VULTURE INDUSTRIES, the Norwegian avant-garde metallers, will head to Romania for the first time this autumn, to take part in a special event on the 16th October at the Silver Church Club in Bucharest. Billed by the organisers as a “Labyrinthic Metal Evening”, the bill also includes Sweden’s SHINING and Germany’s THE VISION BLEAK, as well as NIGHTINGALE, INDIAN FALL and KISTVAEN.Currently putting the finishing touches to VULTURE INDUSTRIES’ forthcoming album is Bjornar E. Nilsen (BLACK HOLE GENERATOR), who, aside from being the band’s front man, is also a producer, and who, together with ENSLAVED’s Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal, co-owns the Conclave and Earshot Studios where the album is being recorded. Larsen will also be helping with the production of the 7-track album, which is a follow up to the 2007 debut “The Dystopia Journals”, and is due for release on DARK ESSENCE RECORDS during the first half of this year.
Bergen-based VULTURE INDUSTRIES comprises a line up that includes some of the most experienced musicians on the local scene. Aside from Nilsen himself on vocals, synths and programming, band members include Øyvind Madsen (SULPHUR, ex-ENSLAVED, sessions guitars for DEATHCON) and Eivind Huse (SULPHUR, ex-SYRACH) on guitars, Kyrre Teigen on bass and Tor Helge Gjengedal (MALICE IN WONDERLAND, ex-SULPHUR, ex-TAAKE) on drums.
Commenting on the new album, Nilsen had this to say: “The new material generated a special excitement amongst the band while we were working on it in the studio, because it became obvious to everyone involved that we had developed a sound that is very distinctly and unmistakably VULTURE INDUSTRIES. The songs are longer than our previous ones, with the shortest one clocking in at 5 minutes, and we are very much looking forward to introducing them to a live audience”.
The vinyl edition of “The Dystopia Journals” will be available on the US label RAGNAROK RECORDS in the spring. More information about VULTURE INDUSTRIES can be found on MySpace at www.myspace.com/vultureindustries
