SINERGY

Finland's SINERGY will enter the studio in the spring to begin recording their fourth full-length album, tentatively due in late 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records.

“We actually have the majority of [the new album] written now, but we haven't actually been able to rehearse most of the songs yet with the whole line-up due to everyone's different schedules,” singer Kimberly Goss said in an online posting. “I can tell you as of now myself, [guitarist] Alexi [Laiho], and [guitarist] Roope [Latvala] have written about 3 songs each. Some of them still have to be worked on, so perhaps the end result will be that more riffs are contributed from and/or changed by other members, therefore not making the song 100% mine, or Alexi's, or Roope's. This is the way we've always written. If you look at the songwriting credits on our previous albums, you'll see many songs that were written by more than one band member, and others that were written solely by just one of us. I just got off the phone with all the guys and we'll be starting some hardcore rehearsal sessions this week and continue until all the song arrangements are completed. The album will be recorded in the spring. Exact dates are not confirmed, but we should know very soon.”
