BelieverReactivated late ’80s/early ’90s technical-thrash metallers BELIEVER recently entered the studio to begin recording their new album for a tentative early 2011 release. Guitarist/vocalist Kurt Bachman writes in an online posting, “The recording is going well for and the guitars, bass, drums are complete. We’re working on vocals, keys and leads to finish this up over the next several weeks.

“Must say that we’re excited about this one and hope you are also.

“Once we get a definitive release date we will let you know, but it will most likely be in the spring of 2011.

“We’re hoping that this one is less pirated also so we can continue to do this for years to come.”

BELIEVER performed live for the first time in 16 years on September 25, 2009 at Sterling Hotel in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The band’s fourth album, “Gabriel”, was released in March 2009 through KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman Howard Jones‘s new imprint label Cesspool Records via Metal Blade. The CD featured guest appearances by Jones, Joe Rico (SACRIFICE), CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller and Rocky Gray (EVANESCENCE, SOUL EMBRACED, LIVING SACRIFICE).
