[url=][/url]NARNIA Focusing On Songwriting - Nov. 15, 2007 Swedish epic/melodic metallers
NARNIA have issued the following update:
"Due to current personal situations within in the band, we are not, as planned originally, doing any concerts at the moment. We plan to be back in the spring of 2008. In the meantime, we focus on writing songs for our new
album which is to be released in 2008."
NARNIA recently posted a newly recorded
song,
"In His Majesty's Service" on their
MySpace page. The track was originally written and recorded by the Swedish band
JERUSALEM back in 1985.
NARNIA's version of the song is featured on the group's 10th-anniversary "best of" album,
"Decade of Confession", which was released this past summer via
Massacre Records.
NARNIA's most recent collection of all-new material,
"Enter the Gate", was released in April 2006 via
Massacre. The CD, which was released in Japan on March 23, 2006 via
Attic Arcade/
Gencross, was described by the band as "the most well-sounding and well-performed
NARNIA album to date." The follow-up to 2003's
"The Great Fall" features backing vocals by
Mats Leven (
THERION,
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN,
AT VANCE) and contains "the most melodic and catchy
songs since
'Long Live the King' from the late '90s but in a brand new sound and approach," according to the band.
