FINISHED!

That's right, the second demo is all done! I can't tell what a relief this is after working my butt off for more than two months. Thanks to Fredric Holmström and SV Nord for everything they have done for Tundra.

The song order isn't 100% set but will probably look like this:

Terminal Bliss
Come Sanity
Voices of the Night
Going Down
Second to None
The Ravens head

Terminal Bliss is an uptempo song, really simple with some nice double bass drums. It deals with the danger of joining brain washing cults and such.

Come Sanity handles the ordeal of depression and anxiety, something I have had plenty of personal experience with. Sort of mid-tempo with a middle section that builds up to a climactic melody solo.

The Voices of the Night is downright nasty and the most evil song on the demo. We all have had those dark and eerie thoughts, right? Well TVotN is about being tempted by the dark side. Stikkan did a fantastic job on this one.

Going Down Women! Can't live with them, can't kill them. But nevertheless, after every heartache, every gut-wrenching breakup you always make the same mistake again. By far the heaviest number this time around. Stikkans delivery has to be heard to be believed.

Second to None Fast song with lots of blasting bass drums, twin-lead guitar work and high-pitched screams. Just the way we like it! The lyrics are all about being on top of the world for once.

Which brings us to the closer, The Ravens Head. I call this a mini-epic since it isn't quite long enough to be a "real" epic song. Lyrically I was inspired by a novel called "The Witches Defender" by swedish author Jan Gillou. The story in short is about being ostracized and disowned by people you once called friends.

Tundra are keeping busy rehearsing the new material at the moment. March 3rd is when we enter the studio to lay down six new songs. It's hard work getting to the point where everythings nice and tight but we are slowly but surely getting there. Be patient, ok?

Well, things are a bit topsy-turvy in the Tundra camp at the moment. Last update I wrote that Ola had left the band but guess what, he's back again :) We had a talk and he told me he really wanted to stay in the band. Ola has a new job with better hours, giving him time to rehearse and eventually do some gigging so welcome back you chinless sticksmacker! :D

The new demo is coming along fine. Lyrics for five songs (out of six) are written and studio time has been booked in March. The material ranges from brutally heavy and epic to fast and angry tunes. Stay tuned for more info.

Bad news first: Ola is no longer with us so we stand once again without a drummer. Hopefully this will be solved when we start to record the new demo.

Speaking of the new demo, me (Andreas) and Stikkan have been quite busy these last few weeks writing new material for our next release. This will be the first co-written TUNDRA songs and I am very pleased with the direction the material is taking. Some titles are Going Down (very heavy song), The Raven's head (a seven-minute epic) and Voices of the Night (dark and evil number). A total of six new songs are on the way ranging from brutally dark and heavy to fast and furious bursts of energy. We hope to enter the studio early 2008 to begin recording the second chapter in TUNDRA history. Stay tuned!
