PRE-ORDER: Signum Regis "Beyond Spacetime" LP (Sunny Yellow Vinyl)

SIGNUM REGIS was founded in 2007 and stands for finest melodic Power Metal with both progressive and symphonic elements. Their upcoming new and eighth studio album "Beyond Spacetime" will be released on October 9th through Fireflash Records and will feature different vocalists. Among them their current singer Mayo Petranen, who just returned to the band, his successor Jota Fortinho as well as top class names, such as Ripper Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST), Matt Smith (THEOCRACY), Ralf Scheepers (PRIMAL FEAR), Johnny Gioeli (HARDLINE, AXEL RUDI PELL), Tasos Lazaris (STEEL ARCTUS, WHITE WIZZARD), David Åkesson (SYMPHONITY; QUANTICE), but also Victor Smolski (ALMANAC, ex-RAGE), with a guitar solo on the first single-release "Throne Of Gold". "We are so satisfied and proud of it! Even though the last 3 years were not easy for the band, this is definitely not just a "next" Signum Regis" album, we are a band, we are always aiming to create something special - for us and for fans", comments guitarist Filip Koluš, who also mixed and produced the album. The final mastering was given into the hands of Miro Kiiski (BEAST IN BLACK; HYPOCRISY a.o.), which was another perfect match. "Beyond Spacetime" is full of diversity. You will find uptempo power metal hymns, epic and progressive tracks, true metal fist-raisers, neo-classic inspired stuff and beautiful ballads. All the different voices fit perfectly, although this wasn't supposed in the first place SIGNUM REGIS was always connected to fantasy lyrics, legends and myths. On "Beyond Spacetime" they even go further, right into space, but also back in time. "Just as much as with the music, we pushed the envelope with the lyrics as well. On "Beyond Spacetime" they reflect both personal and universal experiences. You will certainly find some of the most daring, introspective lyrics ever to appear on our albums", says Tommy König, who wrote parts of the lyrics. "Beyond Spacetime" is rounded up by an excellent artwork from Uwe Jarling, known for his work for acts like HEAVEN'S GATE, GRAVE DIGGER or recently FRONT ROW WARRIORS. "The result is awesome! We are definitely a band that considers the artwork a very important part of our artistic vision. Over the years this approach has only grown stronger, so having a real cover artist has become an absolute must for us", comments Tommy. SIGNUM REGIS will celebrate their 20th anniversary next year. "Beyond Spacetime" already feels like kind of a best-of journey through their past, present and future. "We grew up on the values of traditional melodic metal - this focus will most probably never change", says Filip Koluš and explains: "At the same time, we are also a group of great friends, who have a common goal - to make the best quality metal music together."
