IMAGIKA Announces New Guitarist
Commented guitarist Steve Rice: "The band was impressed with Rob's ability to learn our material quickly and his killer guitar skills. IMAGIKA will sound even more aggressive now and we look forward to our future collaboration as we start the writing for our next CD.
"Rob came in at a great time on the eve of our new release, 'Portrait Of A Hanged Man', which we believe is our best release to date. The fans can definitely expect a heavier, louder and faster IMAGIKA!"
"Portrait Of A Hanged Man" will be released on March 19 in Europe and May 11 in the U.S. via Metalville. The CD was recorded at Fang Studios in San Mateo, California by IMAGIKA guitarist Steve Rice and was mixed at KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque's Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden. In addition to mixing the effort, La Rocque makes a guest appearance on the instrumental "A God No More". Drummer Henry Moreno was once again responsible for designing all the art for the CD (see cover image below), which marks the recording debut of new bassist Jim Pegram.
The song "The Hit" is available for streaming at this location (scroll down in music player).
Commented Moreno: "Well, obviously the [artwork] concept had to be something to do with the CD title so I created the first piece which was a person with a noose around their neck but it didn't have that 'CD cover' feel. Metalville and Steve made some suggestions and one thing they came up with was what if the hanging man was a silhouette. I thought that was a cool idea and ran with that and really just followed the theme of the song, which is about a person seeing the haunting vision of a portrait of man being hanged that comes to life. Metalville and the band really liked the finished product and so the CD cover was born! The original first piece is also included in the CD booklet.
"I really had fun with this project and I believe it's some of the best work I have done so far. I hope the fans enjoy it as much as we do."
