Архив новостей | Русская версия
Influential Swedish metallers ENTOMBED have commenced work on new material — nearly 18 years after the release of their ninth studio album, "Serpent Saints: The Ten Amendments".
ENTOMBED's current lineup includes original members Alex Hellid (guitar),Uffe Cederlund (guitar) and Nicke Andersson (drums).
Earlier today (Saturday, March 1),ENTOMBED took to social media share a couple of photos from the studio and included the following message: "Back in the Studio – After All These Years! We started working on new material at Nicke's studio — digging into the riffs, tones, and everything in between. Even dusted off the Peavey Studio Pro 40, the same amp used on 'Left Hand Path', to see if it still had some magic left in it.
"Things are coming together, and we can't wait to share more with you all as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
"L-R: Nicke Andersson, Uffe Cederlund dialing in the sound, and Alex Hellid (partly visible in the reflection) capturing the moment."
Back in July 2022, Cronos (VENOM),Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES),Scott Carlson (REPULSION),Johnny Hedlund (UNLEASHED) and Urskogr (SERPENT OMEGA) were among the special guests who performed with ENTOMBED at the band's exclusive show at the Gefle Metal Festival in Gävle, Sweden.
ENTOMBED's core lineup for the Gefle Metal Festival concert included Hellid, Cederlund and Andersson plus former ENTOMBED bassist Jörgen Sandström, who previously played with the band between 1995 and 2004.
Toward the end of the set, ENTOMBED played with two drummer and two drum kits, with the band's former drummer Peter Stjärnvind joining in.
During a playback of late ENTOMBED frontman Lars-Göran "L.G." Petrov's piano instrumental "DCLXVI", Alex, Jörgen and Uffe stood still looking down as a tribute to L.G. during which a second drum kit was rolled out and then they played "Chief Rebel Angel" and "Stranger Aeons", with both Peter and Nicke on drums and Peter's wife Pia on vocals. Pia then left the stage, and Peter and Nicke continued playing with Johnny on vocals.
Petrov died on March 7, 2021 after a battle with bile duct cancer. He was 49 years old.
L.G. formed a similarly named new band called ENTOMBED A.D. in 2014 when he and other members of ENTOMBED decided to change the band's name in order to avoid a legal battle with Hellid who didn't want his former bandmates to use the ENTOMBED moniker.
