Consisting of members from Luciferion, Forest Of Impaled and Malevolent Creation this Swedish-Polish-American band is hardly lacking in experience and more than a sum of its part.

From the ever fertile soil of France comes this black metal act, which was originally formed under the name Empires de Glace.

ANTERIOR have announced their new drummer is James Cook.
After debuting for them in December 2009 he joins the band in the midst of writing their follow up to 2007's This Age Of Silence, which they are looking to record soon.
Says the band, "After a long time searching we have finally found a new drummer. If any of you saw us play in December the fine gentlemen behind the kit will now be joining the band full time. We would like to welcome James Cook into the band and are very excited to see what he adds to the fold. He did a great job on our December tour with only a few rehearsals beforehand. He is a great guy and an exceptional musician.
On this note we are still writing for the album and cannot wait to see what James can add to the new material. We will be going into the studio in a few months time to record our second album to be released later this year on Metal Blade Records.
Thank you all for your love and support, we hope to see you on the road very soon. Keep checking back for updates."
