Is there actually any word on a new Summoning album coming out soon? It's been 6 years since their last one, and I read some interviews here and there that a new CD is in the works.
Before anybody gets any ideas the text below is actually taken from their news page on their website.
Quote: 19.02.2012
After a longer winter-sleep summoning is back again and ow works constantly for a new release. We promise that in the near future we will regularly update the homepage again, so it will we worth the costs to check the page in regular intervals.
The present situation of Summoning:
In the past years we have worked on new material just very rarely because of different reasons (partly personal, partly being not motivated enough) but since the last months ,we intensified the work for new material and realised, that the old spirit is back again and we are very motivated for a cool new release and we are very committed in every terms of composing.
Meanwhile there are two songs which are fix starters for the album. 4 or 5 songs are in a more advance state and we composed riffs for at least 10 or 15 songs in a very early state. Btw. we still have one finished song from the last oath bound session which also will be in one or another way. so probably this time we are in the luck situation that we have more songs left, so maybe there will be some special limited fan releases beside the normal release, but this is of course just a wish right now.
We hope that until the end of this year most of the material for the new album can be finished. In the moment we have no concrete conception about the lyrical concept. All we can say right now is, that Summoning is still alive and middle earth will awake again.

I guess that would mean that there is a new Summoning album on it's way.
Great band. |

| Was pretty disappointed with 'Oath Bound' to be honest. |

| Only heard a short version of "Land of the Dead" on a Fear Candy CD 6 years back, seemed grand to me Booby. |

| Just thought it was a step backwards, as the previous two albums both sounded different to their predecessors. |

| Yeah, Stronghold was an interesting step away from Dol Guldur, as was LMHSYF to Stronghold, but then Oath Bound was just formulaic. I'll have to dig it out again to see if some breathing space has done it any good. |

| Oath Bound? Formulaic? Best listen to dig it out again and listen to the full version of "Land of the Dead" then so. |

| I mean compare that to something like 'A Distant Flame Before the Sun' and you'll see what I mean. ADFBtS has an icy BM steel alongside warm synth, and they intertwine beautifully. 'Land of the Dead' is just a meandering twee mess, way too much synth which itself sounds awful. |

| Listened to 'Mrauditas Vras' on Oath Bound on the train home. I think it's a fantastic song. |
