Bassist Jukka comments as follows: “The release of N is getting closer. I played the album to some people and the feedback has been very good. Everyone said that Norther sounds so much better than ever before so hopefully it will kick major ass for you our fans! We thought to put one new song on our MySpace so all of you can finally have first impression of it! The track is called 'We Rock'. Hope you're gonna like it! We've been rehearsing the new songs and we're very excited to play these tracks for you!

We'll be playing at the Finnish Metal Expo on February 16th, 2008 in Helsinki so if you have the time pop by!

We’re also pleased to announce that we’re gonna do a full European tour in March/April 2008 with our label mates TURISAS. The first two weeks cover the UK and central Europe will follow afterwards. It’s great to get back on the road and with Turisas we’ll form an excellent & diverse team for the tour! Be there or be lame!

The new Norther video also for the mind blowing song 'We Rock' has also been finished with Helsinki-based production team Tunne Productions. The video will be out for public by the end of January, so stay tuned!"

N was recorded and produced by long time partner Anssi Kippo (CHILDREN OF BODOM) at Astia Studios, mixed by Fredrik Nordström (DARK TRANQUILLITY, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES) at Studio Fredman in Sweden and mastered at Cutting Room Studios.

The tracklisting for N is as follows: 'My Antichrist', 'Frozen Angel', 'Down', 'To Hell', 'Savior', 'Black Gold', 'We Rock', 'Always & Never', 'Tell Me Why', 'If You Go', 'Self-Righteous Fuck', 'Forever And Ever'.
