ANATA GIVE RECORDING UPDATE

Swedish death metal masters ANATA have posted an update from the studio on
the recording process of their upcoming new album.

ANATA drummer CONNY PETTERSSON gives the final update regarding the
recording of the drums in his studio diary:

"This was the final recording day. We started by changing the snare head and
Jens tuned all the drums into perfection as every other day. I had two
tracks left to do. I started with Greed conquers all; the first track
written for this album. It's a fast killer track and also one of my
favourites. It has a small part sometime after its first guitar solo, where
the drums and guitars go a little crazy. We did several takes for this part
and both Fredrik and I thought it sounded as it should. Jens still wanted me
to play more and more and Fredrik said: "I think Conny have done 5 or 6
perfect takes now in a row, I can't hear what is wrong." But Jens is not
satisfied with everything only being in time; he also wants the drums to
sound right in a way we couldn't understand. Fredrik went nervous and walked
out of the control room. And I struggled some more and suddenly Jens was
happy. We have always believed that we were the worst perfectionists
possible, and people would tell us; "No one will hear the difference
anyway." But now it was the other way around."

Following on from 2006's THE CONDUCTOR'S DEPARTURE, ANATA's as-yet-untitled
fifth full-length album is being recorded in two locations, with the drums
being recorded at Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, PARADISE
LOST) in Orebro, Sweden, while the guitars, bass and vocals will all be
recorded by the band themselves with their own equipment.

ANATA have revealed a tentative track listing for the upcoming album, in no
particular order:

Lanterns Shine Black
Acts Of God
The Darkest Of Souls
The Part Of Me That Had To Die
A Welcome Change Of Pain
Machinery
Exploited And Left To Die
Greed Conquers All
