Official press release

The Chant are back with their second studio album This is the World we Know. The album is readily available for purchase in stores following release on April 14th 2010. The opening single "New Reality" is now available on MySpace.

The Chant are taking the next step following the success of their debut Ghostlines, which was widely appreciated, across genres, winning plaudits for notably crossing the boundaries of the metal scene. For their new album This is the World we Know; The Chant have taken a step towards what you could say is a more serene and ambient rock style to what we heard before. The Chant are preparing to take their journey to the next level, reaching out to music lovers with an evermore diverse collection of songs enthusing subtle metal elements with atmospheric overtones, very much setting them apart from the metal bands of Finland as we know it.

Guitarist Jussi Hämäläinen and keyboard player Mari Jämbäck comment on the new album: "It's musically more challenging than our debut Ghostlines. In addition to having strong atmospheres and melodies, we aimed to make the songs rhythmically more interesting. Even though we planned the albums theme and tracks thoroughly before recording we tried to go towards a more organic expression that would be easier to perform live. We also avoided cramming the tracks and achieved a more spacious overall sound."

Much like Ghostlines, This Is The World We Know was produced by Ville Sorvali and Mixed by Mikko Herranen and is released by Full Metal Records.
