Redemption's primary songwriter and guitarist/keyboardist Nicolas van Dyk has announced that Redemption is hard at work on the new album. The message taken from Redemption's official web site, written by Nick Van Dyk:

"We have finished the writing for our new CD, 'The Origins of Ruin', and we have scheduled studio time in March and April to record the CD with a hopeful release in September.

We are once again collaborating with well-known producer Tommy Newton (UFO, CONCEPTION, HELLOWEEN, ARK, ELEGY, etc.) and he will be joining us in Los Angeles to start tracking in a few weeks.

"The new material is in a similar vein as 'The Fullness of Time', and the band has really hit our stride in terms of songwriting. With the exception of our new bass player, we retain the same lineup as last time and that will go a long way to making the record sound more organic and consistent. And since Sean, our new bass player, is stylistically similar to James, I think the sound will be very much a natural extension of 'Fullness'. You can expect the bass to be more prominent on this record, as well.

"Some of the working titles for our songs are 'The Suffocating Silence', 'Bleed Me Dry', 'Memory', 'Martyr', 'Used to Be', and 'Fall On You'. We also plan on recording two unconventional cover songs for bonus tracks."

Redemption's lineup is:

Ray Alder - Vocals

Nick van Dyk - Guitar and Keys

Bernie Versailles - Guitar

Sean Andrews - Bass

Chris Quirarte - Drums
