A MUSICAL CONCEPT ALBUM WRITTEN BY SAMUEL ARKAN
«ORIGINS » is a concept album. Each song is based on an original story written by Samuel Arkan. The album relates the adventure of a profiler conducting a dark and disturbing investigation. His routine will fast be broken by unusual happenings as the story gradually unfolds, through thrilling and fantastic events.
The recording process is going on a the moment, and Oddleif will have to travel to Brussels 20/05, to record his vocal parts for the project.
"I have been getting the honor to "play" the darkest character in Origins. This will be a great task, and a challenge to do something different, unique and explore the deep within myself as a vocalist. I will surely discover new dimensions to my vocal through this project." - Oddleif Stensland.

Communic will play Samfest Rock in Satu Mare, Romania, 10-11 July 2009.
Another gig has been added. We will play at Skuret in Oslo, 28/03, together with "Illusion Suite" and "Frail Ground". Its been a long time since we played in Oslo so this will be fun. Cheers!
We will play at Club Wasteland in Gävle, Sweden, 27th of March.
This will be the first time that we play in Sweden, so this is something that we have been looking forward to.
Our Swedish friends in Machinery are also on the bill + we bring special guests"Deafmazjiin" with us for the gig. Expect a dark and progressive evening in the name of metal...

Oddleif has recorded vocals for a guest appearance on the new album for the Italian band "THROUGH YOUR SILENCE". The band is in the studio right now and it will hit the world like a bomb. The band is a multi-dimensional metal band mixing extreme Death/Black Metal riffing and massive keyboards/symphonic parts.

Been quiet from our hand lately, but that don't mean that we have been totally asleep. I have started to record some rough demos of some new songs, so we have a new album in mind, but I have no idea when it will see the light of day yet.

Another year is blown away, and it has been a year full of highlights for Communic, and also on the personal level - even dough we didn't went on a tour this year.
This year we released our 3rd album, and at the same evening as the listening party for our album - I became a first time father to a beautiful girl that now already is nine months old. We was working to get a cool tour going to promote the album, but the right offer did not come our way, and in one way I'm glad. I have had the opportunitie to stay home with my daughter and spend as much time as possible on the family duties, I even got the guts to finally get married this winter! But, we had some great experiences on the stage as well. We played some cool festivals like Bloodstock, Masters Of Rock among others, and we even got to visit a new country when we played a festival in Lithuania this summer.
So, what's up for 2009 - well right now we don't know, but I have started to write new songs that I have big hopes for - and a lyrical concept that I think will be amazing - and not what you actually would expect from us. I cant promise a release in 2009, as we want to play more live gigs next year, get on as many summer festivals as possible, and hopefully a tour, and then after that focus on putting the new album out.
Now it is only a few hours until the new year kicks in, and I will like to thank everyone that has supported us along the way, and to all our loyal fans that makes us continue with what we love.
CHEERS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM COMMUNIC.
