ADAGIO Guitarist: 'A New Chapter Is Starting Now'

October 11, 2007

Guitarist Stéphan Forté of the French metallers ADAGIO has issued the following update:

"Well, that's it. Last week we played our last show for 'Dominate' album, and now it's time to finish 'Archangels in Black'. This tour has been awesome for ADAGIO, with very huge moments like touring in Japan for the first time and playing Tunisia again along with FIREWIND and AFTER FOREVER.

"A new chapter is starting now and that means next tour will be totally different, and will probably start around April/May 2008 for the release of 'Archangels in Black'.

"I would also like to take the opportunity of this message to thank Thomas and KAMELOT for their great kindness during the last shows we did together. They are incredible guys, awesome performers on stage and very talented musicians. They have treated us like very few bands does, and we sincerely wish them lots of fun for their actual Japanese tour with FIREWIND. Hope to share the stage with you guys again very soon!!"

ADAGIO recently entered the studio to record its fourth album, entitled "Archangels in Black". According to a posting on the group's official web site, the overall vibe of the tracks like "Archangels in Black", "Undead", "The Fear Circus" and "Twilight At Dawn" is "very dark and massive. The band came back to a more orchestral style of composition but kept the heaviness of songs like 'Dominate' or 'Children of the Dead Lake' from the previous album released in 2005 in Japan."

Commented Stéphan Forté: "This album is a sort of tribute to dark arts, including horror movies and gothic literature. It's our own musical representation of what darkness is. I think the song 'Archangels in Black' would be a cool hymn for all those of us who enjoy sinister arts."

ADAGIO issued its latest album, "Dominate", in North America and Europe (outside France) in July 2006 via Locomotive Music. The CD — which was issued in Japan in December 2005 via Avalon/Marquee and in France in March through Double Vision (via Sony/BMG distribution) — was produced by Stephan Forté and Kevin Codfert, and was mixed at House of Audio Studios in Germany by Dennis Ward.
