Finnish dark/atmospheric metal band YEARNING has signed a one-album deal with France's Holy Records for the release of its fifth CD. The group will enter the studio in March 2007 to begin recording its fourth album, "Merging into Landscapes", for a summer/fall release. According to the band, the upcoming CD will "offer a combination of power, melancholy, catchy songs and orchestral elements mixed with a powerful metal base."
