Full Celldweller album to arrive in 2012 Dec 14, 2011 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden)
The mastodon project of creating "Wish upon a Blackstar" - the follow-up to the self titled debut album - started in 2009, when Klayton of Celldweller decided to release it in small installments. We've since seen 4 chapters of his exquisite blend of electronics and metal. We still haven't seen the finished product though, but that is about to change in 2012 when the album will be released in full. There will be 15 songs in total, so you'll get your money's worth. Klayton hasn't been idle though, he's released the song "Kill the Sound" for the "Dead Rising 2" soundtrack - together with Nivek Ogre no less. He's also released "Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol 1" (a collection of shorter more experimental tracks and some songs made for commercials etc), a whole bunch of remix singles and more. Now, Klayton is also focusing on creating a DJ set with reworked songs which he's touring in the US, and he's also preparing "Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 2", a new remix collection called "The Complete Cellout", and creating remixes for others like Pendulum, BT and Alexandria. You can check out his stuff on http://soundcloud.com/celldweller - including an awesome free download of a mashup of Metallica and Black Sabbath infused with electro and dubstep. Kent's new album arrives in April Dec 14, 2011 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden) Swedish rock/pop/electronic band Kent have recently been writing new songs, and after a productive session visiting a studio in France, they have returned to their homeland with a new album. It's called "Jag är inte rädd för mörkret" (I'm Not Afraid of the Dark) and is out in April next year. In a statement the band writes: "We wanted to make a collection of songs where only the best melodies fit in. Proud, hopeful and free (well, sort of) from self pity. We wanted to make use of the unit we are when we play magic songs together in a room again. You will love it!" A Nordic summer tour is also in the works, starting on June 29 in Borlänge at the Peace & Love festival, ending on August 21 in Åbo, Finland. More dates to come.
