Video for "God Has A Plan For Us All" recorded!  
2006-04-24
 
The video for the title track "God Has A Plan For Us All" has been recorded. The video shoot went really well, and the director Måns Berthas and the extremely talented and devoted crew he put together did a truly amazing job! The video was filmed at two locations, a very impressive and beautiful church (Njurunda Kyrka) and an abandoned deteriorated building, over a three day period and due to the lyrical theme of the song it was filmed as a "short movie". It contains footage of as well the band as Chris´ 5 year old daughter Saga who played the child, Toni Davey (wife of Dani Filth in Cradle Of Filth and covergirl on the album) who played the child as a grown up to a 35 piece church choir and a priest played by Pierre Ragnehag! There were three long and very hard days for all of us, but the result was well worth the effort. Now the task of editing the video starts and release date will be when it has been finished edited, which will roughly be by the end of may.

We are all eternally grateful for the dedication and devotion we were given by the entire crew and no words are great enough to express our gratitude. We also want to thank everyone else who in any way shape or form participated in the making of this video, we wouldn´t have been able to do it without any of you!

A video diary along with more pictures and upcoming video footage from the making of the video can be found in the "Diaries" section.
A complete crew list and all information regarding the video can be found in the "Media/Downloads" section where the video will be up for download as soon as it´s finished.

Welcome to the new Angtoria website!  
2006-04-28  
With the release of the new album "God Has A Plan For Us All, a brand new site design has been done to further enhance the release. The site will continue to grow over time as more information is gathered, but most of the information on the old site has been transferred to the new site.
In the "Releases" section there are some samples from the album for you all to enjoy, and in the "Diaries" section we´ve also added a video diary with information and pictures from the making of the video for the title track of the album. There will also be a "behind the scenes" video clip from the making of the video available to download on this site shortly, we´ll keep you posted.

Keep a look out at you local record store if you wish to buy our album, or go to the "shop" section to order the album directly from the online shop of your choice.

We are also happy to announce that Angtoria now have a complete line up! John Henriksson from the band My Own Grave, who did an excellent job behind the drums in the video despite getting only a couple of days notice to practice and learn the song, has been added to the band, as well as Dave Pybus who participated both on the album and in the video.

Angtoria to record video for title track "God Has A Plan For Us All"  
2006-04-14
 
Angtoria will soon start filming their first music video as a part of the worldwide promotion for their album due to be released on Listenable Records April 27th.
The video will be filmed during 3 days at two different locations, and director of the video is an upcoming and very talented swedish director who has previously won awards for his work, Måns Berthas.
On April 19th Sarah, Dave Pybus (CoF) and Toni Davey (Dani's wife and album cover model), will fly to Sweden to join Chris and Tommy and a yet to be revealed drummer to shoot the video for the title track "God Has A Plan For Us All".

The song is based around child abuse by a religious person, which in turn leads the girl to madness because of years of mental torture through the offender getting away with what he has done to her. Putting images to lyrics like these is quite difficult without getting banned by every tv station, but we will sure try to portray the lyrics in images as much as possible.
Chris´s young daughter Saga will play the child and Toni will obviously play the girl as older. This is to show the deterioration from start to finish of the girls life.

Wish us luck!

Statement from Sarah:

Finally we can reveal a track listing for the album "God Has A Plan For Us All" which is due for release around the end of April via Listenable Records.The track listing is more or less in its correct order but as you know, things change!

- Deity of disgust
- The Addiction*
- Suicide on my mind
- Do you see me now
- Original sin
- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

* Indicate tracks taken from the Torn Between Two Worlds demo,which was a "Movie Score" type project between Chris and I, that was released solely for record companies around 2003. They havent been changed too much from the original versions but have been re-recorded and some extra's have been added!

The album is still being mixed and it due to be mastered Feb 14th at CuttingRoom in Stockholm by Björn Engelmann who has a very impressive background and has done everything from Rammstein to In Flames, Soilwork to Dimmu Borgir to Within Temptation.

Last but not least! A few more guests! Tony Könberg, a male singer/musician from Sundsvall, helped out with some choir parts.He has been part of several local bands for 20 years and is also a theater and musical performer. We used him on the Torn Between Two Worlds demo as well. He has an amazing low choir voice and this time just couldn`t do without him! Also Richard Andersson, who has been labeled the "Fastest Keyboard Player in the World" has participated on our album by laying down a keyboard solo on one of our songs! I had never heard anything like it in my life! A keyboard solo??? He is in strong demand and has a huge fan base of his own! He is known for bands like Majestic, Time Requiem and Space Odyssey. Website: www.anderssonmusic.com

Also, very soon, we will have the first ANGTORIA merchandise available. Hopefully in the next few weeks! The first merchandise that will be available is a one off limited edition version of a t-shirt and girlie shirt, designed by Paul from CoF. This initial limited edition design will be of course be followed by more merchandise and designs connected to the release of our album, but if you want to get your hands on this limited edition design, keep an eye open so you don´t miss it!

