*Chicago, Illinois death/doomsters NOVEMBERS DOOM are pre paring for the release of
“Aphotic” due to be unleashed May 10th, 2011 on THE END/CANDLELIGHT RECORDS.
FROM NOVEMBERS DOOM:
You can now preorder the upcoming Novembers Doom CD from The End Records with a CD only, or a CD and T-shirt bundle. Preordering is also available through iTunes and Amazon MP3 store as well, available May 10th. Novembers Doom is filming their next video this week for the song “What Could Have Been” from their upcoming CD “Aphotic” available May 10th. This song features Anneke Van Giersbergen on vocals, and Rachel Barton PIne on the Violin. Tony Myles from Cage XI was once again chosen to create a cinematic style video, to capture the intense emotion of the song. Novembers Doom have worked with Tony in the past on both “Autumn Reflection” and “Eulogy For the Living Lost.”

iTunes also has full 90 second samples of the entire release, so go listen now!
Chicago’s NOVEMBERS DOOM has finished recording its eighth full-length album, “Aphotic”, for a May 10 release via The End Records. The CD features special guests on several tracks: Anneke Van Giersbergen (AGUA DE ANNIQUE, THE GATHERING) delivers a chilling and haunting vocal on What Could Have Been”; world-renowned violinist Rachel Barton Pine (EARTHEN GRAVE) lends her talent on both “What Could Have Been” and “The Dark Host”; finally, the man behind the mixing board, Dan Swano (NIGHTINGALE, EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH), adds his vocal touch to “Of Age and Origin”, also offering rare appearance of his mighty growl!

NOVEMBERS DOOM frontman Paul Kuhr says of the new album, “One goal in NOVEMBERS DOOM is to never repeat ourselves. We aim to constantly challenge our writing abilities to deliver something new each and every time, while maintaining what we feel is our signature sound. We feel we’ve not only accomplished that with ‘Aphotic’, but have pushed our creativity into new musical territory. The result is quite possibly the most unique NOVEMBERS DOOM release yet.”

According to a press release, “Aphotic” “has its roots in darkness and melancholic madness, reminiscent of the band’s early doom roots but bringing something new and modern to the listener.”

Aphotic” track listing:

01. The Dark Host
02. Harvest Scythe
03. Buried
04. What Could Have Been
05. Of Age and Origin – Part 1: A Violent Day

** Rotterdam, NL doomsters OFFICIUM TRISTE have finished all contractual obligations to DISPLEASED RECORDS are currently unsigned. FROM OFFICIUM TRISTE:
So, it’s been exactly a year since we lasted posted any news on this website. This doesn’t mean we haven’t done anything. We had to break in our new drummer Niels, we’ve done quite a few shows in 2010 and we have been working on our new album. We have finished writing this album and recordings will start in April in the studio of our keyboard-player Martin in Germany. We have written six songs with an additional intermezzo and an acoustic track. Some of the song titles are: “To The Gallows”, “Burning All Boats And Bridges”, “Your Fall From Grace”, “The Wounded And The Dying”, “Your Heaven Is My Underworld” and “One With The Sea (Part 2)”. These might change though. The title for the new album will most probably be “Mors Viri”.

We have fulfilled our contractual obligations with Displeased Records (http://www.displeasedrecords.com/), so we are currently unsigned. We will record the album and shop it around when it is done and we’re positive one or even more labels will be interested. Of course interested labels can get in touch right away as well.

Next to that we can already mention that we came to an agreement with Spanish label Memento Mori (http://www.memento-mori.es/) to record some exclusive tracks for a split album with our German friends Ophis (http://www.ophisdoom.de/). This one should see the light of day in the fall of 2011.

Next to the recordings we have some great gigs lined up for you, so you can catch us on stage again in 2011. In additional news we can mention that Ed Warby has started recording the second full-length of The 11th Hour (http://www.myspace.com/11thhourdoom). As you might know Bram and Pim are part of the live band and can be seen live on stage with The 11th Hour on a couple occasions.

Pim was also asked by AJ of Beyond Belief (http://www.myspace.com/beyondbeliefofficial) and Seth of Severe Torture (http://www.severetorture.com/) to provide vocals to their new project called Extreme Cold Winter (http://www.myspace.com/extremecoldwinter), so keep an eye out for that one too!
*** UK doom legends MY DYING BRIDE are marking the bands 20th anniversary with the release of "Evinta": FROM MY DYING BRIDE: special project to re-work familiar melodies and themes from its extensive catalogue into long, flowing symphonic compositions, incorporating new vocals and passages from vocalist, Aaron Stainthorpe. These arrangements have been brought to life in co-operation with keyboard maestro Johnny Maudling (of BAL-SAGOTH fame), as well as a clutch of talented classical musicians, and shared vocals courtesy of professional opera singer Lucie Roche. The collection — titled "Evinta" — will be released on May 31 via Peaceville Records as a two-disc set and deluxe three-disc edition with 64-page book inspired by MY DYING BRIDE's illustrious recordings of the past two decades.
A project almost 15 years in the making. An idea that has sat smoldering and never really had a reason to burn alive until now. Nine albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MY DYING BRIDE. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past. Finally the 20th anniversary allows us to release this music in a form it has been desperately, woefully waiting for. Enjoy the darkness."

