Announcement from Facebook

Ladies and gents, we just finished our last rehearsal before the recordings will begin and we finally agreed on a title:

Pandora's Piñata

Album will be released in the first quarter of 2012 so be patient and stay tuned for sneak peaks of what to come!

Cool news, as I've been pretty anxious to hear their next record ever since being won over at ProgPower USA in 2009 by them (after not caring for them previously..the Opera-style of vocals mainly, which I've come to like), and then their record released around that time Sing-Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious finishing in my top 30 albums for '09.

This band are crazy and fun in all the best ways. Like Unexpect or Akphaezya but maybe a bit toned-down. More emphasis on cello and concsise guitar-riffs.

I found out this upcoming record was not coming until 2012 earlier this year, although it was funny enough how announced on April 1st they were breaking up. Thankfully, that was just something to find funny (unlike the other bands who've broken up this year).

Akphaezya - Anthology IV : The Tragedy of Nerak (2012)

Sucker is finally coming out in March 2012, as they finally got signed to a label to release it. It was recorded, mixed, mastered by last Spring, so at least it doesn't sound like it will go the way of other albums that are finished and never released (Fields - Hollow Mountains comes to mind).

AKPHAEZYA sign with code666

French "Avantgarde Metal" band AKPHAEZYA have inked a new album deal with code666 (part of the Aural Music Group).

The band formed in 2002 to create music without boundaries and released their first demo in 2004 called "Akphaezya - Anthology II: Links from the Dead Trinity" which was re-released later in 2008 by Ascendance/Candelight Records with worldwide critical acclaim.

AKPHAEZYA guitarist Stephan H. commented on the new deal: "We are very proud to work with a cult label like code666, Tte new album "Anthology IV : The tragedy of Nerak" which is mastered by Brian Gardner (Down, Lamb of God, QOTSA...) will be released in March 2012."

code666's Emiliano Lanzoni stated: "AKPHAEZYA are crazy, in the good way. I enjoyed their debut album, but when i received the new songs i was blown away: this is really top notch avantgarde metal: what code666 is renowed for."

AKPHAEZYA are now working on the artwork and video for the new album, titled "Anthology IV : The tragedy of Nerak" and scheduled for march 2012 on code666.