Album recording update!
 
2006-01-14  
It´s been a while since the last update again, simply becuase we´ve been so busy with the recording that we havn´t been able to focus on much else.

After working hard to finish every detail and getting everything recorded and edited to manage record the vocals for the album, on january 6, Sarah came to Sundsvall/Sweden and Sidelake Studios to record the vocals. After many various types of possible and impossible technical problems along the way throughout this recording, the vocal recording went really well, way above our expectations in fact. No glitches, no technical problems and everything went really smooth.
A proper studio report of the vocal recording with images and diary from Sarah etc. is being prepared and will be uploaded on this site in the studio report section as soon as it´s done.

After Sarah was done with the vocals, which took much less time than expected since she did a really good job, we had two days to finish editing everything before we started mixing the album..

We are also happy to announce that we´ve worked a bit more with Daniel Bergstrand (has produced In Flames, Soilwork, Strapping Young Lad, Behemoth etc etc). He was able to take time out of his busy schedule and come up here to help us out during the initial part of the mix, assisted by studio owner Micke Öhlen who will be in charge for mixing the rest of the album. More information and pics about this will also be published in the studio report section shortly.

Other site updates:
For those of you interested, a MySpace page dedicated to Angtoria have been set up for us by two very nice people, Amy Kate and Connon, so please visit it and sign up! Also, an Angtoria Message Board have been set up where you can sign up and post questions or comments regarding Angtoria. Links to both can be found in the "guestbook" section of this site.
Also added six new reviews and links.

Guest appearances on Angtoria album recording!
 
2005-12-19  
Angtoria are currently in the studio recording their upcoming debut album entitled "God Has A Plan For Us All" scheduled to be released worldwide on Listenable Records in april 2006!
Up to this date (december 20 -05) the drums have been recorded by swedish drummer Andreas Brobjer at Sidelake Studios in Sundsvall/Sweden with the drums set up by technician/producer Daniel Bergstrand, and Chris and Tommy are in the process of recording the guitars at the same location.

More guest appearances have just been made official and below is the official statement issued by Sarah regarding this matter:

Statement from Sarah:


"With a few technical hitche's but thing's running to plan, we have finally recorded the bass! My search for a bassist wasn't hard, I had two in mind, equally as talented and equally as amazing! Ryan Sinn from The Distillers & Dave Pybus from Cradle of Filth/Six Six Six Record's.
Due to budget & time, Dave did the dirty job. It made sense because he doesn´t live far from me. Personally it's a shame we couldn´t have had two bass players! The track's were recorded in Springvale Recording Studio's by Mark Harwood, who is famous for various Cradle Of Filth work & Extreme Noise Terror, amongst other's.

Finally, a dream come true for me! A song with Aaron from My Dying Bride. I´ve waited year's to sing with his immaculate voice! It's at last happened. No title for the track as of yet but the lyric's have been written by the both of us"

All information regarding the recording and the progress can be found in the official Studio Report section of this site that can be found by pressing the "media" button in the menu at the top. In that section the members will do their best to post continous updates as often as possible.

Angtoria starts album recording!
 
2005-11-20  

A Studio Report section has been added! Click here or go to the "media" section to be taken there.

On saturday, november 19th, Angtoria heads in to the studio to start the recording of their debut album "God Has A Plan For Us All", scheduled to be released in April 2006. The band has chosen the studio and crew at Sidelake Studios in Sundsvall/Sweden to handle the task.

The drums on the album will be handled by very talented new and upcoming young drummer Andreas Brobjer. At only 18 years of age he´s already received numerous awards for his achievments and is getting more and more renowned around the world for his skills. In 2004 he won the "Swedish National Championships In Drumset Soloing", and went back in 2005 to defend his title and won once again!
At only 17 years of age he was asked by acclaimed swedish keyboard wizard Rikard Andersson (Majestic, Time Requiem, Space Odyssey etc) to lay down the drums on the album entitled "The Astral Episode" with his highly technical metal project called Space Odyssey. He is also active in various other bands and projects like for instance prog metal band Platitude.

To help out engineering the drums etc, the band has hired Daniel Bergstrand, responsible for the sound on various albums of many bands throughout the years such as for instance In Flames, Soilwork, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Strapping Young Lad, Behemoth etc.

At the start of the recording there will be a new section added to this site. A studio diary section will be added, dedicated to frequent updates about the progress of the studio recording with images, video clips, interviews and personal "diaries" written by the members. So keep coming back for more information and updates regarding the progress of the album recording.
