The day has finally come – LETTERS FROM THE COLONY’s debut album Vignette will crush the music scene with their ordered chaos of progressive extreme metal.
The young Swedes have worked hard not to compromise their vision and in doing so, enlisted Jens Bogren to master this triumphant full-length debut. In addition, the band have received a nod from likes of Peter Tägtgren and highly acclaimed musicians from Cradle Of Filth, The Haunted and Scar Symmetry.
During this year’s 70.000 Tons Of Metal Cruise, LETTERS FROM THE COLONY (pre-)celebrated the release of their new album at the beach and in the jacuzzi – so take a deep breath and dive into this ‘out now!’-trailer that also includes an unpackaging clip of their vinyl LP available today:
Vignette is now available for purchase here: http://nblast.de/LFTCVignette
The band will play a sold-out release show at Stoppsmäll in Falun this evening with support coming from OCTOBER TIDE and ANTARKTIS. A performance at Gamrocken Festival in May has also been confirmed, more shows will be announced soon!

LETTERS FROM THE COLONY build upon the intersection between perfection and ordered chaos; the unbridled joy of experimentation and virtuosic instrument mastery and create their new niche compartment of technically challenging extreme metal. They deliver highly complex songs full of unbound aggression and progressive structures in the vein of MESHUGGAH, OPETH or GOJIRA and also do not shy away from playing saxophone with a guitar or sampling the call of a deer into a track!
LETTERS FROM THE COLONY are:
Alexander Backlund – Vocals
Sebastian Svalland – Guitar
Johan Jönsegård – Guitar
Emil Östberg – Bass
Jonas Sköld – Drums
