Himsa Post Album Update

Himsa have posted the following update reguarding their new album entitled, "Summon In Thunder", which will be released September 18th on Century Media records, the band's new label. "Summon In Thunder" has the music produced by Steve Carter, the vocals being produced by Devin Townsend (Darkest Hour, Lamb of God), and the mixing and mastering being done by Tue Madsen (The Haunted).

Derek Harn (bass) states: “”Summon In Thunder” was paid for in blood, sweat and fury. Over 5 weeks straight of 20-hour days, and metal masters from three countries worked tirelessly under tight deadlines to create this monster. It was pure — but ultimately rewarding — anguish. In the end, it all paid off, and the intensity of the recording process carries through the album like a horde of stampeding wildebeests.
During our endless hours in the studio, we had a great idea for a video that we couldn’t pass up and decided to make this our first enhanced CD. The video is for our shortest, thrashiest song, “Unleash Carnage”, and is truly one of the grossest, most ridiculous displays in all of metaldom. Also on the CD, we included video footage on the making of the album, sort of a diary of how the process was working out at the time. To top it off, we put lots of pretty pictures of us in a photo gallery, so all the girls can make posters of us and hang them on their bedroom walls.

Speaking of pretty pictures, the ever-masterful Paul Romano (Mastodon, The Red Chord) created all the art and design for this album’s packaging. He researched what ancient cultures believed created thunder in the heavens and worked closely with Pettibone’s lyrics to create the imagery of mythological creatures and the power of nature’s dark wrath. It’s amazing art.

We are incredibly proud of this album and feel it’s a pure representation of who we are as individuals and as a band. We are anxious to get back out on the road and see all our friends across the globe.”
