10,000 Years Finish Recording New Album III
Swedish riffcrunchers 10,000 Years have reportedly finished recording their next full-length, titled III, for release sometime later this year. No fewer than three different labels are on board to back the project, which is the second long-player from the trio behind last year’s II (review here) and their prior self-titled debut EP (review here), which came out in 2020.
To this point, they’ve worked pretty quickly from one outing to the next, as you can tell — for context, the entirety of their discography has come out “post-pandemic” — but if you heard the EP and subsequent album, you don’t need me to tell you there was palpable growth between the first and second releases.
The band announced they were done in a kind of short social media check-in, so I decided to bother bassist/vocalist Alex Risberg to find out more and he was kind enough to elucidate as follows:
The recording of ”III” is officially done. Due out later this year via Death Valley Records, Interstellar Smoke Records & Olde Magick Records.
We recorded the new album over three days in Studio Sunlight with Tomas Skogsberg producing. The material feels like a natural continuation and evolution from the last album. We’ve taken the stuff we feel worked best, like the thrasy High On Fire type stuff and the more epic stuff like ”Dark Side Of The Earth” and expanded on that. And there’s some weird stuff on there too.
As the title suggests its the third and final part of the Albatross trilogy. It ends with the remaining crew taking the ship back out into space back Through the wormhole in order to close it and it ends when they pass through so you never know If they made it or what happens.
CD/digital: Death Valley Records
Vinyl: Interstellar Smoke Records
Tape: Olde Magick Records
The mastering will be done by Magnus Andersson and the art by Negative Crypt Artwork.
No releasedate yet
We’re extremely happy with How it all came out and its quite an insane Record. Superstoked to get it out and hopefully people will dig it as much as we do.
