Work
on Korpiklaani's
new album continues, with the band recently announcing
that guitars are almost finished. Most significant, however, is the
announcement of the new release's name – Kunnia.
The word 'kunnia' is Finnish for 'honour'.
Leshak
have previewed several tracks that are to appear on their new album
Pustosvyat
(Пустосвят
), which is due for release next
week – February 11th
to be exact. Two new songs from the album have been made available in
full, including instrumental number 'Мельница
(Windmill)' and their
adaptation of traditional Russian folk song 'Яблочко
(Apple)'. Furthermore,
the band have released a sampler featuring snippets of each song that
is to appear on the album.
Dråpsnatt
have also been previewing their new album, Skelepht,
which is due for release in the coming months. The preview contains
samples of each song on the album, lasting just under a minute.
Speaking back in October,
the band said that the theme of the album is 'religiosity,
lightheartedness and insipience as a decomposing drop cloth behind
which all the futility and anguish of the human experience is poorly
concealed'.
In
other news, British medieval metallers Northern
Oak have begun preparing
material for the follow-up to 2010's Monuments.
A statement on the band's website
states that they have begun writing and intend to release the
material – most likely as an EP – later this year. Dutch power
metallers Conorach
have announced that they are 'ready
to record', while Serbians Eskhata
have begun
recording their forthcoming EP Tales
of Old, which will
consist of five tracks.
Finally,
veterans Suidakra
have released a video for the song 'Balor', taken from their latest
release, Book of Dowth.
