Swedish metal band SLODUST — which released the "Twisted Ahead" album in 2001 via the Black Mark label — was resurrected with a new lineup last year and is now planning to hit the studio in December.

Commented drummer Dante: "We think it's going to be 7-10 new tracks, and let me tell you, it's going to be the best music anyone of us have ever done.

"It has taken more than two years to complete this, but NOW we see the beautiful black light in the horizon. This is going to be our masterpiece so far, no question about that.

"All of us in SLO are really looking forward to give this new music to you guys, and you will NOT be disappointed."

Formed in the late Nineties by bass player Roger Ersson, drummer Hugo Tigenius and singer Niklas Murbeck, SLODUST "has been alive for almost a decade," according to the group's official bio. "The Nynashamn-based band has had its ups and downs, has seen members come and go. But in the end it always have made clear for others around what also can be read in the convolute of the band's one album: 'SLODUST is not a project, its our lifestyle.' Those words is the core, the very essence of SLODUST and it is evident now more than ever.'
