German gothic/symphonic metal band Coronatus will enter the Klangschmiede Studio E in late August to record their seventh studio album, Raben Im Herz, with Markus Stock. Markus will also take care of the album's mix and mastering, whereas Jan Yrlund (Darkgrove) is going to create the album's artwork.
 
Drummer Mats comments: "This time we decided to use a German title for our album - mostly, because the majority of our songs are already in German and we know that it gets a bit old, when you always use two Latin words as an album title.
 
The new songs will feature even more instrumental parts, which also changed our songwriting process: Our previous songs mostly consisted of up to 90% vocals, which turned out to be a bit limiting for us. Now, with additional instrumental parts, the songs will be more varied and it's also more fun for us to play them. There will also be a few changes in store for Anny and Carmen, who will both use a broader vocal range on the new record. This album will rock!"

Raben Im Herz is scheduled to be released on December 4th via Massacre Records.
