IN VAIN: New Album Due In May

March 5, 2009

"Mantra", the sophomore album from Norwegian extreme metallers IN VAIN, has been delayed until May. Guitarist Johnar Haaland says, "The album has been postponed for various reasons, one of them being my inability to play any concerts as I am in Asia at the moment and will stay here for quite some time. Some minor adjustments also remain. Additionally, the album has not been mastered yet. You never know in this business, but I'm pretty sure the album will be available in May. We are very much looking forward to putting an end to this long process."

"Mantra" tentative track listing:

01. Captivating Solitude
02. Mannefall
03. Ain't No Lovin'
04. On The Banks Of The Mississippi
05. Circle Of Agony
06. Wayakin (The Guardian Spirit Of The Nez Perce)
07. Dark Prophets, Black Hearts
08. Sombre Fall, Burdened Winter

IN VAIN released its full-length debut, "The Latter Rain", in 2007 via Indie Recordings. The CD was recorded at DUB Studio (GREEN CARNATION, BLOOD RED THRONE, CHAIN COLLECTOR) in the summer/fall of 2006 and involved close to 20 guest musicians and several guest vocalists, such as Jan K. Transeth (IN THE WOODS...) and Kjetil Nordhus (GREEN CARNATION, TRAIL OF TEARS).
