Artist: SUSPERIA
Album: "CUT FROM STONE (CD)"

Year: 2007
Media type: CD

‘Cut From Stone‘ was recorded at Strand Studio, Oslo, Norway during 2006. The mix was completed by Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork) at Dug Out Studios in Uppsala, Sweden, whilst the production was handled by SUSPERIA and Marius Strand.

The Oslo based five piece - vocalist Athera, bass guitarist Memnock, drummer Tjodalv, guitarists Elvorn and Cyrus - have assembled a collection of aggressive hard hitting metal songs with a melodic edge. A maelstrom of vicious riffs and melody lies at the heart of the bands powerhouse performance on the eleven new songs that make up ‘Cut From Stone’. The full track listing is ’More‘, ’Lackluster Day’, ‘The Clone’, ‘Distant Memory’ ‘Release’, ‘Life Deprived’, ‘Between The Lines’, ‘Bound To Come’, ‘Under’, ‘Brother’, ‘Cut From Stone’.

The band has once again collaborated with Rune Tyvold for the sleeve design and cover artwork, which features a hybrid of the bands faces as its‘ main theme.

Speaking about the new album guitarist Cyrus said: “We’re really excited about this record. I think it’s our best album so far. I know it’s a clichй to say that, but I genuinely believe it. Working with Daniel Bergstrand was awesome, he taught us so much. He has given our songs a human touch, still really heavy and powerful but warmer and more organic. It has an analogue feel to it, which is how Daniel likes to work.”

Having battled professional demons during the recording, the band is once again ready to push forward now that the album is complete. Commenting on their ups and downs, bass guitarist Memnock said “Being in Susperia is like a marriage, except we have five wives. There is constant bickering, disagreements and even arguments but we have a strong bond and always make up in the end. We all believe passionately about what we do and always want the best, so it sometimes leads to some very uncomfortable situations.”

Though constantly underrated and often overlooked, SUSPERIA have delivered on the promise shown on their last album, ‘Unlimited‘. Their new recording represents a further step forward for the band as they continue to carve out their own niche in the metal fraternity.

‘Cut From Stone’ is the follow up to the bands’ 2004 TABU debut ‘Unlimited’, which has become their best selling release to date. Their first two albums were released through Nuclear Blast. SUSPERIA subsequently released the ‘Devil May Care EP’ in 2005 which reached Number 19 on Norway's official 'Hit List', making the band the first home-grown act in the metal genre to achieve a Top 20 hit in the country.

Exuding the confidence of a band on the rise, SUSPERIA return firing on all cylinders.
