Release Notes:
"Veteran power metallers Thy Majestie will release their long-waited fifth album
æShiHuangDiÆ on Scarlet Records.
The album, which marks the first Thy Majestie release since 2009's æDawnÆ, was
recorded at Wreck Studios in Palermo, Italy, mixed by Giuseppe Orlando
(Novembre) at Outer Sound Studios in Rome, Italy and mastered by Mika Jussila
(Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius) at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki,
Finland.
Another epic conceptual record, in the vein of Thy MajestiesÆs acclaimed albums
æThe Lasting PowerÆ (2000) and æHastings 1066Æ (2002), æShiHuangDiÆ marks
another important chapter in the bandÆs career, this time dealing with the life
of the legendary Qin Shi Huang, who became the first emperor of a unified China
in 221 BC.
æShiHuangDiÆ will see Thy Majestie returning to their trademark sound, made of
epic atmospheres, massive orchestral and operatic parts and - most of all -
genuinely devastating metal.
A very special guest appearance by renowned singer Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of
Fire, Vision Divine, Kamelot) on the song æEnd Of DaysÆ has also been
announced."
