"The recordings for Thunderstone's fifth studio album have begun this week at the familiar Sonic Pump Studios, in Helsinki. We are currently laying down drum tracks for the upcoming blast from the new line-up of the band and are anticipating a spring 2009 release. Stay tuned for more information, photos, videos, and a studio diary on our website! This is it! The waiting will be over soon!!!"
