Blacksmith is currently busy recording the NEW album in the studio and it is sounding HOT !
It is going to be a dark, fast, evil , and furious heavy metal album with several surprising
dimensions. No song will be like the other but they stay connected in their own WICKED way..The recording will preceed during 2008 and will be finished to be mixed later this fall.*******************************************************
********************Original band formed in Sweden in the 1980..s and the band had an
importand part in the start of the first wave of Swedish heavy Metal influencing many soon to be famous bands with their fast and high pitched sound..
The album "Gypsy Queen" was released as well as several maxi singels like "Tomorrows Mystery" today worth lot..s of money after reaching cult status in the hardrock/metal community. Unreleased material from this era includes recorded album "World Victims" as well as a bunch of high quality demo tracks featuring the powerful combination of Guitar-Bas-Organ-Drums and Vocals. Singer Per Englund has been mentioned several times as one of the great lead singers singing the falsetto screaming typ of lead vocals long before the likes of German Helloween Mikael Kiske and all who later followed. Per of course mellowed this down as he developed as a singer.. Blacksmith evolved from the having an early Deep Purple sound to having a more modern and rough sound in the likes of Judas Priest and other contemporary bands which soon became apparent.
Blacksmith was revived by singer Per Englund and guitar player Bobby Ho in the 1990..s after being offered several new record deals in both Europe and Asia. The album "Once upon a star" was released in most of the world through Massacre records in Europe and JVC-Victor in all of Asia as well as in Sweden on SunDance Records..
The main songwriters and the backbone of the band, Bobby Ho and Per Englund, then continued writing material for the next album which was completed around 2001. Unfortunately a bunch of circumstances came in the way for a follow up so all the material was archived for later use. After relocating his studio and having left another band Bobby and Per now have decided that the it is time to pick up the ball again. Blacksmith will be re-recording the material written in 2000-2001 and making this available for release together with the newly written stuff of 2007. A re-release of 1999..s "Once upon a star" will also be available in Europe and on license as previous master deal with German Massacre Records (Europe) has expired. This means that two finished albums could be available at the time of signing to the right company. We are looking for a European or U.S based label that is ready to cover all major markets (except ASIA)
