EVEREVE Preparing To Enter Studio

German gothic metallers EVEREVE have issued the following update:

"We have finished up the songwriting, additional planning and [are preparing] for the production [of the new EVEREVE album]. We'll record a cycle of three songs we call E - Mission where each of the songs ('Revelation', 'Reborn' and 'Regret') are tied together in a conceptional sense. So it basically is a continuation of the EVEREVE history, lyrically and musically, which you are familiar with and still packed with surprises based on new and different aspects of our creativity!

But there is more. Such as the three songs are going to be produced by ourselves in cooperation with Mario Melle (who has been already a part of the pre-production for 'Tried & Failed').

"We expect to complete the production by February/March 2009 and are looking at a release right after finishing in spring of 2009. Since there lies somewhat of an uncertain future ahead of the music industry and especially CD production, we have decided to not go down the conventional path with this release, but rather use new ways of getting the music to you! It's pretty much the only way for us as well, to deliver a quality product for an affordable price without us getting shipwrecked financially. Besides, we are not really interested in supporting the continuous rise in CD prices and dubious politics of certain labels. Nevertheless, will we still get our music to you on a quality level you're used to, incl. the adequate artwork, lyrics, photos etc."

Metal Mind Productions recently reissued the first three EVEREVE albums — "Seasons" (1997),"Stormbirds" (1998) and "Regret" (1999). Each limited-edition digipack title (limited to 2,000 copies) was made available on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.

EVEREVE's music is defined by clean vocals (as opposed to death grunts),generally English lyrics (though Abraza La Luz" on 2002's ".enetics" was in Spanish, and "Stormbirds" also had songs in French and German),more predominant use of synthesizer than typical metal bands, and the occasional use of vocal samples to introduce many of their songs (though this has declined in recent years). The band describes its particular brand of metal as cyber goth.
