SUSPERIA Celebrating 10th Anniversary With Release Of We Are The Ones Album; More Details Available
October 26, 2011, 13 years ago
Norwegian black/thrash metallers SUSPERIA is back with the much anticipated and talked about anniversary album, celebrating 10 years of album releases, available on the once in a lifetime special date of 11.11.11.
This album marks 10 years of releases, and at the same time a nice end of a circle where Mustis (ex-DIMMU BORGIR), who participated on Susperia's first demo in 1999, now returns after 12 years to once again put his magical touch on new, as well as old songs. A very fruitful cooperation which now has led to some fantastic re-recordings of some very popular, classic songs, now in complete symphonic versions. A brand new song has been recorded, with a massive orchestral theme. The contribution to this year's Eurovision Song Contest is of course featured. And to round up a celebratory album of this magnitude the right way, here it is finally, the entire infamous demo recording from 1999; Illusions Of Evil! Remastered and officially released for the very first time.
According to a press release, "Øyvind 'Mustis' Mustaparta has been a guest musician in the band for a period of six months, and the result of this junction is finally ready. Really just a huge celebration of the long-time brotherhood of the band, and an even bigger thank you to the devoted fans worldwide.
What contributes to making this album so special now is the fact that Susperia, in their 12 year existence, have had the same line-up of members, without exception. This is very rare, and quite special not only in the metal genre, but in the whole music industry in general. Especially within bands consisting of five or more members.
This will also be vocalist Athera`s first release with Susperia since the near fatal heart attack in March 2009, and the following open heart surgery. In total this is the seventh release from Susperia."
