A few weeks ago, Victor Smolski presented his new band ALMANAC, following his passion for neo-classical, orchestral metal, to continue on the path that ended up with the LINGUA MORTRIS ORCHESTRA debut »LMO«.
Now he’s very pleased to announce their signing with Nuclear Blast Records. Mastermind Victor Smolski comments on the signing: “After ten years of cooperation with Nuclear Blast, a friendship evolved. Nuclear Blast trusted in me a lot for my work as composer and producer of the Nuclear Blast Allstars INTO THE LIGHT, RAGE and LMO records. Because of that, I will continue with my new band ALMANAC together with the established team of Nuclear Blast. I hope that our previous successes will continue with ALMANAC. I want to thank all fans for supporting me over the years.”
The recording sessions for the upcoming debut album are set this year, too. Victor Smolski reveals: “Everyone who liked my LMO songs and the RAGE songs, I wrote in my 15 year membership, like 'Soundchaser', 'Down', 'Suite Lingua Mortis', 'Forever Dead', 'Straight To Hell', 'Empty Hollow' and many more, can look forward for the new ALMANAC songs. I’m totally motivated to present you our new album with such an amazing line up in 2016!“
The band already debuted live on the 'Musikmesse Frankfurt' in April, presenting the new line-up for the very first time. First impressions of ALMANAC with all members can be watched here:
