Samavayo Finish Recording Seventh Album Due Out March 2022
Berlin trio Samavayo have finished recording their seventh full-length album and the follow-up to 2018’s Vatan (review here) and as of today are also due to have finished the mix. They’ve worked with Richard Behrens at Big Snuff Studio — pro shop, duh — and Noisolution will have the record out in March. I asked founding guitarist/vocalist Behrang Alavi for an update, which he kindly provided along with copious studio photos like that above shot by Danny Kötter.
That’s the first group of pictures below. You’ll also note the second, the last four shots, which are of guests appearing on the record in some capacity or other. Recognizable faces for sure in Igor Sydorenko of Stoned Jesus, Tommi Holappa of Dozer/Greenleaf (with Fredrick Nordin in the background, no less), Willi Paschen of Coogans Bluff and Nick DiSalvo of Elder, recording in various spots. All four of them are holding guitars — which should probably tell you something about what they’re doing on the album — but as to the particulars of the particulars, your guess is as good as mine.
Alavi, as well as bassist/backing vocalist Andreas Voland and drummer/backing vocalist Stephan Voland will tour in April to celebrate the release of the new album, and they’ve already been confirmed for Desertfest in Berlin and SonicBlast in Portugal. Good times on the horizon. If you want a sneak peak at the new material under construction, the band very handily posted a series of ‘New Riffs Burnin” videos through their YouTube that you’ll find below as well.
Here are the pics and the update:
