"Quarto Vazio" is the title of
the new digital EP from the Portuguese atmospheric metal band Painted
Black. The EP is the follow up to their debut album "Cold Comfort",
released in 2010.
Produced
entirely by the band with the contribution of producer Pedro Mendes of
UltraSound Studios (Braga, Portugal) and mastered by Australian
producer Mark Kelson (The Eternal) at his Kelsonic Studios (in
Melbourne, Australia), also includes Marcelo Aires (Heavenwood, Colosso)
as session drummer.
The new record explores a more Rock oriented sound, but without diverging from the band's characteristic sound.
In
addition to the title track sung entirely in Portuguese, the Ep still
includes a cover song of "O Hábito Faz O Monstro" of the Portuguese cult
pop/rock band Rádio Macau, and a cover song of the track "The Perfect
Drug" of the American band Nine Inch Nails.
The
band is currently preparing concerts to promote their new EP and are
planning to enter the studio in 2014 to begin the recording of their
second album, still with no scheduled release date.
The EP "Quarto Vazio" and its entire artwork can be downloaded for free at Painted Black's official website www.painted-black.org and is available for listening at the band's YouTube and SoundCloud channels.
