De Lirium's Order

De Lirium's Order announce new line-up

Finnish death metal band De Lirium's Order has renewed its lineup and is now getting ready for recording the band's 3rd studio album. Juha Kupiainen, the founder and guitarist, has been composing new material during the past year, and at the same time, seeking new members to the band. A guitarist Mika Sundvall was the first to join, and due to music teaching background and close ties with Kupiainen, he made a perfect candidate for the band looking new talent. DLO's drum battery section has been occupied by young, but skilled Perttu Kurttila, who is previously known from bands Tracedawn and Lithuria, and for some, from East Sound Studios as a recording producer. From a list of gifted candidates, Jukka Pihlajaniemi was selected as the new vocalist with roots in bands The Undivine and Finnish Metal Awards winner Ghoul Patrol.

Formed in 1998, and developing their unique craft ever since, De Lirium's Order embodies unmerciful brutality and insanity put to music. The band combines grinding blast beats, technical riffs, catchy thrash-lines, obscure melodies and manic guitar leads to create death metal onslaught. In 2003 the band signed a recording contract with Woodcut Records and during the following year the debut album 'Victim No. 52', featuring Corpse (now Deathchain) in vocals, was released. This cold-blooded assault received praising response from the critics and death metal fiends worldwide.

In the beginning of 2007, the band signed with Shadow World Records and the album 'Diagnosis' was released in August 8th reaching the Finnish charts position #30. This time the vocals were manhandled by Mynni from the leading Finnish death metal act Sotajumala. During the years De Lirium's Order has established it's position among the most appreciated bands in the Finnish death metal genre.

The recording sessions for the new album are scheduled for February 2011. News and insights to the development of the album, composing and
