Atlanta, Georgia-based metallers Halcyon Way have completed the writing process for their fourth album, to be released in the second half of 2013. The as-yet-untitled follow-up to IndoctriNation [Nightmare Records] will once again feature the hook- and riff-infused brand of metal Halcyon Way has been notorious for.
Halcyon Way‘s new album is being produced by the band’s own Jon Bodan [guitar], while Lasse Lammert will once again handle mixing. Additionally, the group will work for the first time with Seth Von Paulus, the vocal engineer who has worked with names such as Alicia Keys,Christina Aguilera and Smashing Pumpkins, among others.
“We’re all very excited about the material that we have in our hands,” says Bodan. “We believe that this will be our best release yet, and with bothLasse and Seth onboard, I believe this will be the album that will help cement the Halcyon Way brand once and for all.”
In touring news, Halcyon Way will hit the road in North America as the support act for U.D.O., the German metal band fronted by former Accept vocalist Udo Dirkschneider. The ten-show trek kicks off on April 9 in Amityville, New York and runs for eleven days throughout the Northeastern/Midwestern U.S. and Canada.
