SUSPERIA (Dimmu Borgir, Old Mans Child, Satyricon) entered StrandStudio in Oslo, Norway at the beginning of August to start work on their fourth studio album, the follow up to 2004's acclaimed release 'Unlimited'. The band are once again working with Marius Strand, who previously assisted Susperia on 2005's Norwegian Top 20 hit, the 'Devil May Care' EP. Recording is expected to be completed by the end of September. Susperia then head out on a short tour in October before returning to Dug Out Studios, Sweden in November to complete the final mix with Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork). A release is planned for early 2007 through the TABU label in Europe and Candlelight Records in the USA.

In other news, bass guitarist Memnock is currently featuring in an eight part TV documentary series on Norway's TVRomerike, charting the build up to his recent wedding. As well as capturing the big day, TV crews spent several months following the couple's preparations. The series also encompasses takes in Memnock at work with Susperia at rehearsals, in the recording studio and in concert.

Susperia released their third full-length album 'Unlimited' in 2004 on the TABU label in Europe and Candlelight in the USA. It has continued to show growth to become the bands best selling album to date, exceeding the performance of previous albums 'Vindication' and 'Predominance', which were released by Nuclear Blast. 'Unlimited charted at No.43 on Norway's Official Album Charts. Susperia went on to achieve a Top 20 hit in Norway last year with the 'Devil May Care' EP peaking at No. 19 on the official singles chart. Recently the band secured equipment endorsements with prominent companies Pearl Drums, Rotosound strings and Laney backline.

Finally Superia will shortly re-launch their redesigned website. After many problems with hackers and the like the band have decided to nuke the old site and start from scratch. This should be good news to all the frustrated fans who have made their thought's well known over the past year.
