ANCARA: Beyond The Dark-album released in Europe

ANCARA has released the following pressrelease on their official website:

"The new, second full-length album "Beyond the dark" will now be released in Europe (excluding Finland) through Metal Heaven. Recordings took place in Spring 2007 at Finnvox Studios and E-Major Studios in Helsinki with the production handled by the band with the help of Arto Tuunela and Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish). Mastering was done by Mika Jussila.

Ancara is a band with honourable history, formed of long term musicians whose musical roots are deeply located in the eighties. After several member changes and new beginnings, the band got its current form in 2003.
"Beyond the dark" already has hit the Finnish album charts on the opening week at 9th place at the release in the band's home country. The radio and video single "Deny" was released from the album which has been airing frequently on the Finnish radio and music TV since.

They also just finished their second music video from the album, called "Just for me". The clip is included on the European version as bonus together with another video for "Deny" and two bonus audio tracks called "The World" and a live version of "Burn In Hell".
