The debut album from Brazilian dark metallers OF THE ARCHAENGEL, entitled "The Extraphysicallia", has been delayed due to the fact that it will mastered at The Cutting Room studio (AMON AMARTH, OPETH, GORGOROTH, PAIN, PARADISE LOST, CHROME DIVISION) in Sweden.
Commented the band: "When we received the news about the delay, of course, we weren't very happy. After all, we had booked the release of 'The Extraphysicallia' in a concert with OPETH in São Paulo, and it looked like a wasted opportunity, but when we heard the reason, everything else was meaningless! We are very happy with the attention that we are receiving from our label, specially when we remember the lack of interest of Brazilian labels."
"The Extraphysicallia" features a guest appearance by ROTTING CHRIST frontman Sakis Tolis.
Sakis can be heard providing guest vocals on the track "Water Flows Through The Slimy Walls".
Tolis G.Palantzas, manager of Sleaszy Rider, recently stated about OF THE ARCHAENGEL: "One of the most exciting things in the music business is to dicover some great, but unknown bands, it's like finding some hidden jewels... And listening for first time to this — unknown for me till then — band OF THE ARCHAENGEL, it was a huge surprise. These Brazilian dark metallers are a great band. They can mix so nice and smart many metal genres with gothic elements and compose some really great atmopsheres! The band's vision to make some steps forward to the metal scene, the great communication with us and their whole attitude, did it easier for us, to sign them in our label. Having a really good band like OF THE ARCHAENGEL on our roster makes our work more exciting and I hope that all the metal fans around the world will be at least so much enthusiastic as we are! After SEPULTURA and ANGRA, the next best band from Brazil is sure OF THE ARCHAENGEL!"
