NEWS - 20.03.2009 Pathosray signs new record deals / Pathosray confirmed for ProgPower
Scandinavia
Italian progressive metal band PATHOSRAY is proud to announce the signing
of a worldwide deal with Frontiers Records, and an exclusive Japanese
deal with Soundholic Records, for the upcoming second album, "Sunless
Skies".
PATHOSRAY was formed in 2000 by drummer Ivan Moni Bidin and vocalist
Marco Sandron, later joined by bass player Fabio D'Amore, keyboardist
Gianpaolo Rinaldi, and guitarist Alessio Velliscig. The band released
their self titled debut album "Pathosray" through Sensory Records in
late 2007, gathering a great response from the Progressive Metal communities
all over the world.
In support of the release, PATHOSRAY played a few selected shows around
Italy and in September 2008 the guys went to Atlanta, USA to perform
for the first time abroad in front of an enthusiastic ProgPower USA
Festival crowd. 2 weeks later they played at ProgPower Europe in Holland
with similar responses.
The rest of 2008 was spent on writing and recording the new album, "Sunless
Skies", which was recorded and engineered at Artesonika Studios in Italy
by Ivan Moni Bidin and Fabio D'Amore, and mixed and mastered in Sweden
by Johan Ornborg and Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Symphony
X, Hammerfall, Opeth, Katatonia etc).
With a new record deal in place and an awesome new album to boot, PATHOSRAY
are ready to climb the next step on the Progressive Metal ladder. Bassist
Fabio D'Amore commented: "We're all really happy and excited about
the new album and the way how our sound evolved during these 2 years.
The new recording deals, with Frontiers Records and Soundholic, will
surely give "Sunless Skies" an extra value with the possibility to reach
new fans and spreading our music in the best way possible! We're extremely
pleased to have the possibility to work with such respectable companies,
also thanks to the amazing job that Intromental Management is doing
for us!"
In connection with the upcoming release, set for April 22 in Japan through
Soundholic Records, and May 25 in Europe and June 9 in USA on Frontiers,
PATHOSRAY has been confirmed to play ProgPower Scandinavia Festival
(alongside Pretty Maids, Freak Kitchen, Mercenary and more) in Copenhagen,
Denmark on September 25th, 2009.
"2009 couldn't have started better than this" said drummer Ivan
Moni Bidin, "the excitement for the invitation to play at Prog Power
Scandinavia in Denmark, with such big names, will give us the strength
to keep improving and set up the best show possible!"
Final tracklisting of "Sunless Skies" includes:
Crown Of Thorns, Behind The Shadows, Aurora, Quantic Enigma, In Your
Arms, Sons Of The Sunless Sky, The Coldest Lullaby, Perpetual Eclipse,
Poltergeist, For The Last Time (bonus track - Europe/USA), Rainfall
(bonus track - Japan).
