ATLANTEAN
KODEX: New Album From Epic German Metal Outfit
Underway
Germany's
ATLANTEAN KODEX have been hard at
work over recent months, writing their sophomore full-length album, which at
press time remains untitled. The follow-up to their heralded debut album, The Golden Bough is surely one of the
most anticipated albums for fans of grand, epic and pure heavy
metal.
Stated
guitarist Manuel Trummer this week on the progress of the writing process: "The
new album is slowly starting to take shape. So far we have around 30 minutes of
all new, unreleased material. There won't be any demo songs or older songs from
previous releases on the album. Regarding the general direction, you can expect
the same sound and atmosphere as on The
Golden Bough. There won't be any change in style whatsoever. The stuff we
have written so far ranges from nice headbanging up-tempo anthems to some of the
slowest and most epic stuff we have done... it's safe to say that our key
coordinates still are Into Glory Ride -
era Manowar, Viking-era Bathory,
arcane 80's U.S. Metal served with a healthy dose of NWOBHM, folk and 70's
vibes. All regressive, all ATLANTEAN
KODEX."
ATLANTEAN
KODEX will
be focusing on the writing of this opus year until they are 100% sure the album
is a worthy successor to The Golden
Bough, being planned for release
sometime in late 2012 or early 2013.
The
Golden Bough,
released by Italy's Cruz Del Sur Music in 2010, took fans of the most epic
classic, power and doom metal by surprise, reaping incredible acclaim from
critics and publications of all caliber and from diehard fans of pure heavy
metal worldwide, and closing out the year on countless year-end
lists
