Biography

The melodic and melacholic metallers The Chant have signed a recording contract with Shadow World Records. The long awaited debut album Ghostlines will be released in Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia February 6th 2008. Release dates for the rest of the world will be published later.

Before signing the contract The Chant recorded four demos, latter two of which were named Demo of the Month in Inferno (the largest metal magazine in the Nordic Countries), Imperiumi.net (the leading Finnish metal portal) and Rokkizine.com. With Breakdown (2006) the band also won Radio YleX's demo contest, and was granted plenty of nationwide airplay. The Chant's music has been described as a powerful yet catchy combination of Katatonia, Anathema and Poets of the Fall.

Ghostlines was executed with an impressive list of hardboiled professionals. It was produced by the Moonsorrow vocalist-bassist Ville Sorvali, whose latest works include the chartbusting albums of Profane Omen and Dauntless. Mikko Herranen of Rust and Misery Inc. fame was in charge of mixing, and Chartmakers' Svante Forsbäck (Lordi, Sonata Arctica, Apocalyptica) took care of the mastering. The cover booklet was shot by Ville Juurikkala (Nightwish, HIM, Amorphis), who was recently named the Best Rock Photographer by the immensely popular City magazine.
