Norwegian extreme metal veterans KEEP OF KALESSIN will release their new album, “Reptilian”, in North America on June 8 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD will be made available in Europe (except Germany, Austria and Switzerland) on May 10 through Indie Recordings.
The track listing for the CD is as follows:

02. The Awakening
03. Judgement
04. The Dragontower
05. Leaving The Mortal Flesh
06. Dark As Moonless Night
07. The Divine Land
08. Reptilian Majesty
Regarding the album artwork, KEEP OF KALESSIN’s Obsidian C. stated, “The music on ‘Reptilian’ is more in your face and direct than before so we chose this cover and the title to emphasise that directness as well as focusing even more on the fantasy elemement in the band. This beast of an album is staring at you and it’s going straight for your throat!”
The band will play a few select shows in Norway in support of the release.
Confirmed dates so far:
May 15 – Rockefeller, Oslo (headlining show)
May 21 – Torget, Trondheim, Trondheim Rock Festival
KEEP OF KALESSIN took third place in the grand final of the national Eurovision Song Contest called “Melodi Grand Prix” which was held on February 6 at the Spektrum in Oslo. The band performed a song called “The Dragontower”, which was originally written for the group’s next album but had to be shortened from 5:20 minutes to 3:00 minutes for the performance. The full, unedited track will, of course, appear on the upcoming KEEP OF KALESSIN CD.
Video footage of KEEP OF KALESSIN’s performance in the quarterfinals of the competition can be viewed here.
KEEP OF KALESSIN’s last CD, “Kolossus”, was released in June 2008. The album was made available via Indie Recordings and was licensed to Nuclear Blast for the following territories: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and rest of the world outside Europe (except Australia and Russia).
