11 November 2009 For Immediate News Release MARIONETTE Comment on Upcoming Tours, Live Footage from Gothenburg Available Gothenburg Sweden based metal sextet MARIONETTE has posted a collage of high quality footage from its September 24, 2009 show at Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg Sweden. The video can be viewed at the link below.
MARIONETTE recently announced it will support SHADOWS FALL and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH in Scandinavia and BLESS THE FALL on a string of tour dates across Europe and the UK this winter. The trek will include two “Off Date” shows which will feature MARIONETE as headline act. Bassist and founding member Mikael Medin comments:

“We have a slew of upcoming dates where you can hear and see us perform new songs from "Enemies" as well as some favorites from "Spite". We’ve been hungry to get back out on the road. We start later this week in Scandinavia with Shadows Fall and Five Finger Death Punch, and in December we will tour Europe and the UK with Bless The Fall. To give you a taste of what you'll see we've posted some video footage of a recent show we did recently at Sticky Fingers.

"We look forward to meeting everyone who comes out, both new fans and those who have seen us before. We have two special headline shows set up, one at Rios in Leeds on 6 December and on 14 December at Blogos in Bologna, Italy (moved from Montebelluna). We plan to have special sets for these nights, so we hope those who like what they see on the tours will come see us for those nights as well and hang with us after the shows at the merch stand. We’ve got more plans in the works for 2010 and we look forward to unveiling them soon. In the meantime, keep up with our videos, and we’ll see you in the moshpit."

13.11.2009 - Vox Hall, Århus, Denmark

* w/ DEAD BY APRIL

 

MARIONETTE has also posted the song “Creatures” on the band’s Official Myspace Page.  “Creatures” comes from Enemies, the bands sophomore release due out on October 5, 2009 in Europe via Listenable Records.

 

MARIONETTE lead guitarist and backing vocalist Aron Parmerud recently described Enemies as a monumental evolutionary step from the band’s debut album Spite.  “Unlike the recording process of Spite we recorded Enemies over a period of months, and we have had plenty of time to try new things in the studio to make the album absolutely insane. Every element that you heard on Spite has been taken to the extreme.  At the same time, there is a clear evolution from Spite to Enemies.  All of the live experience we have had while touring has made us more skillful as individual musicians and tighter as a band. All this will reflect itself on Enemies when it is in your hands this fall!”

 

Enemies, the follow up to MARIONETTE’s debut album Spite, was recorded with a team of up-and-coming as well as established names in Swedish music including Pontus Hjelm (DEAD BY APRIL) and two-time Swedish Grammis award winning producer and songwriter Åke Parmerud.  The album was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström (IN FLAMES, AT THE GATES, BRING ME THE HORIZON) at Studio Fredman and Peter In De Betou (DIMMU BORGIR, ZONARIA) at Tailor Maid respectively in May 2009.....

For Immediate Release

15 September 2009

Sydney, Australia’s premier extreme metal unit, THE AMENTA recently announced the departure of vocalist Jarrod Krafczyk and bassist Dale Harrison.  The two have been replaced by Cain Cressall (MALIGNANT MONSTER) and Dan Quinlan (PAIN DIVISION) respectively.  THE AMENTA will showcase its new lineup at Against The Grain Festival (September 19^th), and a series of Australian shows before the band embarks on the Monsters of Death Tour in North America this fall with VADER, DECREPIT BIRTH, WARBRINGER, AUGURY and S.W.W.A.A.T.S.  Keyboardist Timothy Pope made the following remarks on the lineup changes:

 “Firstly we would like to thank Jarrod and Dale for all their hard work for the band. They both put in amazing effort throughout their time with us. We would also like to congratulate Dale on his impending fatherhood. The split was very amicable and we wish them all the best. That said we are very excited to have Cain and Dan on board. 

 

“Dan has been a friend for a long time and has worked with us a sound engineer in the past.. He is a great bass player and his touring experience with PAIN DIVISION as well as his vocal abilities means that Dan has already become an invaluable asset to THE AMENTA.

 

“Cain was our one and only choice when we parted ways with Jarrod. We played with his band MALIGNANT MONSTER in Perth early this year and his performance was a very hard act to follow.  He has an amazingly versatile voice coupled with the best stage presence we have ever seen. I know that with these two on board THE AMENTA will be the strongest we’ve ever been.

 

“We are very excited to embark on our first ever North American tour. To be sharing a stage with our friends in Vader again will be amazing and I am looking forward to seeing the other bands in action. We are looking forward to showing off our new line up and I know that we are going to blow some minds.

 

“After the tour we are going to get stuck into writing the follow up to last years, “n0n”. I’m not sure what direction the album will take yet but you can rest assured that it will be extreme, challenging and unlike anything we, or anyone else, has done before.

 

“It’s been a great year for THE AMENTA and the Monsters of Death tour is the perfect end. Prepare yourselves North America. You haven’t seen anything like us before.”

MARIONETTE Post Two New Songs From Enemies Online

Gothenburg based metal sextet MARIONETTE has made the songs “Through Veils” and “The Swine” available on the band’s official Myspace Page.  “The Swine” and “Through Veils” come from Enemies the band’s sophomore release due out on Listenable Records in Europe in the first week of October.

