Album snippets in order of appearanceCan you already tell us just based on song titles which of these tracks would you first like to hear as a pre-release appetizer?
Adamantra was born in 2005 and so far we've published one EP back in 2006 and our debut album "Revival" in 2009. The debut was intended to be released all over the world, but due to some unfortunate events it was released only in our home country of Finland. The band decided to start the composing, rehearsing and recording of new tracks in August 2010. After years of production, the sound of Adamantra has returned, as the new album will be released in May 2014.
Furthermore, since the debut was not released anywhere outside Finland, we bought the remaining CD stock from our former label so that we can put the album out to international markets. How cool is that!

What we need
Since we have decided to take the path of total artistic independence, but accept only top-notch production in all phases, we pay for the recording studio, mixing, mastering, cover art, layouts, webpages etc. So far we've invested € 8000 into the production of the album, including the recording, mixing and mastering. At the moment, regional distribution deals are negotiated in order to guarantee world-wide availability in May 2014!
What we still should pay from our not so deep pockets is about € 2000, which covers all the last production costs still pending (rest of the mixing, mastering, cover artwork, layout & promo pic bills). One expensive baby, wouldn't you say;=)
What happens to the rest if the goal is exceeded
If our target is reached handsomely, we will let our fans have a say on where will the rest of the money be invested! Should we start producing our third album right away or should we make a killer music video? Should we save it up for a live set on the Great Wall of China - Let us know!
What happens if the target is not reached
The album will come out anyway and all perks are delivered as promised. This campaign is your chance to help us storm the final stretch and bring more music to people all around the world!
