ANATA Drummer Checks In From Recording Studio

May 19, 2008

Swedish death metal masters ANATA have entered the studio to begin recording their new album, tentatively due before the end of the year via Earache Records.

Commented drummer Conny Pettersson: "Finally the day had come that we had been waiting for so long. Preparation is the key, and if you can be over-prepared, I guess I was. It was nearly three years since we recorded [the last ANATA album] 'The Conductor's Departure' and we have rehearsed many of these new songs for nearly as long. And for this album we decided to record in another studio. Studiomega has been the choice for every ANATA album and almost all other recordings I have done this far except one. I felt it was time to try something new. Fascination Street Studio in rebro got to be my choice. Bands like OPETH, KATATONIA and SYMPHONY X have recently worked with this studio, and me in 2007 when I did a session recording with the band STARTERHEAD. I knew that this was the right place and that the studio engineer Jens [Bogren] was the right man for this."

The band's most recent CD, "The Conductor's Departure" (2006),was recorded at Studiomega with Valle Adzic (THE CROWN, IMPIOUS, LAKE OF TEARS, BESEECH). The CD features "10 brand new tracks continuing the path that have seen the band likened to MESHUGGAH, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, GOJIRA and NECROPHAGIST," according to a press release. "Merging blindingly technical riffing with an ear for melody, ANATA have gained a reputation for blatantly sidestepping the IN FLAMES imitation of their homeland. Instead, the band have found themselves mentioned as the missing link between death metal and the technical 'math-core' hardcore scene."
