Cloudscape – New Era (2012)

“New Era”, the long-awaited fourth album from Swedish metallersCLOUDSCAPE, will be released in the U.S. on September 11 viaNightmare Records

CLOUDSCAPE is a melodic power metal band with progressive touches from southern Sweden. Fans of both progressive metal, such asEVERGREY, SYMPHONY X, DREAM THEATER, and PAGAN’S MIND, and old-school rock, like AEROSMITH, SCORPIONS, and JOURNEY, are sure to find something enjoyable about CLOUDSCAPE.
Since 2004 CLOUDSCAPE has called the prestigious Roastinghouse Studios in Malmö, Sweden their home for all of their albums to date.CLOUDSCAPE continue to progress with each record, breaking new boundaries in their style and continue to mature in their writing and composition. “New Era” is without a doubt the band’s crowning accomplishment to date. The record was produced and mixed by Micko Twedberg. Twedberg was assisted on the mixing by Anders “Theo” Theander. The mastering was also handled by Theander.

CLOUDSCAPE’s compositional ambitions have always bridged progressive metal and straightforward melodic rock/metal, creating music accessible to a wider audience by virtue of its intense melody, but with enough complexity to satiate the ears of casual and serious music enthusiasts. The band’s following has continued to grow with performances at highly acclaimed metal festivals, including the prestigious Sweden Rock Festival(Sweden), Bloodstock Open Air (UK), ProgPower Europe (Netherlands),ProgPower Scandinavia (Denmark), and Metal Heart Festival (Norway).

Despite a short hiatus to work on side projects and lineup changes, the band’s core membership and ambition are as solid as ever. All involved anticipate a “New Era”, continuing on CLOUDSCAPE’s current success and their promising future.
