The fantastic collaboration of US growl god Kam Lee and Swedish Death Metal maestro Rogga Johansson will lead into another awesome album. THE GROTESQUERY are right now working intensely on their third effort and the first infos should no longer be a secret.
Lyrical mastermind Kam Lee states:
"Well - I have only ideas at the moment. But from my side with the lyrics, it will be another storyline based on and going back to the first album…sort of a sequel to “Tales of the Coffin Born”. I haven't 100% set on the title yet, but the working title as of now is “Bride of the Coffin Born”; (although that may change). The story will pick up 50 years after the events of the first album and will take place in the 1970's. It will involve a series of events where girls from the University have gone missing and also the house of Ward has been re-built and transformed into a girls dormitory. We will see the return of Matthew Ward, and learn even more sinister secrets behind the curse of the Ward Family. And we'll expose the cult of conspirators that have been part of the University and have been behind the events from the start. It will also be the final act in this story line, and most likely the final time I do a full concept album. It will end the “Trilogy of Terror” that started with the first album"!
And Rogga adds: “So far a handful of riffs have been done, and many more are in the stage of being written and recorded. The overall feeling this time is that THE GROTESQUERY is stepping back to the harder songs on the first album, more old MASSACRE meat on the guitar and less melody and epicness. Feels like this album will be heavier than both previous ones, heavier and uglier, just as Death Metal should be. It'll be the perfect tapestry for Kam Lee's classical growls to once again explode unto the scene”.
