Naumachia

Naumachia: 4th album 'Machine of Creation'

Norwegian/Polish blackened death metal act Naumachia, having released three studio albums (via Empire Records & Witching Hour Productions) has recently finished working on fourth full-length entitled 'Machine of Creation'. Last year in Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Vader) the musicians recorded, mixed and mastered 10 new songs.

'Multiple Personality' was chosen as the first song promoting the album. It features vocal parts recorded years ago by Covan (ex-Decapitated), for planned but never released third Atrophia Red Sun album. This song features as well vocals by Marcin Urbaś (ex-Sceptic), and has just been released online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16peZoTgtM

All bass parts were recorded by Sławomir "Mortifer" Kusterka, deceased Naumachia and Hate member, who passed away suddenly during last year's Hate's European tour with Hypocrisy.

All lyrics were written by Marcin Urbaś, who also contributed vocals in several songs. Photo session was done by Aukasz Jaszak, photographer and artwork designer (Decapitated, Blood Red Throne, Vomitory).

Track listing:
1. Aging Sun
2. Primal Instinct
3. Destroyers
4. Frag-men-ted
5. Men of Down
6. Machine of Creation
7. Scorched Earth
8. Multiple Personality
9. Lost
10. Amnesia

The band comments on the final outcome: "This is extremely important album for us  when it comes to new approach to songs, the sound quality, but first and foremost because of the fact that we composed it with Sławek (Mortifer), our friend and band mate that we miss a lot. Wiesławski Bros quickly catched on our intentions and helped us push Naumachia one step further. Music here is very diversified, there are lots of levels and references. Tempos are a bit slower then before. We've worked hard on the rhythm and melodies. One can even notice that we we turned to the first album 'Wrathorn' in a sense. Most songs appeared naturally during rehearsals, music got more energy and space. You'll find here lots of electronic parts composed by VX. Were very satisfied with the final outcome, and cant wait to present the album live on stage."

The album will be released late spring 2014, the band is currently looking for a label. You can also check studio report here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=65i4f37q9ZE
