POISONBLACK featuring former Sentenced-vocalist Ville Laihiala return with their brand-new album "A Dead Heavy Day", which will be
released via Century Media Records in August/September 2008 (exact dates below) and as a brand-new sonic
appetizer, the song "Hatelove" has just been posted on http://www.myspace.com/officialpoisonblack,
The band have also posted the second part of their studio report below.
POISONBLACK recorded "A Dead Heavy Day" at Soundmix Studio in their
hometown Oulu with Kari Vähäkuopus, which put them in the right mindset
for what the band refers to as an easy and quite relaxed recording
experience. Still, make no mistake! Musically the band strived for a
dirtier and more rocking sound than before. Hence, special credits go
out to Aksu Hanttu (Entwine), who mixed the album at Grooveland Studio
in Lahti, for understanding what sonic texture POISONBLACK were looking
for.
The single "Bear The Cross" will only be released in
Finland on August 13, 2008. It doesn't only feature two brand-new album
songs, but also an exclusive semi-acoustic live track the band
performed on Oulu's Radio Mega. "Bear The Cross" is likely to continue
the success of POISONBLACK's last single "Rush", which entered the
Finnish single charts on 5. The song had been taken from the band's
2006 album "Lust Stained Despair" which achieved a phenomenal position
2 in the Finnish album charts.

FINLAND: Wednesday, August 27, 2008.