**** Finnish doomsters SHAPE OF DESPAIR shall unleash a split 7 inch with Portuguese doomsters BEFORE THE RAIN. The split 7 inch shall be unleashed in June 2011 by AVANTGARDE Productions from Italy. Shape of Despair side is a cover version of the LYCIA song "Estrella" with Natalie on vocals only. FROM SHAPE OF DESPAIR: ‘Shape of Despair have parted ways with the vocalist Pasi Koskinen. Main reason is Pasi's contribution to his own band Ajattara which takes most of his time. We wish him the best for his future works and thank for the work we've done altogether.
There's no announcement yet for the next vocalist but at the moment Shape of despair is working on material for the next full-length album which hopefully sees the light next year.’
****** U.S. doom warriors LOSS have inked a deal with PROFOUND LORE:
fter what has seemed like an eternal trial, cursed U.S. doom metal overlords LOSS have finally completed work on their debut full-length album, aptly titled “Despond”.

In what has become a culmination of many years of personal struggle, torment, depression, anxiety, and despair, LOSS have created an epic mournful dirge that serves its purpose as a monumental ode to suffering, negativity, and death.

Already harnessing a respectable reputation within doom metal, through the band’s repertoire that comprises of several EPs and splits (alongside bands such as Worship, Necros Christos, and Morunful Congregation) and most notably from their revered “Life Without Hope… Death Without Reason...” mini-album, “Despond” will serve as a self-reflective work of doom metal art that will bring one face to face with the fragility and the inevitable finality of life’s continuum.

To be released May 31st, tracklisting for “Despond” goes as follows:

1. Weathering The Blight
2. Open Veins To A Curtain Closed
3. Cut Up, Depressed And Alone
4. Deprived Of The Void
5. An Ill Body Seats My Sinking Sight
6. Despond
7. Shallow Pulse
8. Conceptual Funeralism Unto The Final Act (Of Being)
9. Silent And Completely Overcome (feat. guest vocals from Brett Campbell of Pallbearer)
10. The Irreparable Act

An MP3 of the track ‘An Ill Body Seats My Sinking Sight’ can be heard HERE

LOSS are:
Mike Meacham – Vocals/guitar
John Anderson – bass
Jay LeMaire - drums
Tim Lewis – guitars

LOSS are also playing their record release show on May 20th where the band will be performing "Despond" in its entirety.
**** Russian doomsters ABSTRACT SPIRIT have sent this update via the bands label SOLITUDE PRODUCTIONS:
"The new epic compositions are filled with the black atmosphere of insanity and despair expressed by performance of live choirs, wind funeral orchestra, keyboard passages and powerful guitar riffs. Another feature of all compositions is represented by unique growl by A.K. iEzor (also appearing in Comatose Vigil). «Horror Vacui» confirms the status of Abstract Spirit as one of the leading Russian Funeral Doom Metal bands."

'Me and Wino — he’s on the [Earthride] record too. He plays on the one track “Supernatural Illusion,” and he’s singing on there, and he plays a pretty crazy-ass lead. Sounds more Vitus-y. But me and him, we’ve been talking and shit, and he’s doing his Shrinebuilder and his Vitus right now, and I think he might even do another tour of his Wino thing, and I think he’s got an acoustic thing, but amongst all that stuff, I think we might be able to pull something out next year [2011]. Something might happen then."

******** Indiana doom warriors THE GATES OF SLUMBER have announced the release and track listing of the bands anticipated new release "The Wretch": FROM THE GATES OF SLUMBER: NEW SONG "COVEN OF CAIN" PREMIERES VIA DECIBEL
Doom lords THE GATES OF SLUMBER will unleash their hotly-anticipated fifth full-length album The Wretch on May 10, 2011 via Rise Above Records / Metal Blade. Featuring eight slabs of punishing metal, The Wretch boils doom down to its purest form, resulting in the Indianapolis trio's finest work to date.

