MEXICO CANCELLED

Unfortunately the authorities in Mexico city have decided to shut down the whole Meszal metal fest for no particular reason.This really sucks since we really were looking forward to play there for the first time.But as many of you might now, things are really violent over there so perhaps this was for the best so we can stay alive to record The dark epic...

THE DARK EPIC...

Hi there!!

Some news for you all:

We will enter Black Lounge studio in october and together with Jonas Kjellgren we will try to create the best possible Army album ever.If we succeed or not is up to you to judge, but all I can say is that for the first time all songs feels like keepers. We have chosen 9 songs out of 13 and now the pre-recordings are done. There´s just some solos and lyrics left to be done but they will be in place in a couple of weeks. My voice seem stronger than in years. Like I´ve gone back 10 years to record a Crownalbum or something:-), and the rest of the gang is truly doing tremendous things. Jonas has written most of the songs and we have all had the chance to put some input in them which feels great. We´ve had so much time with the songs and to have had this long period since "Grim Tales" to just reload the batteries has been a true blessing. The ones who know about us knows that we were famous for working ultra fast and releasing album after album, year after year but I got to tell ya, this time we needed the extra time to come up with something extra special so it´s with great pleasure I announce "The dark epic..." as the title of our forthcoming album.

Some titles on the album are: Sandman apocalypse, Stitch, The pleasures of slavery, How I love to kill you, The zombie syndrome (of acid and man)

The coverart is being processed at this right moment by Björn of "Killustrations" so when we have it you will see it. Björn is a great guy and a real talent and we´ve talked for some time now to do the whole thing together. He has done some really cool shirt designs for us so we expect nothing but a masterpiece from him. No pressure Björn;-)        Those who expect General Grim to be on this one too will be very dissapointed.

Be sure to get the latest updates as soon as they come.

Cheers,

Johan

 

FIRST EVER SHOW OUTSIDE EUROPE

Hey!

Just wanted to share the moment with you all.
We are extremely happy to announce that we´ll finally do a show outside of Europe.

First there will be a small but cool warmup show here in my hometown on September 11 at Backstage rockbar and on September 26 we will head for Mexico and do the Mezcal Metal Fest 2.

And to do this show just a couple of weeks before we enter the studio  to record the 4th album just makes us even more motivated. Really great to take a small vacation from the new songs and just kick ass and party all night long. Well, we might put a new song in the set as well. Time will tell.

Cheers,

Johan

ANOTHER ALBUM UPDATE!!

Hey!

Johan here checking in from Studio Kisslebög.
I´ve just put the vocals on 6 tracks on our pre-recording.
Will probably do another 4-5 in a week or so and I´ve gotta tell ya, we have pretty awesome material to choose from when we´ll do the final studio recording in october.

Other than that I can tell you that we also have a new home on Facebook. Visit Onemanarmyofficial to get the latest updates.

ALBUM UPDATE

Hey!

It´s been quite a while since the last update and I truly appologise for that.

However, here it comes:

We´ve been really busy writing material for the fourth Army album. An album which we intend to record sometime during October/November this year.
We are currently working on 12 songs but the final product will probably include 8-10 songs. Most likely 8.

The cool thing is that Jonas has written most of the songs. He´s just been in the band for not even a year and already he has all these killer songs. They sound pretty epic and a bit different to what we´ve done in the past. A new strength and energy has been brought into the machine and we haven´t felt this powerful in years. 

We haven´t decided on artwork or title yet but there will be a new vibe concerning the new Army album for sure.  We´ve done 3 full length albums with the same cover over and over again and it´s time for a change. It´s time for General Grim to take a rest.
The whole vibe will illustrate a more darker atmoshere as well as lyrics and music.

Some titles are:
Sandman appocalypse, Inside the head of God, How I love to kill you, The pleasures of slavery

Can´t wait to play some tunes for you! It will slay!!!!
Stay tuned for more info.

By the way, for all you facebook lovers:, we have run into some problems on our page ....again, so there might be no updates there for a while. Maybe we´ll just launch a new page or something. Time will tell but check here on the homepage or www.myspace.com/onemanarmyandtheundeadquartet  if you want the latest updates.

ARMY VS 2010

Hello everyone out there!

I hope you all had a great 2009 and will have an even better 2010.

2010 will mark the beginning of a new era for us. With a brand new line up we will record a brand new album.

Yesterday, the 3rd of January we kinda woke up after a couple of months of silence and rest. It has been great to just relax all this time and not thinking of anything else but to recharge the batteries. But at one point you need to get back on track :-)

We actually went to the rehearsalroom and picked up 2 brand new songs written by Jonas. They sound pretty different to what we have done before and they feel great.  Time will tell how they will sound with vocals but I have a lot of cool stuff in mind.
We already have like 3-4 songs to work with at the moment so we will definitely be ready to record in a couple of months.

I hope you will join us on another ride.

Cheers!
