Demo versions of two new songs from French neo-classical metallers Adiago — Torn and Carry The Cross — can be streamed below. The tracks — which feature the vocals of American singer Kelly Sundown Carpenter, who has previously worked with Beyond Twilight, Outworld and Darkology — will appear on Adiago‘s next album, to be released later in the year.

Adiago in 2010 recruited Swedish vocalist Mats Levén [Krux, Yngwie Malmsteen, Therion, Treat] to sing for the band during the Kamelot tour following the departure of Finnish frontman Christian Palin [Essence Of Sorrow / Beyond Belief and Random Eyes].

Archangels In Black, the latest album from Adiago, was released in February 2009 via Listenable Records. The cover artwork was created by Guilherme Sevens and the CD was mastered at the Cutting Room in Sweden with Björn Engelmann [ Rammsttein, Meshuggah].

According to a press release, “without being a concept album, ‘Archangels In Black’ evokes the band’s convictions about a certain Nightside philosophy and a very personal approach of life and death.”Forté says, “Darkness is a concept with many branches, often misunderstood from outside, but elemental for some kind.”

Archangels In Black was the first — and last — CD to feature Christian Palin.
