KARI RUESLÅTTEN Releases Fifth Studio Album ‘Time To Tell’
March 7th, 2014
Kari Rueslåtten – founding member of the progressive doom metal band The 3rd And The Mortal – issued fifth studio full-length solo album Time To Tell on March 7th, 2014 through Despotz Records.
The outing was cut at Øra Studio in Trondheim, Norway with Jostein Ansnes handling production duties. Guest musicians featured include Jostein Ansnes (guitar), Rune Arnesen (drums), Trygve Brøske (piano and pump organ) and Eirik Øien (upright bass).
Rueslåtten issued the following statement: “The composing has been done by me sitting at the piano singing. No drum beats or co-composers this time! I wanted to go back to the core of songwriting. If the verse and chorus works just accompanied by the piano, it will work with other arrangements in studio too.
“What really triggered me to start making music again were all the kind messages I got from fans around the world asking me when new music would surface. I am most humble and grateful to find that there are people out there who have followed my music since my early beginning, back in The 3rd And The Mortal days, and through all my solo albums.”
The track ‘Why So Lonely’ originally appeared on 1994 The 3rd And The Mortal album Tears Laid In Earth, and was arranged by Rueslåtten with the help of Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) on piano and keyboards, Jostein Ansnes on guitar and Rune Arnesen on drums. A music video was filmed, in addition.
