NEARA will enter studio in January

German metalcore band Neara have announced plans to begin recording their second full-length album. A statement issued by the band is as follows:

"We will spend the next couple of weeks writing more new material and hopefully - yet probably - wrapping up our second full-length, which - as you all know - will be recorded in January 2006 at Danish Hansen Studios with Jacob Hansen [RAUNCHY, INVOCATOR] at the helm. We are anxious to record our second album. From where we are at this point in the songwriting process, we can say that it will be a very diverse album, both melodic and brutal. The title of the record will be that of one of the songs off it, namely, 'Let the Tempest Come'. The artwork for the album will be done by our friend Adam Hunt, drummer in U.S. grindcore sensation GRAF ORLOCK and former member of AS HOPE DIES (R.I.P.). We will of course keep you people updated on the whole developing process of the album in the days ahead."

The band's debut full-length, titled "The Rising Tide of Oblivion" was released in 2005 on Metal Blade Records.
