Finnish female-fronted heavy rock outfit LULLACRY will release its long-awaited fifth album, "Where Angels Fear", on March 7 in Finland through the band's own label, OUTO Recordings. The CD, which marks the first LULLACRY release since 2005's "Vol. 4", was produced by Mikko Herranen (ex-vocalist for MISERY, INC.), who also sings a duet with LULLACRY vocalist Tanja Lainio in the track "Feel My Revenge". The album was mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers in Helsinki.
"Where Angels Fear" track listing:
01. Antidote To You 02. Still An Angel 03. Thousand Suns 04. Feel My Revenge 05. Bad Blood 06. All Behind 07. Gone Are The Days 08. I Am 09. Broken (Into Pieces) 10. Where Angels Fear 11. Stay 12. Love & War
The first single, "Bad Blood", will be released digitally on February 6. The track is available for streaming using the SoundCloud player below.
Commented LULLACRY guitarist Sami Leppikangas: "Yes, it sure has taken a lot of time and many things have happened.
"Last year has probably been the best we've had in LULLACRY, at least when it comes to vibes. And you can hear that in the album. For the first time we made songs without thinking that now we have to do a goth ballad or a rock song. We just did things more spontaneusly and it led to an album that is a lot more dark, ambitious and multi-dimensional than its predecessors. We also paid a lot more attention to lyrics, and the production was organic, which made the sounds more dynamic on 'Where Angels Fear'.
"It will be awesome to go and play these new tunes to people; we've really waited this for long."
So I love this band, was wicked excited when a few weeks ago I'd read they had a new album due. But...
What the hell is that? Okay, I think it's good, but it's nothing like I'd expect. It's practically 90s metal. Guess I'll reserve full judgment until I get the album.
And that artwork is crap! Haha.

Some studio vids:
The songs in the second clip sound more like the Lullacry of old. The song in the first video—and first post in this thread—is more like what Lacuna Coil is playing these days.
Either way, I love this band so I'm looking forward to it.

sounds a lot like their last couple to me. not much different to my ears. no complaints from me.
still though, i think their first 2 (especially their first album) were their best. Tanya might not be as good looking as Tanja, but she's definitely the better singer.

The riff and gang vocals come off quite different to me.
My favorite is probably Crucify My Heart, but Vol. 4 is a close second. That was isn't first because sometimes it's too catchy. Like too much sweetness, you know.
I haven't heard the debut, Sweet Desire. Still trying to find a copy of that one.

my fave Lullacry song...
Tanya kinda puts me in mind of Alanis Morrisette just a bit. not sure why, no one else seems to hear it.

Nah, I can hear it. It's subtle, though.

anyone into "beauty & the beast" vox, should check out the black/death/doom/gothic band Soulgrind (which features Tanya). great stuff.

By the way, thanks for the tip on the Last.fm chart thing. It updates immediately! The old one would take a day to update sometimes. Haha.

I have the debut but its mp3's I got it from Media Club years ago. Don't worry its not an illegal downloading site. I've mentioned it once before but no one cared lol. I like to use it on instances like this where this album will probably never see the light of day again and this will be the only way to hear it.

Scary...angry, i think the "i look angry into the camera while singing" is a bit cheesy, too forced. But other than that, is start to like the song. It doesn't sound like the old Lullacry but's it's pretty good.

Wasn't too crazy about that song, but I'm sure there are better ones on the album.

So I finally got this album this past week when I went away on vacation. I got to listen to it today at work and I think it was pretty good. A lot better than I had anticipated it to be since i wasn't really crazy about the last one, She seemed a little too whiny/nasaly to me, where as this new one she sounds a little darker. Pretty good over all.
