Rudra Completes Recording Of New Album; Second Installment Of The "Brahmavidya" Trilogy

Singapore's long-running Vedic metallers Rudra have completed work on their forthcoming as-yet-untitled album, which according to that band will be the second installment in the "Brahmavidya" trilogy. The album will be mixed by Joshua and Sean of Black Isle Studios and mastered by the indomitable Alan Douches (Nile, Mastadon, Sepultura, every album ever). The band is aiming for a January 2009 release on Trinity Records Hong Kong. Known for their trailblazing approach to extreme metal (that of combining traditional classical Indian melodies with a potent blend of black metal, thrash and death), Rudra are already hard at work on their next album, the third and final chapter of the trilogy, and promise to deliver a "fusion Vedic metal rock" album.
