In the studio...

A fair amount of SD bands are gracing studios worldwide very early next year.


Ehnahre will be in the studio between the 4th and 27th to record, mix and master their début opus
The Man Closing Up, a record featuring five orchestrations. Featuring ex-members of new Hydra Head signees Kayo Dot, as well as featuring guest appearances from further former members of the aforementioned band, Ehnahre will be carving a new sound out of the very own in 2008.

Mixing abrasive death metal with the art-metal classical leanings made popular with KD, Ehnahre are a band for those who sometimes wish bands featuring classical instrumentation would destroy their stereo stystem from time to time. The five epic tracks on the album have lyrics inspired and based on the texts of Donald Justice. Expect CD and 2xLP versions of the album to surface Spring 08.

We're happy to announce that Like A Kind Of Matador have finished recording their side of the split 10" we've had planned for what seems like a lifetime. Now those lazy goons from Belfast (
Ed: Lazy?! They've put out an album and a split CD this year!) will finally enter the studio in January to put down three new tracks. Safe to say this will be awesome. Heavy tunes deserve heavy vinyl in a thick gatefold sleeve. Two UK doom juggernauts battling against your volume and bass switches to cave in your cranium. Nice.

As well as that we've recently learnt that the sneaky fiends that are Red Paper Dragon are entering the studio in the latter half of January to record some new material. We're excited to hear the results, as we're sure you all are. Initial reports are that it blows earlier material away - so you better get ready. See the great review of
Songs of Innocence on Sonic Frontiers here and whilst you're at it you may as well read the glowing review of Kids With Guns For Hands' début record here.

Lots more recording will be going on throughout the year and we'll be sure to keep you all updated! So much is going to happen next year for Sound Devastation. Keep in touch and keep checking back here for news. Exciting times!
