BATTLELORE Preparing To Record New Album

Finnish "fantasy metal" band BATTLELORE has issued the following update:

"We will begin the recordings of our next album in early June at Sound Supreme Studios (Finland) with Janne Saksa, who will engineer and produce the album. The legendary Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH) will do the mixing and hopefully, we'll get the whole battle package out in early fall of 2010. Stylistically, we have turned back to the old-school style of songs with grinding drums and fast guitars! This will also be our first concept album and the songs will relate the story of Tolkien's tragic hero Túrin Turambar."

Soundshock.Net has uploaded video footage of BATTLELORE's September 26, 2009 performance at Camden Underworld, London, England as the support act for FINNTROLL. Watch the clip below.

BATTLELORE's latest album, "The Last Alliance", entered the official chart in Finland at position No. 26. The CD was released in North America in October 2008 via Napalm Records. It was recorded at Sound Supreme Studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland, with producer Janne Saksa and was mixed and mastered by the Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, ex-BLOODBATH).