Recorded during the cold British winter of 2010 at London's Orgone Studios and produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (GHOST, ANGEL WITCH), The Wretch sees THE GATES OF SLUMBER pushing its trademark blend of skull-crushing riffs and pounding rhythms to new heights and marks a return to the slower all-out doom tempos of the group's early albums combined with "true doom metal" lyrical themes. From the funereal crawl of opener "Bastards Born" and the all-powerful title track, to the pounding stomp of "The Scovrge ov Drvnkenness", the barbaric "To the Rack with Them" and the epic "Castle of the Devil", The Wretch is a future classic featuring outstanding performances and some of the heaviest metal you will hear in 2011. The album's deathly cover art is taken from a watercolor and gouache painting by Arik "Moonhawk" Roper (HIGH ON FIRE) titled "Emerald Eclipse".

Today, Decibel premieres the new GATES song "Coven of Cain". Doom out at this location!
The track listing for The Wretch is as follows:
1.) Bastards Born
2.) The Scovrge Ov Drvnkenness
3.) To The Rack With Them
4.) Day of Farewell
5.) Castle of the Devil
6.) Coven of Cain

************* Promoters for the BALTIMORE DOOM METAL FESTIVAL have stated that there will NOT be another fest in 2011 and beyond. FROM BALTIMORE DOOM METAL FESTIVAL PROMOTERS:
Some people have asked me whether there will be another festival in Baltimore in 2011. Although it's been only a month since Born to Be Doomed, it's probably ok to say it now: I have no plans for another festival, in 2011 or afterward. BtBD was the final festival for me.

There's at least one American doom metal festival next year, in Kenosha, WI, and perhaps another in the works in Pittsburgh, PA. Great bands will play at both, I'm sure. Maybe John Gallo will revive the Born Too Late festival one day, too?

So, thank you to all the bands and fans who made the Baltimore festivals such a good time.

Cheers,
John

********************* CANDLEMASS sent this update in APRIL: Swedish doom metal icons CANDLEMASS will release Ashes To Ashes on June 29th in North America. Bassist and mastermind Leif Edling commented on what to expect from the legendary bands first ever live DVD/CD set with vocalist Robert Lowe (SOLITUDE AETURNUS):

“Death Magic Doom was the turning point for us. All of a sudden we were back up there – in demand, getting great reviews, playing gigs for lots of people. Shit, even Sweden Rock wanted us! The big stage at 17.00, before ZZ Top and Twisted Sister. And we did good. 25 000 people cheered during our 80 min set. Goosebumps!



People always ask me, what do you prefer – a huge outdoor stage or a smaller club? My answer is both! I love the big Summer festivals, the atmosphere, the party, hanging out with old and new friends, the massive crowds! But I also have a weak spot for the clubs. The sweat, the intimacy, the communication, the rawness!



Here on this DVD you get both! A great representation of CANDLEMASS 2009! Two of the best shows we played this year. Sweden Rock and Athens. Outdoors vs. indoors. Big versus small. 25 000 people against 1000. Daytime….evening…..One gig is more brutal and in your face, the other more polished and produced. Hope you enjoy both as I do!”

*********************************** Greek doom metal warriors SORROWS PATH are working on new material for their sophomore album, tentatively due in 2012. The CD will contain 10 songs and will be recorded later this year at Fragile studios in Greece. Songtitles set to appear on the effort include "The King With A Crown Of Thorns" and "Brother Of Life".
************************************* ENCOFFINATION To Unleash Second Full-Length
The tombs are closed and the coffins are lowered. The sun bleaches the gravestones and the flowers wither. The sun settles and the darkness rises. The stench of death still lingers and the presence of doom is inimitable. The ritual preparation of the dead is complete. ENCOFFINATION arises from the crypts to worship this ritual of death.

Returning after last year's suffocating debut album Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh, ENCOFFINATION is about to strike back with their new opus to death. O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres is the definition of lurching, oppressive, sickening "funeral doom of death metal." Picking up where they left off with the previous album, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres will define ENCOFFINATION's signature sound; suffocating doom wrapped in the pure stench of death. The album will include up to ten new songs of abysmal, funeral-bound death metal, recorded in Cooper, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia between January and May 2011.

Guitarist/vocalist Ghoat (Father Befouled, Vomitchapel) says of the new album: "Expect pure darkness. Take everything we have done before and turn it up. More death, more gloom, more decay. Guitars will crush, vocals will possess, and the atmosphere of ENCOFFINATION will strangle you. We are adding more texture in the riffs, more things to take you by the throat and steal your breath."

Based on Ghoat's own experiences of working in the funeral industry, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres will be a concept... not in the linear sense, but abstract; from the death of the human form to the sacrifice of flesh into the Earth. The album will be released via Poland's Selfmadegod Records later this Summer. More info and an official release date will be announced in the coming weeks.
**************************************************** Adelaide, Australia doomsters
