Brainstorm kiinnitetty Reigning Phoenix Musicille – uusi albumi ulos helmikuussa

Saksalainen power metal -yhtye Brainstorm on tehnyt sopimuksen Reigning Phoenix Musicin kanssa. Yhtye julkaisee uuden ”Plague Of Rats” -albuminsa 28. helmikuuta. Ensimmäinen single ”Garuda (Eater Of Snakes)” tulevalta albumilta julkaistaan 12. joulukuuta.
Yhtyeen vokalisti Andy B. Franck kertoo albumista:

”The history of India dates back to 5,000 years and the Indus civilization is one of the oldest in the entire world. With ’Maharaja Palace’ (’Ambiguity’) but especially our breakthrough with the album ’Soul Temptation’ it was important to me to bring my penchant for this history and culture into our music. I think it just fits well with the sound of BRAINSTORM. I love the sound and harmonies in the Indian music and I think it was about time to delve into history again and to bring this very special shine into our music.

’Plague Of Rats’ is more ’in your face’ and very direct. I think it fits perfectly into our times and reflects the mood of the band: it’s very aggressive and energetic – attack!

After so many years, it’s difficult to record an album and not find yourself repeating yourself. ’Plague Of Rats’ is perhaps the album where we managed to learn from past mistakes and combine all our strengths. We’re all very proud of this album and can’t wait to play these songs live.”

Uutta sopimustaan RPM:n kanssa yhtye kommentoi:

”It’s more than just a band for us: the personal connections and chemistry between us make this group something special that you rarely find these days. Putting our music in the hands of a new label is one of the most important and trusting decisions of all. From the first meeting and conversation, we had a sensational, confident foundation with RPM that left no doubt about who we wanted to work with in the future. Landing on a Southern German label as a Southern German band is the best thing that could have happened to us in our career.
We’re really looking forward to many successful years! We’re incredibly proud to now belong to the RPM family, and thank them for their trust. ”Plague Of Rats” is the perfect beginning of this special connection. We speak one language and the same dialect. In this sense: ’Wir freiat ons saumäußig uff a goila Zeit! Kracha lassa!’ We couldn’t be any prouder.”
