StampKase talk about forthcoming record and new line-up

"For fans of Textures, Mnemic and Meshuggah."

Portuguese modern metallers StampKase announce that they still looking forward to write the successor of 2012's debut album 'Mechanorganism»', despite the line-up changes they went through in the last year. The band from Azores islands makes it clear that giving up is not a possibility and that there's even new sounds being developed.

"We are aware that many people think we are knocked down after André (vocals) and Bruno (guitars) left the band after ten years. It was indeed a big setback but this is actually something pretty trivial in the music realms. The most important thing is that we are still writing and looking forward to recruit the best musicians to replace them. Actually, this is something we've been working hard lately and it seems we can have white smoke on that soon. We will keep you updated. Besides, some songs have been written, once Nuno (bass player) is also able to play the guitars. So, we are sure some great riffs will turn up profit when all the band is together again."

StampKase erupted from their volcanic land in 2003 and since then they have become one of the most successful bands to ever come out from Azores. They won the acclaimed "Angra Rock Music Contest" in 2005 and shared the stage with bands like Mnemic [Den], Exilia [Ita], Fear My Thoughts
[Ger], Dagoba [Fra] and many more.

In 2010 they started to record their debut album, which had Daniel Cardoso [Anathema, Angelus Apatrida, Anneke van Giersbergen] handling the mixing and mastering duties. For the artwork, the band recruited the uk art wizard Colin Marks [Kataklysm, Exodus, Nevermore].
