Regarding their forthcoming album, entitled "Ekpyrosis", Swedish metallers Setherial have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"We have now recorded six drum tracks and this time we decided to go for a fully acoustic drum sound using no triggers or other modules.

This week we will continue with the drums and also continue with the guitars and vocals. We are aiming for a much more organic production with this album since it fits the overall concept and the pre-productions we've done sound extremely promising.

The lyrical theme of "Ekpyrosis" is about a metaphoric connection to the unavoidable conflict of the universe, through the satanic angle and perspective. The Ekpyrotic Universe draws its name from the ancient Greek word ekpyrosis, meaning "conflagration" (disastrous fire or conflict). According to an ancient cosmological model with this name, the universe was created in a sudden burst of fire.

A tribute to the complete obliteration spiral of all particles that is ever created where the allseeing/alldestroying eye of Satans singularity is represented by the destructive forces and dark energy of this vast, unknown universe.

We are currently also working with different ideas for layout and we will present it to the public as soon as we has made a decision of which artwork to use.

Some of the song titles on the album:

Seven Are They
Thoughts Of Life They Wither
The Devouring Eye
Firestorms Over Haar-Megiddo
The Neural Cage Of Selfinfliction
Subsequent Emissions From A Frozen Galaxy

More news and short samples of the album will come soon."
