Greek extreme orchestral metal masters SEPTICFLESH have revealed the third behind-the-scenes look at the making of Codex Omega – specifically featuring exclusive video footage highlighting various vocal production sessions – including the recording of choral groups, Seth and Sotiris. Watch here:
Blackmore’s Night release their re-mastered 2CD Edition of their Christmas album ‘Winter Carols’ on 20th October, with 3 brand new bonus tracks!
The festive season is a particularly special time for Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night, not least because many traditional Christmas songs originate from medieval times, which are so dear to them. On this album, Ritchie and Candice share with their fans some of their favourite Christmas songs of the last 400 years.
The song ‘Wish You Were Here’, which is being promoted as their new Christmas single, is a wonderful cover version of the Rednex song, beautifully interpreted by Candice and embellished by Ritchie’s distinctive guitar-playing. The album also contains ‘Christmas Eve’, Blackmore’s Night’s previous Christmas single (from 2013) in different versions.
In the band’s words “We have been writing one song at a time and guess we are trying to expand our musical horizon every
time. Our first single “I Bear Fire” was a really straightforward and catchy song. With this new single “Till the Sea Swallows Us Whole”, we wanted a bit more depth and diversity in the song structure and also added some acoustic guitars”.
“Till the Sea Swallows Us Whole” has been recorded & mixed by Juhamatti Kauppinen (SHED Studios) and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios.
