About us
Pimeä Metsä (finnish for Dark Forest) is a viking/folk metal band from Madrid, Spain. No Blood No Glory! will be our second album after the release of [Legacy of the Heathen North] in 2013 (https://pimeametsa.bandcamp.com/), which reached very positive reviews among the specialised media. It gave us the opportunity to go on the road and play it in various cities... in nights that you, our fans, converted into unforgettable! Moreover, tours supporting international bands, festivals, interviews with heavy metal media and... almost sold out in our gig of 26th November 2013 at We Rock! (Madrid), at home, with our brothers and sisters in arms!
With No Blood No Glory! we want to be one step forward. It will be much faster, more epic and richer in details than its predecessor. The experience we have been acquiring has allowed us to compose more elaborated songs, with more varied passages, but always keeping Pimeä Metsä's essence. We cannot wait for you to listen to it!
Our second LP will contain 9 tracks, one of them instrumental, and will be recorded, mixed and mastered at The Metal Factory Studios in Madrid by Alex Cappa, who has worked with really amazing Spanish heavy metal bands like Hamlet, Vita Imana, etc.
The objective of your contributions
We need minimum 2.500,00 € to fund the recording, mixing and mastering of the LP, design of the album artwork by a draftswoman and its release and promotion all around the world by the Italian label Wormhole Death (Ashes to Ashes, Barbarian Prophecies, Dunkelnacht, Napaln Storm, etc.)
Our second album approximate budget is:
Recording, mixing and mastering in The Metal Factory Studios: 4.600,00 €
Manufacturing of 1.000 CD's, album artwork printing, international distribution and promotion by Wormhole Death: 1.000,00 €
Design of the album artwork by a draftswoman: 400,00 € aprox

What if we go beyond our funding objectives?
We have some more things in mind: video recording, improvement of our stage atrezzo, advertisements of the release and the gigs in the media... We have also some more original merchandising products, not very often seen in a musical band (if you know us, you will know what we are talking about... but we think we will surprise you anyway!)

Planned timetable
The nine songs are ready and we are now finishing with its pre-production and closing their final arrangements and harmonies.
We will start its recording at the studio in September. According with the schedule that gave us from the studio, recording, mixing and mastering should be finished around October 15th when LP manufacturing and artwork printing would start. We estimate that by the end of November we will be able to release No Blood No Glory!, but it will depend on the agreement we reach with the Italian label... Anyway, we can assure that *as gratitude to your support, you will have the album as soon as we receive the physical copies, *, it has nothing to do with the official market release.
