BAL-SAGOTH: New Album Progress Update

July 16, 2004

The writing of the long-awaited sixth BAL-SAGOTH album is now at last nearing completion, and additionally some preliminary recording has commenced. The majority of the recording phase is scheduled to commence in full during the early autumn. A detailed press release concerning the sixth album will be unveiled exclusively at the official BAL-SAGOTH web site and nuclearblast.de to coincide with the official commencement of principal recording. Expect a release through Nuclear Blast during the first quarter of 2005.

In other news, BAL-SAGOTH have announced the addition of drummer Dan Mullins to the group's ranks. Dan's first appearance with BAL-SAGOTH will take place at the Wacken Open Air festival on August 7 on the "Black Stage."

Work on the series of BAL-SAGOTH graphic novels (written by Byron and illustrated by Martin Hanford) is continuing. The first story nearing completion is a mini-comic strip based on "Draconis Albionensis". In addition, negotiations are currently underway with a U.S.-based games development company to turn the BAL-SAGOTH lyrical mythos into a computer RPG.

All who lamented the lack of a full lyrical supplement for the fourth BAL-SAGOTH album, "The Power Cosmic", will be pleased to know that there is now a new edition of the album available which contains a full-color 12-page lyric booklet. This new edition of the fourth album is available on CD and is sublicensed from Nuclear Blast by the Russian company Irond Ltd. Check out www.irond.ru for more.
