APOCALYPTICA: 'The Band Is In Great Mood, Motivated And Working Hard'

January 17, 2007

Eicca Toppinen, the primary composer of the Finnish cello-rockers APOCALYPTICA, has issued the following update:

"We are still working on pre-production for the [new] album, so there is nothing special to announce beside that we've decided to start drum recordings with Mikko [Sirén] beginning of March. It's still too early to know release date as there is many open issues, especially regarding guest artists...

"Anyhow, the band is in great mood, motivated and working hard so we should end up with really great album!"

As previously reported, APOCALYPTICA will release its double-DVD set, "The Life Burns Tour", in the U.S. on February 6.

SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo took part in a recording session with APOCALYPTICA during SLAYER's recent "Unholy Alliance" tour stop in Helsinki, Finland for a song on APOCALYPTICA's upcoming album.

Lombardo's appearance on the new APOCALYPTICA CD will mark the third time he has played on an APOCALYPTICA album, having previously performed on 2003's "Reflections" and then again on 2005's "Apocalyptica".
