THERION, MAYHEM Members To Guest On EYES OF NOCTUM Debut

July 17, 2008

Swedish multi-instrumentalist Snowy Shaw (THERION, DREAM EVIL, KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME) has just finished laying down the drum tracks for the debut album from EYES OF NOCTUM, the California-based band fronted by actor Nicolas Cage's 17-year-old son Weston (MySpace page). The CD recordings are currently proceeding at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, HAMMERFALL). Norwegian drummer Hellhammer (MAYHEM, DIMMU BORGIR) also made a guest appearance on three tracks.

Weston introduced DIMMU BORGIR from the stage at the April 16, 2008 concert at The Grove in Anaheim, California.

In a July 2007 interview with Wizard Entertainment, Weston stated about his musical preferences, "I'm really into the kind of music that comes from Norway called black metal. It's the type of music that's really, really raw. But some bands like CRADLE OF FILTH like to add melodic factors to it, which I do myself, and what that does is create a very powerful piece that incorporates strong melodic backgrounds that could be rather like Bach or something very symphonic."

On how his parents' celebrity status (Weston's mother is actress Christina Fulton) might affect the way he is perceived by the rest of the world, Westonreportedly said, "I hope they [people] look beyond the fact that my parents are celebrities, because I want to start with a clean slate. Hopefully my past or where I come from won't hinder what I have to offer as an individual."

EYES OF NOCTUM's debut album is set for a January 2009 release via Morbid Rose Records.
