Spite.

"Unlike the recording process of Spite we recorded Enemies over a period of months, and we have had plenty of time to try new things in the studio to make the album absolutely insane. Every element that you heard on Spite has been taken to the extreme. At the same time, there is a clear evolution from Spite to Enemies. All of the live experience we have had while touring has made us more skillful as individual musicians and tighter as a band. All this will reflect itself on Enemies when it is in your hands this fall!"

Spite, was released in North America via Koch/Listenable Records in September 2008. The album was released previously in April of that year via Listenable Records across Europe. Spite was recorded, mixed and mastered with a team of up-and-coming and established producers including Simon Exner (AS YOU DROWN), Christian Silver (SONIC SYNDICATE, THE CROWN) and two time Swedish Grammis winning composer/producer Åke Parmerud.
