Poland's DARZAMAT will enter the studio in May

to record their fourth album, tentatively due before the end of the year through Avantgarde Records.

The follow-up to last year's “Oniriad” will be the group's first album to feature new members Golem (drums, ex-DRAGON), Spectre (keyboards) and Nera (vocals, ex-MIDNIGHTDATE). Songtitles set to appear on the as-yet-untitled CD include “Era Aggression”, “From Beyond” and “Time Of Obscure Emotions”.

“The [new] stuff is harder than all the previous DARZAMAT albums,” stated guitarist Chris. “But the music is still [full of] those dark emotions which brought DARZAMAT to life.”

In other news, DARZAMAT will co-headline the Metal – Gothic Festival on March 6 at Estakada in Moscow, Russia. Other bands scheduled to perform at the festival include ENTWINE from Finland, MACBETH from Italy and SHABASH from Estonia.
