Chaosweaver covering Army Of Lovers' hit

Finnish symphonic extreme metallers Chaosweaver have recorded a cover version of 'Crucified', an international hit by the infamous Swedish pop band Army Of Lovers. The song features guest vocals from Heta Hyttinen, a renowned Finnish journalist and presenter.

"When somebody asks something as weird as this in the middle of the Tuska festival, of course I had to agreed," Hyttinen exclaims, and continues, "considering the band's musical style, I presumed they were to spice up the song with a heavier approach. I was just listening to the end result, and I have to say it sounds fucking splendid! No matter how bad your day's been, it just blows away your troubles."

'Crucified' cover will be included on the second edition of Chaosweaver's 'Puppetmaster of Pandemonium' on July 30th, 2008, and it will be released as a worldwide digital single on the same day. A stream teaser of the song can be listened to at www.myspace.com/chaosweaverband.

So far 'Puppetmaster of Pandemonium' has been released in nine different countries. Most recent additions have been Germany, Switzerland and
Austria, where the album is distributed by Universal Music and promoted by Brainstorm Music Marketing (Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein).

Chaosweavers music has been described as an unusual blend of gloomy metal, cinematic soundscapes and the dramatics of classical music. 'Puppetmaster of Pandemonium' features also Jules Näveri (Profane Omen & Enemy of the Sun), Tommi "Rotten" Virranta (Survivors Zero & ex-Deathchain), Aleksi Munter (Swallow the Sun) ja Ville Sorvali (Moonsorrow).
