They had the chance to share the stage with Slayer, In Flames, Kreator as well as Dio and were opening act for Orphaned Land, Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy.

Swedish apocalyptic Death Metallers DIABOLICAL are set to enter the studio to record their as-of-yet untitled fifth album. The band has already started pre-production and will begin recording in June. “We have more than enough material written and pre-produced already, and we are confident that this album will be a milestone for DIABOLICAL as a band and for Metal as a genre.” says guitarist Carl Stjärnlöv. The recording will take place at infamous Necromorbus Studio facilities, with vocalist and guitarist Sverker Widgren producing again. A release date is yet to be announced. “Time is never a parameter for us. What we do is beyond time and space.” adds Stjärnlöv. The band will post a series of video studio diaries as work on the album progresses.

This album will follow-up DIABOLICAL’s 2011 release Ars Vitae, which featured nine live songs which chronicled the band’s career, four new studio tracks and a remastered version of their sold-out debut EP Deserts of Desolation.
