California's The Element are preparing the long awaited second album "From Sand - Part II" and have employed the services of famed producer Jens Bogren to handle production duties.

Back In 2015, The Element started working on the new release and this time with Borgren at the helm, the band seeks to accelerate its career. Borgren worked with bands such as Arch Enemy, Symphony X, Angra, Pain of Salvation, Katatonia, Dragonforce, Paradise Lost, James Labrie and Devin Townshend. In charge of mastering is Tony Lindgren, both from Fascination Street Studios.

“From Sand - Part II” shows the band’s natural evolution with heavier, more straightforward, and more aggressive songs, while keeping their main features, such as sophisticated instrumental segments and orchestrations.

The album's first single will be the song “Dusk," which will also be made into a music video, once again directed by Tommy Merry. Soon the release dates for the single and album will be announced.

Stay tuned for more information.
