2013, Thaurorod leapt out of the Finnish underground in 2010: the newcomers made some heads turn with their first three EPs, their debut UPON HAUNTED BATTLEFIELDS. No wonder they were picked as support act for Sabaton's EU tour shortly after. The sixpiece are often compared to genre overlords Sonata Arctica, Dragonforce and Stratovarius, but the band has managed to carve a niche of its own - presenting their sophomore effort ANTEINFERNO. They mixed the album at D-Studio in Klaukkala, Finland. Jassi from D-Studio really understands how drums, bass, rhythm guitar etc. should sound on a metal album and that's why the sound on the record really got all the balls in the world!!! Line up changes often mean the downfall of a young band, but Thaurorod were lucky enough to find a splendid replacement for departing vocalists enter Andi Kravljaca - featured on this album.
