HELLSAW Begins Recording Fourth Album

July 18, 2011

Austrian black metallers HELLSAW entered Munich, Germany's Dreamsound Studios last week to begin recording their fourth full-length album. Titled "Trist", the follow-up to 2009's "Cold" and is due for release in early 2012 on Napalm Records.

Commented HELLSAW frontman and founder Aries: "The German word 'Trist' is difficult to define exactly, but if you think of various connotations of solemnity and sadness you'd be thinking along the right lines.

"'Cold' was more about melancholy, 'Trist' is darker; it's like the scent of fine whiskey and damp earth.

"As a band, we always prepare thoroughly before going into the studio, but this time we've rehearsed even more in order to perfect the sound for each track. We've also sought to redefine the HELLSAW sound without losing our identity.

"There needs to be a certain amount of experimentation with each new album in order to bring the sound up to date.

"Without giving too much away, with 'Trist' we believe we have found the perfect symbiosis between the old and new elements. All the songs are strong, and it will definitely kick ass."
