DARKANE Begins Work On New Material

September 14, 2009

Guitarist Christofer Malmström of Swedish thrashers DARKANE has issued the following update:

"DARKANE has had some time off during the summer while Peter Wildoer [drums] has been busy touring with PESTILENCE. We played the Roskilde festival in Denmark and the Brutal Assault festival in the Czech Republic this summer, and they both felt very successful.

"Next up is the Underground thrash festival in Oslo, Norway on October 10th. We are also working on a very cool tour pretty far away from where we live, but it will be official when its 100% confirmed.

"During the summer Peter, Klas [Ideberg, guitar] and I have come with ideas and riffs for the next album, and Jens [Broman, vocals] has written some lyrics. We have now started to gather together and put our ideas into actual songs. We are very eager to start recording the next album, and I think we have come up with some very cool stuff so far."

"Demonic Art", the fifth album from DARKANE, debuted at No. 104 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Demonic Art" was released in North America on February 10 via Nuclear Blast Records. The North America version of the CD, which came out in Europe on October 24, 2008 via Massacre Records, contains a bonus track and a bonus DVD.

HardTimes.ca conducted an interview with DARKANE when the band played Foufounes Électriques in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on February 16, 2009. Watch the 17-minute chat below.
