Scenes from Hell was originally to have been released this summer, but frontman Mirai Kawashima recently spoke about the trials involved with album mixing which led to the delay:

We were supposed to finish mixing it by the end of June, but it was not easy at all. Of course I knew it’d be tough to mix all those orchestral instruments properly, but it was much harder than expected. The brass section sounds very powerful by itself. Guitar, bass and drums sound powerful enough by themselves. However, once all are mixed, they could often kill each other’s powerfulness! After having gone through numerous trials and errors, we finally succeeded in getting the proper result. And the album has been mastered by Maor Appelbaum, who also mastered our tribute to VENOM. He has worked with such artists as Yngwie Malmsteen and Rob Halford, so he knows how to master the metal stuff! ‘Scenes from Hell’ definitely sounds powerful, symphonic and relentless. This is the musical description of hell!
