DREAM EVIL – Release “Thunder In the Night” EP! LISTEN HERE
Gothenburg’s DREAM EVIL, the authors of “The Book Of Heavy Metal”, returned loud and strong to the spotlight last year with their seventh studio album “Metal Gods”. Including 10 new songs of pure steel, “Metal Gods” was a first release in 7 long years since the previous “SIX” album and continued the band’s tradition of classic Heavy Metal madness.
DREAM EVIL are now pleased to launch 4 additional and completing songs from the “Metal Gods” sessions via the Digital EP “Thunder In The Night”, including lead guest guitar appearances by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) on the title-track and Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall) on “Fight For Glory” (Previously a Japanese CD bonus-track).
Here is the tracklisting for the release out today:
DREAM EVIL – “Thunder In The Night” EP (15:28 min.)
1. Thunder In The Night (04:10)
2. Calm In The Storm (04:11)
3. Fight For Glory (03:32)
4. Criminal (03:31)
DREAM EVIL bass-player Peter Stålfors checked in with the following comment about the “Thunder In The Night” EP: “It’s so much fun recording a new album, but sometimes it can be a little bit too much fun… and you record too many songs to fit on one album! That was the case when we released ‘Metal Gods’ last summer. But now the time has come to finally release the remaining four songs from ‘Metal Gods’ sessions on this brand-new EP entitled
‘Thunder in the Night’. Watch out for the guest guitar soloists, Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) on the title-track ‘Thunder in the Night’ and Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall) on ‘Fight for Glory’. It’s not just Heavy Metal, it’s also ‘Thunder in the Night’!”
Once again featuring recording/mixing duties by DREAM EVIL guitarist Fredrik Nordström at his legendary Studio Fredman (In Flames, At The Gates, HammerFall, Arch Enemy, Bring Me The Horizon, etc.), the “Metal Gods” album and the “Thunder In The Night” EP also feature cover artwork by Seth Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Exodus, Rotting Christ, etc.).