MARIONETTE lead guitarist and backing vocalist Aron Parmerud recently described Enemies as a monumental evolutionary step from the debut album Spite.  “Unlike the recording process of Spite we recorded Enemies over a period of months, and we have had plenty of time to try new things in the studio to make the album absolutely insane.

MARIONETTE’s debut album, Spite, was released in North America via Koch/Listenable Records in September 2008.  The album was released previously in April of that year via Listenable Records across Europe.  Spite was recorded, mixed and mastered with a team of up-and-coming and established producers including Simon Exner (AS YOU DROWN), Christian Silver (SONIC SYNDICATE, THE CROWN) and two time Swedish Grammis winning composer/producer Åke Parmerud.  Quality video footage of MARIONETTE performing the songs “Legion”, “Parasite” and “In Spite” from Brew House in Gothenburg on 08 Feburary 2009 can be viewed at the link below:

Sydney Australia-based extreme metal act THE AMENTA will join VADER, DECREPIT BIRTH, WARBRINGER, AUGURY, S.W.W.A.A.T.S. on “Monsters Of Death Tour” presented by Decibel Magazine.  “Monsters of Death Tour” kicks off on November 4 in Baltimore, Maryland and will run for 38 dates across North America, also marking the first North American tour for THE AMENTA.

Commented keyboardist/sampler Tim Pope:  “THE AMENTA is very honoured to be sharing a stage with VADER in North America on the "Decibel Presents: Monsters Of Death Tour". Our first European tour - Winterfest 2009 - was with Vader earlier this year and we know that we’re going to have a great time both offstage and on with those guys. It’s a very strong bill and we can’t wait to see the other bands in action. We’ve heard so much about touring North America and can’t wait to get over there to blow people away. We are on the top of our game at the moment and the States will finally get to see what we are capable of. Thanks to everyone involved for giving us a chance. It’s a great honour to have such a strong tour for our first time on your shores. To the fans in the States: Get ready. You haven’t seen anything like us.”

THE AMENTA recently completed the “Unleashing The Extreme Tour 2009” in Australia, which also featured PSYCROPTIC and RUINS.  All upcoming tour dates, including “Monsters of Death Tour” can be found below.

n0n, the latest album from THE AMENTA, was released on 10 February 2009 in North America via Listenable Records. The CD, which came out in Europe in October 2008, was mixed at The Vault Studios in Sydney, Australia with longtime engineer Lachlan Mitchell (NAZXUL). Mastering n0n took place at Studios 301 with Australia's premier mastering engineer Steve Smart.

THE AMENTA describes the n0n’s sound as a fusion of extreme metal, electronic noise and dub. The follow-up to 2004's Occasus features tracks in total, with each song containing over 100 actual recorded tracks, pushing technology to its absolute limits.  Rather than relying on the clichéd shit in which other bands are content wallow, THE AMENTA has constructed an album built on new ideas, new concepts, new sounds and new techniques. n0n is the fusion of white noise, shards of dissonant guitars and dense layers of radio chatter. Lyrically, n0n is a newscast, “showing you the shit around you. Suicide bombers and evangelists, freeways and dead ends. n0n stands as an indictment on today's media and technology addicted society.”

Concert footage from THE AMENTA’s performance at Manning Bar in Syndey Australia as part of the “Unleashing The Extreme Tour” can be viewed at the link below.  This live clip of the song “Dirt” also features RUINS vocalist Alex Pope, who laid down vocal tracks for the song on n0n.

Gothenburg Sweden based metal sextet MARIONETTE recently came home from a two and fifteen date trek across the UK with Deathstars and The Defiled.  A tour video capturing the excitement and debauchery of MARIONETTE’s second UK trek in 2009 can be viewed at the link below.



Upon arrival in Gothenburg after the UK tour, MARIONETTE entered Studio Fredman with legendary producer Fredrik Nordström (In Flames, At The Gates, Zonaria) to begin the mixing process for the bands as-of-yet-untitled sophomore release.  Prior to the UK tour MARIONETTE tracked the album with Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April, ex Cipher System) and two-time Swedish Grammis award winning producer/composer Åke Parmerud in Gothenburg.  The album will be mastered by Peter In de Betu at Tailor Maid Studio (Old Man’s Child, Dark Tranquillity, Dimmu Borgir) in Stockholm Sweden, with an expected fall 2009 release via Listenable Records.

MARIONETTE lead guitarist and backing vocalist Aron Parmerud recently described the band’s new album as monumental evolutionary step from its debut album Spite.  “Unlike the recording process of “Spite” we will record over a period of months, and we will have plenty of time to try new things in the studio to make the album absolutely insane. Every element that you heard on “Spite” will be taken to the extreme.  At the same time, there is a clear evolution from “Spite” to this album.  All of the live experience we have had while touring in support of “Spite” has made us more skillful as individual musicians and tighter as a band. All this will reflect itself on the album when it is in your hands!”


MARIONETTE’s debut album, Spite, was released in North America via Koch/Listenable Records in September 2008.  The album was released previously in April of that year via Listenable Records across Europe.  Spite was recorded, mixed and mastered with a team of up-and-coming and established producers including Simon Exner (As You Drown), Christian Silver (Sonic Syndicate, The Crown, By Night) and two time Swedish Grammis winning composer/producer _ke Parmerud.  Quality video footage of MARIONETTE performing the songs “Legion”, “Parasite” and “In Spite” from Brew House in Gothenburg on 08 Feburary 2009 can be viewed at the link below:
