Some good news for those that have been waiting for a second Cain’s Offering album for some time, it is finally confirmed that a new album is in the works after years of ambigious updates.

The project, led by ex-Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen never truly signified that Cain’s Offering would continue after their debut release but the door was always left open. Now Jani has posted a serious album update on his blog, indicating that multiple songs have been completed and the work on the album is going at full force.

The posts read:

“So yeah, it’s going pretty well. Seven songs are pretty much done, music-wise that is… I’m planning to use all the free time I have in my hands until the beginning of September on writing, so I should have a pretty good pile of songs to choose from when we begin the recordings. At the moment I have 8 sure songs and 2 on the ‘maybe’ pile. We are getting there. So, good news for the suomi power metal fans around the world!”

“Today I did a nine hour day re-working one song we wrote with Timo, and it was 9 hours well spent. It sounds way better now. It’s pretty different from everything we’ve done so far but sounds damn good nevertheless. Now I’m having a drink and going through all the songs we have so far for the next album and pondering one thing: Should there be an instrumental song, like ‘Gather The Faithful’ was on the debut album? Not sure yet.”

We’ve been wating for this for some time, so great to hear this album is finally coming into fruition!
