NIGHTRAGErecently completed work on 15 songs during the pre-production phase for its as-yet-untitled fifth album, which the band plans to officially start recording in June. The CD will be released viaLifeforce Recordsin Europe and North America(release dates to be revealed soon).Floga Recordsfrom Greecewill make the effort available on limited-edition vinyl.

NIGHTRAGE's forthcoming album will feature a guest appearance by the band's former frontmanTomas Lindberg(also known for his work withAT THE GATES,THE CROWNandLOCK UP).Lindbergappeared on the band's first two albums - 2003's"Sweet Vengeance"and 2005's"Descent Into Chaos"- before being replaced byJimmie Strimell, who sang on 2007's"A New Disease Is Born".

CurrentNIGHTRAGEvocalistAntony Hämäläinenmade his recording debut with the band on 2009's"Wearing A Martyr's Crown".

Commented guitarist/mainmanMarios Iliopoulos: "This time we have chosen a different approach in the recording process. All drums, bass, and guitars will be recorded atZero Gravity Studiosin Athens, Greece. Some of you might remember, this location was the set for our latest video'Wearing A Martyr's Crown'.

"On this record we want to break up the monotony of the typical Scandinavian weather/scenery and head to one of the most beautiful countries this band has ever played. So once again, Greece is our destination!

"Antony[Hämäläinen, vocals] will head intoArcane Digital Recording(located in sunny Chandler, Arizona USA) with our good friendRyan Butler(LANDMINE MARATHON,MISERY INDEX,PHOBIA,EXHUMED) for the vocal recordings. Another first for the band, trying out an American studio will be an interesting change. But for those of you who knowRyan's work, you can expect the result to be old school and punishing.

"Of course, our album would not be complete without the help from our longtime producerFredrik Nordström(DIMMU BORGIR,OPETH,IN FLAMES,THE HAUNTED,EXHUMATION,FIREWIND), who will drum edit, reamp, mix and master the album inStudio Fredman. We trust our longtime friendFredrikwill do an amazing job once again. He's been stunned by the quality of our new songs and is looking forward to working with us again."

"Wearing A Martyr's Crown"was released in North America on August 4, 2009 viaLifeforce Records.
