SUSPERIA US RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED

Philadelphia: Candlelight Records confirms June 29 as the US release date for the new album from Norway's Susperia. Titled Unlimited, it is the third full-length album from the growing melodic metal band.

With Unlimited, Susperia’s musical charm is fully realized with a sonic epic that is sure to be one of the year’s most talked about albums. Recorded at Subsonic Society Studios in Oslo and Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Soilwork) in Gothenburg, Sweden, Unlimited has already gathered substantial critical acclaim throughout Europe. And with a video recently filmed for album track “Chemistry,” Susperia’s time to fully conquer US audiences is now.

Vocalist Althera says, "we know there's been problems in the past getting hold of our albums in the US, but that's all history now. It's time to look forward and we're real happy that fans in the states are gonna get the chance to hear and buy our new album. We're pleased with the result and Europe seems to agree with us - so satisfy your curiosity."

Formed in 1999 by exiting Dimmu Borgir Drummer Tjodalv, Susperia found themselves part of a massive 10-label bidding war. The initial victor being Nuclear Blast. Their first album, Predominance, reportedly sold over 10,000 units it is first three months of worldwide release. Tours in support of In Flames, Nevermore, Lacuna Coil and Dimmu Borgir would place the band in front of excited audiences throughout Europe, with their single US performance coming via the annual Milwaukee Metal Fest. The band’s second album, Vindication, would follow and equally impressed fans and critics. But a change was in the air. Signing with Tabu Records (recently confirming US license with Candlelight for the Americas) in late 2003, Susperia, completed by bass guitarist Memnock, guitarists Elvorn and Cyrus and vocalist Athera, have rearmed and are set to expand their grasp on the music that has impressed so many in relatively short time.

With feature stories already confirmed for Metal Maniacs and Brave Words Bloody Knuckles, Unlimited is already setting up for a solid run for its US release. The band are looking to tour the US for first time in late 2004/early 2005. Watch for details.

Track listing for Unlimited: Chemistry, The Coming Past, Situational Awareness, Devil May Care, Off the Grid, Years of Infinity, Home Sweet Hell, Mind Apart, Beast by Design, Untouched.

Candlelight Records, with offices in Philadelphia and headquartered in London, is distributed exclusively in the US by Caroline Distribution; in Canada by PHD Canada; throughout the rest of the world by Plastichead Music Distribution.
