Great news everyone!

We are entering IF Studios next Monday the 14th of May, to record a few new songs with producer Roberto Laghi. We see this as a way to evolve our sound and we are really looking forward to this since we have never really worked with a real producer before.
As some of you might know, Jesper Strömblad have been co-writing/making arrangements on these songs and will also be present in the recording process. Another cool thing is that Frank Default (known for his work with Katatonia’s latest albums) is gonna help us with the electronic/atmospheric parts.
This totally is a new way for us to work and we are really looking forward to it and are hoping for the best!
Regarding the release we can’t really say anything at the moment since it isn’t really clear how and when… But we will keep you posted!

Exciting times ahead of us!

New gig confirmed! Next friday we are playing at B&B in Halmstad.
Entrance is cheap, they open early and they close late. What more can we say?

See you there!

We are celebrating Easter at Debaser Slussen Stockholm this sunday the 8th of April together with Blowsight. We are going on stage early this evening so be there on time. Doors open 20:00!

Here’s a link to the Facebook event with more info.
We hope to see you there!

Great news everyone! We are currently working together with Jesper Strömblad (The Resistance and former guitarist of In Flames) on a few new songs that we are planning to release in the near future.
We are very excited about this collaboration and the process so far has been great!

We will give you more updates about this later on when all is sorted out regarding the release. Exciting times ahead of us!

Swedish blog Metal Shrine gave Imago 4/5.

Check out the review here!

Awesome!

As some of you might know, guitarist Kenny Jakobsson, have been working on a board game called Zoneplex for about a year now. Together with his mate Shelby Cinca, the guy with the hat from the old hardore band Frodus, they have recently launched the game on Kickstarter.com

Kickstarter works as a forum and a crowd funding platform where people like yourself can pre-order a copy, throw in a couple of bucks, or just browse away.
For all of you who aren’t familiar with sites like Kickstarter maybe you wonder why we need all this money? Well, it’s not to pay our salaries. It is simply that much money that is needed to print and press a batch of games at a Game manufacturer. So we aren’t doing this to get rich. We are doing it cause we are nerds, and because we love to game!

Yes, we are asking for money. But hey! If the project isn’t funded you get your money back. If it is funded on the other hand you get a copy of Zoneplex. That’s gotta be the definition of Win-win right?

I thank you all for reading this post.

Cheers!
Kenny

You can find Zoneplex on Kickstarter here!

Yepp, thats right!

Along with Self Deception, Cervello, Three Minutes Madness and one secret act! All we can say is that it is one of the biggest rockbands in Sweden!

It will most definitely be an awesome weekend!

The price is rather cheap. Only 1495 swedish kronor for the enitre weekend which includes 2 nights at the hotel, breakfast and dinner and last but not least free entrance to all the shows!!!

See you there! \..,/

A little late, but still A new review from the german webzine musikinstinkt.de

This one is in german but remember that Google Translate is your friend.
Here’s a little something from the review that is actually in english. No, we didn’t write this ourselves.

“The new coming Megastars from Sweden – Minora with Imago.

Einfach Wahnsinnnnnn!!!!! Just Insanityyyy!!! I won´t believe it but yes here they´re coming the new megastars of prog-alternativ-rock/-metal.”

Thank you Ed!

New gig confirmed in Gothenburg at Sticky Fingers Top Floor 27th of January 2012.

I guess you have heard of Jesper Strömblad’s (Ex. In flames) new band The Resistance? We are very happy to do this show with them. Actually it is their first show in Gothenburg so it’s gonna be crowded for sure!

Get your tickets here before they are sold out!

Sad news first.

Our drummer Joseph Astorga decides to leave the band. Read his announcement below:

“For the last couple of months i’ve been feeling that my main focus in life has been elsewhere and not with the band like it used to be. That’s why i decided to leave my position as a drummer in Minora. I really hope they will find someone with more time and dedication who can fill this spot.

I would like to thank all of the guys in minora for beliving in me as a drummer for all of this time. This decision wasn’t an easy one since we have been playing together for 3 years now and we have grown together as a band and as musicians. But i feel that this is the right decision both for myself and the band.

I wish you all the very best and good luck in the future!

Pish out

/Joseph Astorga aka Beaner”

It is always sad when a bandmember decides to leave. We are still good friends with Joseph and we also wish him good luck in the future!

Now to the good news!

We have find a replacement. Andreas Wångstedt is now our new drummer. We have been rehearsing a lot lately and it all just seem to fit. Here’s a pic of the guy. Big thanks to Daniel Falk @ framednoise.com for the photoshoot!
