Andy Winter hovoří o procesu vzniku další desky WINDS (překlad je nad mé časové možnosti):
"Considering that we have not really spoken much about details concerning the progress and direction of the new WINDS record so far, I think now is the right time to talk a little about how things are going and the direction we are taking.
"As the new album is in the process of being created, I have known for a while that it will be the most different album we have ever done. The reason for this is because our methods of working together have been different, and we have also undergone some changes in the way we come up with the material.
"Although the other members of WINDS aside from my self have contributed with material and creativity in the development of all our records, never before have basic ideas for compositions started with someone other than myself. This is an interesting prospect, because it has challenged me to think differently about how I approach our music and the compositional process in WINDS. Another new element that was introduced this time was the fact that I have also written and arranged several parts and entire compositions on guitar, which is something I have not done before. This has always been Carl's [August Tidemann; ARCTURUS, TRITONUS] duty entirely. Similarly, Carl has written basic ideas for string parts this time, which has usually been a shared duty between [vocalist] Lars [Eric Si; JACK IN A BOX, SENSA ANIMA, KHOLD] and myself. I would also say that Jan Axel [von Blomberg, a.k.a. Hellhammer; MAYHEM, ARCTURUS, KOVENANT] and I worked more closely together arranging the drum parts this time, and he has also influenced the shaping of several of the compositions that were pretty much so unfinished when he recorded the drums for them that he might as well have recorded the drums to nothing but thin air. In many places we have shaped the musical arrangements based on Jan Axel's insanely complicated and intricate drum patterns, which Carl follows to the teeth on the guitar, like clockwork.
"These are just some examples of how we've found new ways to collaborate, and through changing the recipe, being able to come up with a different and even more interesting result. The methods of creating virtually every song has been different, so the new material is also much more varied and diverse, yet still uniquely WINDS, there is no doubt about that. There will be everything from acoustic/melodic parts, slower parts to really heavy and extreme parts, faster parts and progressive parts, and virtually everything in between.
"I have also known for a while that this would be a more progressive-oriented record than our previous ones, but aside from being more technical it is also very epic, and I would say it has a darker atmosphere than any of our other albums have had. The one thing I didn't realize at the time when most of the compositions were written is how much we have grown as musicians in the songwriting department since the last time we were in the studio together.
"I am convinced that if we look back at our musical careers in ten or twenty years, this will be the album we will choose to listen to ourselves. I am certain we have accomplished above and beyond what we thought our expectations of ourselves could have been, and truth be told I have never been this excited about finishing a record before. Whether or not it will see a release before or after the mid-point of 2006 is something I can't really answer at this point. All I can say is that our focus is 100% on finishing the new record, and from this point on everything else has been put aside until that has been accomplished.
"That's it for now. We will report in as soon as something happens that is worth mentioning. In the meantime, check out the new AGE OF SILENCE release due on The End Records / Candlelight Records on October 10th/11th."

THE CURE - Songs Of A Lost World
Zásadní kapela mého dospívání a také kapela, kterou jsem 20 let ignoroval přišla s deskou odkazující k tomu nejlepšímu z její historie. Zároveň ovšem ani neevokuje pocit opakování se. "Disintegration" je jen jeden, ale tohle rozjímání mě prostě baví.

HAVOK - New Eyes
16 minut šťavnatého technického thrashingu a dva covery od kapely, která má řemeslo v paži. Je v tom ta patřičná lehkost, drive i finesa, které člověk od téhle žánrové generace automaticky čeká. Jako drobný příkrm v čase thrashového hladu obstojně zasytí!

ENVY - Eunoia
Trochu rozpačitý počin po čtyřech letech od minulého alba "The Fallen Crimson". Nedotažené, možná zbytečně stručné album stojí na pouhých náznacích síly, kterou skupina v minulosti disponovala. Ale hezké momenty s typickým rukopisem se najdou, to zase jo.

ISBJÖRG - Falter, Endure
Objev na první poslech srovnatelný s Nory MEER, Dánové ISBJÖRG uchvacují podobně hravým a progresí provoněným poprockem. Ty melodie, klavír a vzletné aranže včetně sebevědomých vokálů mě napoprvé prostě dostaly do kolen. Uvidíme, zda první dojem vydrží.

PAGANIZER - Flesh Requiem
Rogga Johansson nepolevuje. PAGANIZER jsou jednou z jeho hlavních kapel a samozřejmě doručují švédskou deathmetalovou klasiku. Rychlejší kousky jsou standardem bez překvapení, osvěžení naopak přinášejí ty pomalejší. Nejlepší skladba je ta úplně poslední.

SENTIENT HORROR - In Service Of The Dead
SENTIENT HORROR narukovali k mrtvým do služby a v novém zaměstnání se jim daří náramně. Lásku k (převážně) švédskému death metalu nezapřou, hlavně pak k prvotnímu chrastění v režii ENTOMBED. Živelná OSDM deska s lehkou thrashovou patinou. Šlape to skvěle.

PRVNÍ HOŘE - Achtung, Sultan!
Urzovci jsou zpět a vyráží do klubů, radujme se! To by asi tak stačilo. Snad jen drobná poznámka. Minulá deska byla a je až příliš dokonalá. Nová je dokonalá poněkud méně, je pouze vynikající. Kdo by to byl čekal?
