Engel - Gallows Tree

Swedish metallers ENGEL released the first single "The Condemned" from the upcoming album “Abandon all Hope” on March 2nd and now it´s time for the follow up, “Gallows Tree”, watch and stream it below.

"Abandon All Hope" is the band's fifth upcoming studio album, which will be released on May 11.

Recorded and mixed at Crehate Studios in Gothenburg by Oscar Nilsson, Marcus Sunesson, Mikael Sehlin and Steve Drennan, together with musical director Niclas Engelin (also of IN FLAMES), "Abandon All Hope" was mastered at Panic Room by Thomas "Plec" Johansson. The collaboration was fruitful, resulting in what is probably ENGEL's strongest album to date.

Engelin comments: "When people hear this album, I think they're going to instantly know that it's the new ENGEL without us repeating the same song over and over, and that's something the band is incredibly proud of."

Today's tune "Gallows Tree", the video was directed by René U Valdes, enjoy!

Rammstein - Engel

Sunday, time for a classic tune!

"Engel" (German for Angel) is a song by German Industrial metal band RAMMSTEIN. The song was released as the first single from their second album Sehnsucht. An English version of Engel can be found on US special editions of the Sehnsucht album.

A regular during the Sehnsucht tour, it was used as the last song of the main set in non-festival concerts. In the first months of the Mutter tour, "Engel" appeared in the setlists sporadically, but became a regular again in November, and continued as the last song of the main set until the end of the tour.

When performed on stage, flames shoot into the air, and Schneider's drumsticks would shoot sparks. On the 'Live aus Berlin' shows, Bobolina joins RAMMSTEIN to sing her parts from inside a flaming cage, instead of the usual pre-recorded chorus used in most of the shows. After missing the entire Reise, Reise tour; "Engel" returned to the setlists as the closing song of the Liebe Ist Für Alle Da tour, taking place during 2009 and 2011. This time around, vocalist Till Lindemann sang the chorus instead of Bobo's pre-recorded lines. For the pyrotechnics, Lindemann wears a set of angel wings that shoot flames from the tips and that have sparks go off along them. Engel was the penultimate song on the setlist during the Made in Germany tour.

"Rammstein In Amerika" (DVD & Blu-ray), a lavish package containing a major new documentary about the band, "Rammstein In Amerika"; a short film about the making of their "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" album; and the whole of their legendary Madison Square Garden show.

RAMMSTEIN were formed in 1993 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. They took their name (adding an "m") from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show.
(The literal translation of "ram stein" is a battering ram made of stone.)

See the Live clip below to catch the Engel costume and fire!

Guitarist Marcus Sunesson commented on the video: “The ground crumbles, the skies darken and the hills shake as the last music on earth is heard from a mountain top. Four dark figures, still standing. Sounds that paint a fitting masterpiece to accompany the elemental chaos. There is no Sanctuary from the apocalypse, no Salvation. And yet, that is precisely what they offer. Speaking not of good or evil, instead they offer stark reality”.

Marcus Sunesson (THE CROWN) - Guitar
Niclas Engelin (IN FLAMES, DRÖMRIKET, PASSENGER, GARDENIAN) - Guitar
Mikael Sehlin (DEGRADEAD) - Vocals

This is a tune that comes from 2007 that I like :D

Engel - Feed The Weak

Today we break the pattern again and check out what happened last week when Engel opened up for Arch Enemy at Tyrol, Stockholm.

It was a really enjoyable day on Tyrol and a really nice visit by Engel as well as the good friend Steve Drennan. Were we talking about everything between heaven and earth. However, the focus was on the construction of the Arch Enemy stage set that in the end was really neat, more about Arch Enemy tomorrow when Thetania talks about the gig. Rosenhill who was the winner of Arch Enemy local support act contest opened up the evening at Tyrol, it was actually quite ok.

A fairly common sight nowadays is that vacancies musicians go out and tour with other bands as a technician, this time it was, "Mas (Masmiseim)" bassist from Samael who was lighting technician for Arch Enemy and Engel. A really cool guy and he had either ADHD or something else, as he was like a Duracell rabbit :)

Then it was time for Engel to show where the cabinet should stand and they did in earnest, the whole band looked incredibly tagged and were really tight, not surprising when one has been on the road with Pain (A report on Pain's gig will be in next week). That Niclas Engelin not playing live did´nt really matter cos Marcus Sunesson does a great job live. Engel really turn on the audience and warms them up properly before it is time for the main act. The final word to Engel, You did an exquisite performance!

Engel is a melodic death metal/industrial band with alternative Influences from Gothenburg, Sweden. They are Currently signed to Frenchtown label Season of Mist. The band shared the stage with Still Remains, and toured around Europe with Amon Amarth and Dimmu Borgir. They were also part of Paradise Lost's "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" tour, along with Katatonia and Samael. Last tour they did before Arch Enemy was with Pain.

Former bass player Michael Håkansson left the band on August 14, 2008 to pursue other opportunities. Steve Drennan (Amon Amarth) took over playing bass during November 2008. During 2010, the band replaced their drummer, Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen with Jimmy Olausson, who also plays drums for Marionette

At the moment Engel putting together album number three, scheduled to be released in spring next year, hoping that it is not causes trouble for themselves as it did last time with that release.

During this gig, I actually had "Big Mama" with me so today I can offer you some decent pictures.

Here are some photos:

If you wanna see more pictures of Engel, check out Tune Of The Day on Facebook.

Current Line Up:

Magnus "Mangan" Klavborn – vocals (2002–present)
Niclas Engelin – guitar (2002–present)

Todays tune "Feed The Weak" is taken from the second album "Threnody"
This is the final Engel release with Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen on drums.
Threnody was finished by the end of 2008, but due to issues with their former label, SPV GmbH, the release of the album was delayed.

In Flames - Deliver Us

This is In Flames new singel from their forthcoming album

”Sounds Of A Playground Fading”.
In Flames have done 10 studio albums since 1994 and the 9th album with Anders on vocals and their first without Jesper Strömblad.
Their old guitarist Niclas Engelin is back, but his band Engel is still on going.

Its gonna be exiting how they sounds like without Jesper,
cos he brought a lot to that band.
As I told u before Jesper is in the band Dimension Zero & The Resistance now.

According to Anders, this album will feature increasingly wide vocal registers and reduced screams and growls.
In addition, some of the album's songs "pretty much go against the hard rock formula.”
Sounds of a Playground Fading is the band's longest album to date. Niclas isnt playing on this Album though.
Roberto Laghi is the producer of the album.

Their current members are
Anders Friden (1995-present) - vocals
Björn Gelotte (1995-present) - guitar, drums (1995-1998)
Niclas Engelin (1997-1998, 2011-present)* - guitar
Peter Iwers (1997-present) - bass
Daniel Svensson (1998-present) - drums

Lets Hear them!

Cheers, Thetania
