Lullacry To Release New EP In August

Century Media report that LULLACRY, Finland´s leading female-fronted gothic heavy rock act , will release their new EP, Fire Within, through the label on August 23rd.

The release is a warm-up for the recordings of the band’s next album and for their upcoming tour with NIGHTWISH in the US. The EP features two new tracks, ‘Fire Within’ and ‘The #1 Rebel’, plus two remakes of some classic Lullacry tracks and a cover of W.A.S.P.'s ‘L.O.V.E. Machine’.

Guitarist Sami Vauhkonen sends a message to the fans:

"After our last album Crucify My Heart we did many shows in Finland, Italy, USA & Estonia and it brought lots of self-assurance for Tanja. Her voice is now awesome and she is one hell of a rocker! Fire Within is a logical continuation after touring cause it´s a very heavy rockish piece of energy!!!! We had lots of new songs ready in the beginning of 2004, so we decided to release an EP. We had no pressure whatsoever and we just did five songs for it. Two brand new songs and three special semi-acoustic versions of previous LULLACRY material. There´s for example a very beautiful piano version from the song ‘Crucify My Heart’. That song was originally a ballad indeed!!

We are heading to North America to tour with Nightwish in August and straight after that (besides hangover) we´ll start the recordings of the forthcoming full length album. It will be out in Jan 2005 and it will kick your bloody ass!!!!"
