After many months of waiting and persistant work, it's finally time to annonce the imminent release of the new album « The rise of Meldrak-Nok » !
The album has been mixed and mastered at the « LSD-TonStudio » studio in Germany under the expertise of Lasse LAMMERT. The artwork has been performed by Stan-W-D having accomplished a great work.
« The rise of Meldrak-Nok » correspond to the second chapter in the epopee by Lord Shades, still under the pen of Laurent BARBARIT.
The album remains in the same vein as the first, « The Downfall of Fďre-Enmek ». The symphonic aspects and the choirs are still encountering each other, being more accentuated thanks to the work of Olivier PERRIN, and carried by a music even more… agressive !During the weeks to come, keep yourself updated, for the release date..
Great many thanks to all of you having contributed to the realization of this second chapter!
It takes a lot of time to record an album by Lord Shades, and this adventure still has to overcome some obstacles. Even if the recording of the electric instruments, since long, is completed, we still have a lot of work to do on the sampling parts. We also have to record the guest musos, as well as some sound effects.
We have, however, finally found the studio taking care of our final mixing, beginning the 15th of April 2011. We are here talking about LSD TonStudio in Germany.
The final disc should follow shortly thereafter !
The recordings to the second album has advanced very well but it still remains a lot of work.(The takes of the singing, arrangments, samplings etc...)
While awaitening this, we have decided to put "The Downfall of Fďre-Enmek" up for sale online. See you in our shop for more information.
We apologize for the time having passed without any news, but we are in the middle of the recording of our second album.
The maquette is for the moment underway, allowing us to implement a lot of ideas and this should enable us to go into the studio during the end of the year. Besides this, we should be able to do some concerts before the end of the year too.
We'll keep you updated...
And no... We have not given up yet !
To begin with, several concerts are underway during the end of this year, one date being confirmed at the Métal Cave Party. (more info...)
Besides, we need to do more concerts, knowing that we, in our team, have the pleasure welcoming Julien d'Intense in the capacity of as manager. He will be in charge of promotion and concert arrangements. We have as well JC de Natural Waves to help us in our search for concert opportunities. Therefore, welcome to both of you !
In connection to this, a certain number of reviews have been published these last months. It has therefore become evident to create a page called "Reviews" gathering them all for your reading pleasure ici. We hereby also take the opportunity to thank all the different Zines, Webzines et Magazines having bestowed us their reviews.
