"Greetings all! We are proud to see the reviews of 'Monument Black Colossal' and that we are now starting to receive gig offers! But Netherbird is a restless beast and we have already started working with our third full length album that will be called 'R.I.D.,' the full title will be announced later!
"The first sample was posted a while ago but for those that haven't heard it, do give it a spin! Some media thought it was yet another preview of 'Monument Black Colossal' but it is indeed the basic structures of some of the songs from the NEXT album. These are basic demo tracks that Bizmark has composed and shortly me and him will do the vocal arrangements and then we will rehearse this beast before we record during autumn! Enjoy!" More...

Netherbird Parts Ways With Drummer
Sweden's Netherbird has checked in with the following announcement about parting ways with their drummer Adrian Erlandsson:
"Greetings friends, we have a line-up change in the ranks of Netherbird! Due to his jam packed touring schedule which sees Adrian Erlandsson doing extensive touring with Paradise Lost, Brujeria and Nemhain we have mutually decided that he will no longer be a full time member of Netherbird. Netherbird now starts to hit the live stages and will require more time from all members and it is therefore no longer possible for Adrian to act as our full time drummer. We are of course sad since he was a very vital part both of the sound and the great chemistry that is the basis for this band but sometimes practical issues makes it necessary to make alterations no matter how painful. Adrian is a close friend and we will miss greatly and we will proudly keep supporting our good friend in all ways, always!
"His replacement is already found and Erik Röjås (also drummer in Swedish melodic thrash act Decadence) will now hammer the drums for Netherbird both live and in the studio! We know we have found a worthy replacement and we are proud to welcome him into the ranks of this dark beast. Despite his mere 22 years of age he has already years of experience both from the studio and in the live environment so we are confident he has what it takes! So we hope you all will give him a warm welcome! Erik will of course also carry on as the drummer for Decadence! See you all soon!"
Netherbird Posts Another Album Trailer

Netherbird Posts New Album Teaser Trailer
Sweden's Netherbird has posted a teaser trailer online for their upcoming third album, which can be found after the jump. The band has also issued the following statement about the upcoming album:
"Right now we have the basis for the third Netherbird album written in the sense that guitarist Bizmark has made the basic demo tracks where he has put down two guitar tracks, keyboards, basic bass and drum tracks! The process is now that I (Nephente) will give these tracks proper names and write my lyrics for them. Then me and Bizmark will do some tests in the studio with my lyrical sketches and we might extended certain parts, delete others until we have tunes we feel are ‘done’. Then the rest of the guys will arrange their parts but I will return to the next step in the process…
"But now YOU have the chance to hear some short excerpts from the tracks I got from Bizmark, so what you hear is what I hear! So right now I am listening to the full length demos to give them names and to write the basic lyrics for them, next step me and Bizmark will sit down to try these ideas out! But that is for the next report! Our goal is to have it all recorded and done sometime during early autumn but the release date is most likely a bit later! Enough of my words, start the player and hear some of the stuff that will end up on our third full length album! Horns up!" More...

Below you find the four candidates, make a comment where you state which one you like the most and then we will count the votes on December the 10th and the one with most votes gets included!
"We hope all enjoyed contributing even if you didn't get picked this time around! You are truly amazing and we are damn fortunate to have friends such as YOU!

Netherbird Seeking Fan For Music Video

"Netherbird has always been, and will always be, about the most important aspect of our music: YOU. It is the listeners that makes us matter, the people who listen to our distorted tones and wicked riddles that makes us go on, always. Back in 2008 we released the online ep/mcd 'Lighthouse Eternal (Laterna Magika)' where we placed almost 4000 photos, one for each friend we had on myspace in those days. Today there are 86.000+ friends so that is no longer possible for us... but we will do something equally new to let each and everyone interested to be part of our art able to be seen!
"We are done recording our next mcd humbly entitled 'Monument Black Colossal' and one of the songs will have a very special video where YOU will be the most important part! So what we now want is for you to either send a photo or a video (webcam, hd, digicam whatever) and we will proudly put you into it! That way you will be a part of something that will be around for damn long time: Netherbird. Participate using a photo - Upload it on our website here. You will also be seen on the website from the time you upload the photo. More...
