Tungsten announce new album ‘Bliss’
TUNGSTEN have announced a new album!
Titled Bliss, the upcoming album from the Swedish symphonic metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Tundra, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Arising Empire.
The upcoming album was recorded at Harm Studios in Trelleborg, Sweden. Guitarist Nick Johansson once again took care of the mixing, mastering and production duties with the albums artwork taken care of by Andreas Marschall. Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Mike Andersson says, “it all came naturally. Creating and recording this album truly put us in touch with the feeling of bliss. Nick and Karl, who wrote the music, have really shown their skills and musical talents. Bliss explores new musical ideas but is still based in the genre that we established in the band from the beginning.”
Bassist Karl Johansson adds, “we really hope that Bliss will reach an even broader fanbase than before. So much pain, sweat and love has been put into this album so we’re truly excited to introduce Bliss to the world.” And drummer Anders Johansson agrees, “this album might be one of the hardest ones I’ve had to record. Nick is close to a perfectionist at the production helm, so if I can find something that has been good about the pandemic it might be the fact I could spend many more hours in the drum studio just to practise and develop my technique.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, TUNGSTEN have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Come This Way. Speaking about the new song, Andersson adds, “it’s also a bit different to the rest of the album but, on the other side, all songs are quite different to each other in a nice way.”
