Svartsyn studio report

Swedish Black Metal band Svartsyn are scheduled to release a new full length album soon, which is titled "Black Testament". The album will be released through Polish label Agonia Records on the 28th of May in Europe, with a North American release date set for the 11th of June. "Black Testament" will mark the band's eighth full length album.

Ornias, the band's only core member, describes the new album as "A sinister mix between Destruction Of Man (2003) and Timeless Reign (2007)". The band's previous full length, titled "The True Legend" and released last year, was a re-recording of their original 1998 debut.

4. Carving a Temple
5. Eyes of the Earth
6. Rising Beast
