Dream Evil Launches "Gold Medal In Metal" DVD Trailer, New Song Online, Band Working On New Material

Swedish melodic metal band DREAM EVIL released "Gold Medal In Metal (Alive & Archive)," their first live-release as DVD and CD earlier this year. The set includes a comprehensive bonus-CD compilation of more than an hour of quality rare and unreleased studio tracks. The band has now released a brand-new trailer for this release, which can be viewed below (after the jump).

Furthermore, the title track of this release, "Gold Medal In Metal," which is one of the many previously unreleased studio tracks included on the "Bronze Medal" disc has been launched on the band's MySpace page. "Gold Medal In Metal" was originally written and recorded as part of the sessions for the classic album "The Book Of Heavy Metal."

The double-CD, with a laying time of over 2 hours, and the special DVD version (playing time of the DVD is over 100 minutes and both audio CD's are included in this package as well) are a complete guide into the vaults of DREAM EVIL

Currently, DREAM EVIL is working on material for a new studio album and guitarist / producer Fredrik Nordström checks in with a short status report and end-of-the-year message:

"We are right now writing songs for the next album with the working title "In The Night". I believe that the release date will be before Summer of next year. As usual will we prepare approximately 30 songs and take the 15 best for recording. We will enter the studio on December 8th to start recording 4-5 songs and then continue in. Other than that, I can tell you that the DREAM EVIL camp now has 11 kids in total (MINI EVIL will start touring 2020, haha) and 2 of them are not even one year old, so we will have to wait some more before we can do longer tours again, but those who are waiting for some good stuff shall not remain waiting for too long. Consequently we are working on some shorter tours and festival appearances around the planet. So have a heavy metal fistmas and a sloppy new year!!!"
