Italian power metal act Mastercastle, featuring Athlantis guitarist Pier Gonella and Athlantis/Tragedian bassist Steve Vawamas, has announced that the band's fifth studio effort will be entitled "Enfer De La Bibliothèque Nationale." The album is targeted for a fall release via Scarlet Records.

Founded in 2008 by guitarist Gonella (Necrodeath) and vocalist Giorgia Gueglio, Mastercastle soon became one of the leading forces in the European Power/Neoclassical Metal scene, thanks to "an addictive mix of strong riffs, virtuoso guitar solos and captivating female vocals, developed through each of their four, critically acclaimed albums." After having signed a new deal with Scarlet Records, Mastercastle are currently in the studio to complete the recordings of the new album.

This album was inspired by the different meanings and aspects of "censorship," and has been described by the band as their heaviest effort to date, while still maintaining the trademark sound. A special guest appearance will be made by Andrea De Paoli, keyboardist for Labyrinth has been confirmed.

More information on the new album is expected soon.
