Quite some time has passed since the last END OF GREEN album hit the charts and with the arrival of summer END OF GREEN's singer, guitarist and songwriter MICHELLE DARKNESS has signed a long-term contract with AFM Records. He's about to fly to cold Finland in order to record his first solo album at Sonic Pump Studio (Sunrise Avenue, Apocalyptica and many more).
Michelle states: "Over the years I've written an ever-growing heap of songs. It was my intention to interrupt the ordinary cycle of album, tour and break. With END OF GREEN still being in a creative phase I want to use the time to record my own album where I can live out all my wishes and musical dreams."
All songs have been written by MICHELLE DARKNESS, who's also going to play all instruments in the studio. "I've been yearning to realize this for years. With AFM Records I've not only found an excellent home for my music but also new friends. All my darkbrothers share my happiness too."
Top producer Nino Laurenne from Helsinki is going to produce the whole album so there's really something to look forward to. In addition to ten original songs by Michelle there will be at least two cover versions on the album.
Some top-class musicians from Finland have already announced their participation, too. More information about this will follow soon, since Michelle didn't want to break all the news yet.
Release date: October 26, 2007 (AFM Records/Soulfood)
First songs will be online soon here: http://www.myspace.com/michelledarkness
If you want to catch MICHELLE DARKNESS live, you can see him right after the album release on October 31 in Stuttgart's "Die Röhre" club at a Halloween party with Michelle, Kerker, Andy Death & friends on stage. A tour is scheduled for December.
