Guitarist Victor Smolski’s new band ALMANAC have finished the pre-production on their debut album, which is set to be released in early 2016 via Nuclear Blast, and are now preparing to enter the studio for the recording sessions.
The band is documenting the creation of the new release and fans can watch the first part of their studio vlog here:
ALMANAC main man Victor spoke about the band's excitement for this new project:
“Fans with an interest in deeper subjects including history and culture will also be able to dive into a new world withour first album, which combines historic and modern parallels that will surprise many. From the warlike nomadic horsemen in the steppes of Russia, to the Tsardom, Ivan the Terrible, warlike Cossacks who dominate the Tatar, the siege of Constantinople and the Mongol invasion are stories about battles, wars, intrigue, conquest, terror, power and love that can be heard vocally using the different styles of our voices. The first phase is already done, now we are currently engaged in working on the arrangements of the songs. We're thrilled about this first release and of the many albums to come commencing from spring 2016, also we are very eager to let loose the mighty power of ALMANAC to the people, on many different platforms as possible as well as on stage.”
