Sundsvall, Sweden-based death metallers IN BATTLE are currently recording their fourth album, “Kingdom of Fear”, due later in the year via Candlelight / Nocturnal Art Productions. The follow-up to 2004's “Welcome to the Battlefield” will honour the memory of the group's former drummer, Otto Wiklund, who passed away last August.
Wiklund appeared on IN BATTLE's first two albums “Lost in the Shadows Gray” (1997) and “The Rage of the Northmen” (1998) and was also the session drummer for SETHERIAL, with whom he recorded the “Lords of the Nightrealm” album (1997).
IN BATTLE's latest album, “Welcome to the Battlefield” (2004, Cold/Metal Blade Records), was recorded at Courthouse Studio in Östersund, Sweden and at Necromorbus Studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The CD was mixed and mastered at Erik Rutan's (HATE ETERNAL/ex-MORBID ANGEL guitarist) Mana Recording Studios in Tampa, Florida with engineer Shawn Ohtani
