More to follow.Check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwHSFKNEYhI http://www.communic.org The Norwegian metalers from COMMUNIC are back with their new album “The Bottom Deep” which is simply breath-taking! The music of the exceptional band from Norway includes many elements from various metal genres. Their grasp for variety of power, melody, and intelligent lyrics with a highly progressive musical approach made COMMUNIC one of the best newcomers for years! If you like progressiv metal, there is no way without COMMUNIC!! Now, the band announced the tracklist and the artwork of the upcoming album: 01. Facing Tomorrow 02. Denial03. Flood River Blood04. Voyage Of Discovery05. In Silence With My Scars06. My Fallen07. Destroyer Of Bloodlines08. Wayward Soul09. The Bottom Deep10. Bonus Track: In Union We Stand Guitarist and band mastermind Oddleif Stensland commented  the new stuff: “Writing and recording this album has been an amazing - but strange experience. This time we took control over the production ourself, resulting in a more honest and organic sounding album. Never before have I put so much of my own personal influence and privacy into the lyrics and songs as this time. Right now I have a mixed feeling of fear and total excitement as we release the artwork and track listing for this new album. Now there is no return. To open myself this way, exposing my deepest and inner thoughts, in a way I have never done before. Its kinda strange, as it feels like these words and songs came from a part of me that I didn't know about. This is “The Bottom Deep”. This is the album that I never in my life thought I had to write – but now I know, this will be a totem in my life – forever!” Dan Swanö did the mastering on this album, he said: "It was pure pleasure to work with these guys. The mix was excellent to start with, so I finally had the opportunity to work with gentle strokes rather than the big roller that I sometimes have to use to shape-up not-so-good mixes. Musically I enjoyed it very much. It's not easy to label their music (which is good). If I had to mention something, I get that amazing "epic" vibe of Queensryche 84-88. They definitely add something to the family of progressive metal" Eliran Kantor made the artwork for the album: "The first draft of the lyrics from Oddleif made it clear that this is going to be a very personal, dark and vulnerable record - and I wanted the cover to reflect that. The vulture, nature's version of the grim reaper, caresses the dying man, casting a shadow reveling its true intentions and reason for this last visit. I put alot of myself into this artwork, and I think it turned out great" „The Bottom Deep“ will be released July 22, 2011! http://www.communic.org Now, we have finally got the Communic shop up and running. Check it out under the Merchendise button. Along with the new album, with an expected release this summer, there will be some new and cool products available. http://www.communic.org We have completed the work in studio, the new album is ready, and the result is simply amazing.

The title for the new album has been set to: THE BOTTOM DEEP.Eliran Kantor (www.elirankantor.com) has been chosen to create the artwork for the album. Release will be in June 2011, and we are really exited about it all.Oddleif http://www.communic.org Norwegian metallers COMMUNIC are currently preparing the final writing details for their follow-up to 2008's "PAYMENT OF EXISTENCE". The band is planning to start the recording process early 2011. The band is hoping for a June 2011 release.Comments Oddleif: "I am really excited about this new material that we have put together for this new album. There is still some work left, but we are getting closer. I think the heaviness of these songs will surprise many of you, and the overall feeling of it, is way darker this time. The songs are shorter, more in your face and may seem straight forward at first, but there are many twists and turns that will just creep under your skin. This album is DEEP!I know that many of you have been waiting for this album for a long time already, but everything has its time, and the time is now. Never before have I left so much of "myself" in our songs - never before has the price been so high - this album will be really special". http://www.communic.org We are wokring hard on writing songs for the next Communic album these days. More about this in this tread: COMMUNIC FORUM http://www.communic.org We are playing Masters Of Rock 17/07 in CZ and are really looking forward to play this cool festival again. We played there back in 2008 and had a great time. This will be a blast. http://www.communic.org Hi all, sorry for the silence, but a personal tragic incident forced me to take a step back and focus on something else for a while. Good news is that we are slowly getting it back on track again these days.Thanks to everyone who are patiently waiting for some more "Communic-action".

I will surely discover new dimensions to my vocal through this project." - Oddleif Stensland.Musicians...Guitars – Samuel Arkan (Virus IV)Keyboards – Julien Spreutels (Ethernity, Sapphire)Drums – Léo Margarit (Pain of Salvation)Bass – Kristoffer Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation, Dial)Solo guitars – Christophe Godin (Morglbl, Metal Katoon, 2G)Vocalists/CharactersKelly Sundown (Beyond Twilight, Outworld)Oddleif Stensland (Communic, Scariot)Magali Luyten (Ayreon, Beautiful Sin, Virus IV)Rick Altzi (Thunderstone, At Vance)Liselotte Hegt “Lilo” (Ayreon, Valentine, Dial)www.myspace.com/origins_music http://www.communic.org Communic will play Samfest Rock in Satu Mare, Romania, 10-11 July 2009. http://www.communic.org Another gig has been added.

Expect a dark and progressive evening in the name of metal...http://www.olearyslive.se/live.phpCommunic http://www.communic.org 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. www.myspace.com/throughyoursilence http://www.communic.org 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. Oddleif http://www.communic.org 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.Oddleif Stensland http://www.communic.org Mayones Guitars just put up Oddleif's personal profile page on their web site.
