In the studio. The time has come and the recording session of our third full-length album is about to start now. The next three weeks will include a one week session in an old mansion locating in another town, as well as a two week session in the town where Callisto was founded back in 2001. The album will be produced, engineered and mixed by good old Jonas Olsson. We will post some photos during the long waited weeks of long working hours.

While waiting for things to proceed with the new album, there is a new Callisto hoodie finally in stock! It is a zipper having a golden print accompanied by text "Colours Subside In The Pale And Night". You can enlarge the design by clicking the picture. The hoodie is available for purchase in the Fullsteam Records webstore.

General update. We have been working hard on the new songs during the last six months, and thus keeping a low profile. Currently we are hitting the hardest stages of pre-production and preparing ourselves to studio.

Writing new material. Autumn is constantly getting colder here in the north, as new chords and tunes are being conceived in the Callisto nest. Thus there will be a short break from playing shows.

There are main structures of somewhat four or five songs ready and the front porch lights of studio doors are already blinking in the horizon. The doors are supposed to be opened next year. More info to follow.
