Studio session 31st October

So... we're going to record one track from our new album, song called "Maximum Sentence", on 31st October. Some cameras will also be rolling then - expect some video footage.

A couple of words on what we've planned for the future. We've reserved two weeks from Seawolf studios to record and mix the new album. This session will span from 7th to 21st of February 2011. The project will be interesting because we have planned to re-amp all guitars and bass. Vocals will probably also be recorded in advance. This means that I, Erkki, and Mika have to record everything in advance and Perttu will play (drums) along the guitar tracks!

It'd be nice to do everything in the studio, enjoy the atmosphere (especially the "nazi-like" commandment of some producer to ensure quality), and do some last minute improvisations. But the reality hits hard - the budget is very limited and there's no assurance that we would even get to break-even after the release. But it's not like I would be complaining. I'm going to release this album no matter what it will take.

Victim no. 52 & Sanctuary of Incineration guitar tablatures

Devastator wanted it, now you have it. A couple of old tablatures.

Seriously considering of tabbing also Thy Flesh Consumed and Abducted, what do you think?

Overall, this was quite refreshing experience. How easy this old stuff can be, the new ones require so much more work...


These tabs are created with Guitar Pro. This software can be acquired here, for example.

Announcement on the New Line-up

TIEDOTE 8.9.2010

Julkaisuvapaa: heti
De Lirium’s Order on uusinut kokoonpanonsa ja valmistelee nyt 3. albuminsa nauhoituksia. Yhtyeen perustaja, kitaristi Juha Kupiainen, on säveltänyt viime vuoden materiaalia tulevalle levylle ja etsinyt samalla uusia soittajia yhtyeen riveihin. Kitaristiksi yhtyeeseen löysi tiensä nopeasti Kupiaisen vanha tuttu Mika Sundvall, joka on luonnollinen valinta aisapariksi Sundvallin vankasta soittotaustasta johtuen. Rumpaliksi yhtyeeseen kiinnitettiin nuori lupaus Perttu Kurttila (Tracedawn, Lithuria), joka tunnetaan sekä rautaisena muusikkona että East Sound studion äänittäjänä. Laulajaehdokkaiden joukosta yhtyeeseen valikoitui Jukka Pihlajaniemeen (The Undivine, ex-Ghoul Patrol), joka on ehtinyt niittää mainetta aiemman, mm. FMA-palkinnon saaneen yhtyeensä kanssa.

De Lirium’s Order etsii riveihinsä nyt basistia, jonka soittotaidot ja omistautuminen palvelevat yhtyettä pitkällä tähtäimellä.

Kuopiossa 1998 perustettu death metal -yhtye De Lirium’s Order ehti julkaista kaksi demoa ennen kiinnitystään Woodcut Recordsille 2003, jonka kautta julkaistiin debyyttialbumi “Victim no. 52”. Yhtyeessä lauloi tuolloin nykyisin Deatchainista tunnettu Corpse. Albumi keräsi kiitosta niin medialta kuin metallin ystäviltäkin. Debyytti sai jatkoa vuonna 2007 yhtyeen julkaistessa Shadow Worldin kautta ”Diagnosis”-albumin, jolle saatiin sessio-solistiksi mm. Sotajumalasta tuttu Mynni Luukkainen. Albumi sai jälleen erittäin hyvät arviot ja kuulijakunnan vastaanotosta kertoo se, että parhaimmillaan levy sijoittui Suomen virallisella levylistalla sijalle 30. Vuosien varrella yhtyeessä on vaikuttanut joukko suomalaisia kovan luokan metallimuusikkoja ja yhtye on vakiinnuttanut asemansa death metallin kotimaisessa kärkikastissa.

Uuden albumin nauhoitukset alkavat helmikuussa 2011. Materiaalin sävellystä ja nauhoituksien etenemistä voi seurata yhtyeen virallisesta blogista osoitteessa: http://deliriumsorder.blogspot.com/

Announcement, September 8th 2010

Finnish death metal band De Lirium's Order has renewed its lineup and is now getting ready for recording the band's 3rd studio album. Juha Kupiainen, the founder and guitarist, has been composing new material during the past year, and at the same time, seeking new members to the band. A guitarist Mika Sundvall was the first to join, and due to music teaching background and close ties with Kupiainen, he made a perfect candidate for the band looking new talent. DLO's drum battery section has been occupied by young, but skilled Perttu Kurttila, who is previously known from bands Tracedawn and Lithuria, and for some, from East Sound Studios as a recording producer. From a list of gifted candidates, Jukka Pihlajaniemi was selected as the new vocalist with roots in bands The Undivine and Finnish Metal Awards winner Ghoul Patrol.

Formed in 1998, and developing their unique craft ever since, De Lirium’s Order embodies unmerciful brutality and insanity put to music. The band combines grinding blast beats, technical riffs, catchy thrash-lines, obscure melodies and manic guitar leads to create death metal onslaught. In 2003 the band signed a recording contract with Woodcut Records and during the following year the debut album "Victim No. 52", featuring Corpse (now Deathchain) in vocals, was released. This cold-blooded assault received praising response from the critics and death metal fiends worldwide.

In the beginning of 2007, the band signed with Shadow World Records and the album "Diagnosis" was released in August 8th reaching the Finnish charts position #30. This time the vocals were manhandled by Mynni from the leading Finnish death metal act Sotajumala. During the years De Lirium's Order has established it's position among the most appreciated bands in the Finnish death metal genre.

The recording sessions for the new album are scheduled for February 2011. News and insights to the development of the album, composing and pain in general can be followin the band's official blog, http://deliriumsorder.blogspot.com/.

About the New Album

Hundreads of hours of shredding guitar, hundreads of riffs, about ten songs of which six are ready (composing finished). I have made all the original arrangements and our new guitarist has been mostly working on the supporting guitars. His contribution has quite blown my mind. There's definitely a new twist in the music of De Lirium's Order.

Guitar Pro has been under heavy use for the first time in DLO history. It's totally a new approach for us to compose music. We'll see what comes out coz sometimes I get the habit of overdoing the riffs by using some strange time signatures and inhuman tempo... will we be able to play them on stage? Doesn't matter, the album is all that matters, it will sound great ofc.

Some working titles (not the final ones!) of the songs and background info:
Scitsophrenic
Nominees for the Nobel of Evil (who gets the trophy?)
The Clink (12th-18th century prison at London)
Seppuku (Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment)
Maximum Sentence (dunno whether this would inspire to write lyrics, maybe with some story to sparkle some ideas)

Check back here regularly, subscribe to RSS or Twitter feed, because there's lots of new stuff coming up. Patience, announcement on the new lineup and some samples of the new stuff will be published very soon. I promise.
