WITHERING SURFACE Rejoined By Drummer, Begin Work On New Album

September 24, 2003

Danish metallers WITHERING SURFACE have been rejoined by drummer Nikolaj Borg in time for the recording sessions for the group's new album, tentatively due in early 2004.

Borg's temporary replacement, SACRIFICIAL drummer Lukas Meier "couldn't manage to overcome the drummer job in WS because he was feeling insecure that he would not satisfy himself and us within the time frame we are working with," the band write on their web site. "But Nikolaj was up for the job when we asked him to record the album with us. He's learned the tracks faster than we could possibly imagine and it's working out better than ever! We took the chance to rewrite some of the tracks and to write a couple of new ones to replace some of the stuff that we weren't 100% satisfied with. What ever role Nikolaj will have in the band only the future will tell. We are concentrating on this album for now."

WITHERING SURFACE will enter the studio this Friday (September 26) to begin recording the follow-up to 2001's "Walking On Phantom Ice" — the group's first since their split with British label Copro Records. "We will record 12 tracks and probably end up with 10 tracks on the album," the band write.

"We could go on praising the mew material, but we'll spare you for that at this point. But we do want you to know that this will be the most heavy and intense stuff you have ever heard from us!!!"
