Ex-Theatre of Tragedy guitarist comments on working with RAVENLAND

Tommy Lindal, ex-Theatre of Tragedy guitarist, who is living now in Brazil, recorded guitar parts for Ravenland's debut, entitled "...and A Crow Brings Me Back", being the second guest to be featured on the album, along with Ricardo Confessori (Angra, Shaman), who recorded the drums, besides of producing the album.

About the cooperation, Tommy Lindal comments: "I got the invitation from Dewindson to appear on their new upcomming "And a Crow Brings me Back" some time back, he also sent me some songs of the recording for me to choose for what to work on. I really liked the music they made, the sound was quite different and original from the sound I'm used to in Europe. I accepted and went to record in Natal, RN in December.

During the wait for Richardo [Confessori - Angra' and Shaman's drummer] recording, adding and deleting stuff to give me a final mix to relate with, especially on one song, where I play somekind of lead-melody, I was depending a lot on the background-music they already had made, so it was frustrating at times, but I resolved the issue buy recording a 2nd guitar, so it came out well. I had a very close contact with Dewindson and Camilla. They are both very comunicative people and soon we became very close friends. I had my own work aswell (forming my new band called ...in Deviltry, here in Brazil) but I still found space for my passion which is playing and composing.

We still have a great friendship, and now I am only waiting to listen the final result  This cd is really worked through really carefully, nice producer, great mixer and with a great arrangement both musically and productively, so I am very excited about this!"

The band's debut will be released soon and will feature 14 new tracks and two multimedia videos. Samples of Ravenland's music are available at www.myspace.com/ravenland
