THY MAJESTIE To Release New Album Via Scarlet Records This Year
May 28, 2012, 12 years ago
Italian symphonic power metal act THY MAJESTIE will release their long-waited fifth album, ShiHuangDi, via Scarlet Records later this year.
The album, which marks the first Thy Majestie release since 2009?s Dawn, was recorded at Wreck Studios in Palermo, Italy, mixed by Giuseppe Orlando (NOVEMBRE) at Outer Sound Studios in Rome, Italy and mastered by Mika Jussila (NIGHTWISH, SONATA ARCTICA, STRATOVARIUS) at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
Another epic conceptual record, in the vein of Thy Majesties’s acclaimed albums The Lasting Power (2000) and Hastings 1066 (2002), ShiHuangDi marks another important chapter in the band’s career, this time dealing with the life of the legendary Qin Shi Huang, who became the first emperor of a unified China in 221 BC.
ShiHuangDi will see Thy Majestie returning to their trademark sound, made of epic atmospheres, massive orchestral and operatic parts and – most of all – genuinely devastating metal.
A very special guest appearance by renowned singer Fabio Lione (RHAPSODY OF FIRE, VISION DIVINE, KAMELOT) has also been announced.
