Life After Deathfest: Maryland Deathfest at Sonar
ShareThis | Print Post This | Like (1) | Comments (0)
20110526-deathfest-450.jpg
Maryland Deathfest is for lovers. And crust punks and heshers and metalheads. And mild-mannered Metro riders. Despite the extreme name (and music), Deathfest is for almost everybody.
"That is true. It's bringing together anyone who's interested in any subgenre," said Ryan Taylor, who's co-founder of the fest with Evan Harting. "I think that's a huge reason for its success and another reason why people continue to come back — that sense of community and unity."
Now in its ninth year, Deathfest has grown into a local Memorial Day weekend tradition for fans of heavy music. More than 60 bands will thrash, bash and trash their guitars for about 4,000 people, some of whom travel from Europe because of Deathfest's top-notch booking. Taylor and Harting always manage to snag bands that rarely appear in this region or that have been broken up for years only to return because of Deathfest's insistence.
Taylor cited three bookings for Deathfest 2011 that fall into that special category, starting with Thursday headliners and English doom-metal legends Cathedral. "It's also billed as their last-ever U.S. show because they're calling it quits later this year," Taylor adds.
On Friday, it's Neurosis, a wildly experimental U.S. band that's been melding ambient, metal and industrial noise since 1985. "I've read tons of reviews about their live show being really mesmerizing and just overwhelming with the wall of sound they put out there," Taylor says.
On Sunday, it's Swiss thrashers Coroner, which broke up in 1996 and re-formed last year. This will be the band's first U.S. show in 15 years.
Four days of bludgeoning jams is nothing to a pure metalhead. But what if you're curious about all the guttural barking but don't have that much time to devote to Deathfest?
"For someone to dive into the deep end and get a feel for just how varied the bands are over the course of one day, Friday is a great representation of that," Taylor says. "There's black-metal bands, thrash bands, grindcore bands," with Neurosis repping the softer side.
Think of it as an advanced special section of a musical anthropology class. But with more corpse paint and beer.
20110526-deathfest-250.jpgA (Leather-Pants) Pocket Guide to Deathfest
Scariest Bands: Ghost — of eerie face paint and pope outfits — and Marduk, a satanically brutal black-metal band. Both hail from Sweden, land of metal and bikini teams.
Most Ungodly Band Names: Finland's Impaled Nazarene and Ohio's Nunslaughter are least likely to have a sit-down with St. Peter.
Crossover Appeal: Back in the day, punk and metal didn't get along. But the times, they are a-changing. Metal-friendly punkers to catch include Southern California-based trio Nails and Baltimore's Pulling Teeth. North Carolina's Corrosion of Conformity hasn't been punk for years, but it was a hardcore band in the '80s, so we'll grandfather it in as peacemakers.
Scared, Yet Curious? Get extreme from the comfort of your La-Z-Boy with "Maryland Deathfest: The Movie" and "Maryland Deathfest: The Movie 2," which document the '09 and '10 events, respectively.

Opeth To Release Heritage This September!
Swedish death metal veterans OPETH have revealed details and tracklisting of the bands anticipated new release entitled "Heritage" due out on ROADRUNNER RECORDS in September.
FROM OPETH:
Opeth are set to release their highly anticipated new album Heritage this coming fall. Check out the official press release.
Sweden’s most revered and respected progressive metal mavens Opeth will release Heritage, their third album for Roadrunner, on September 20th. The first video and single will be the song “The Devil’s Orchard”. Heritage follows up 2008’s Watershed and 2005’s Ghost Reveries, each of which garnered the forward-thinking, genre-bending band some of the best reviews of their career.
Opeth frontman and guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt weighed in on Heritage, saying, "It will be our 10th album/observation. I dig it; we all do. In fact, it feels like I've been building up to write for and participate on an album like this since I was 19."
Åkerfeldt went a little deeper and described the music contained within Heritage, saying, "It's quite intense at times in some 'old' murky way, and quite beautiful and stark at times, if I may say so myself. It's obvious I'm going to say nice things about it since I wrote basically the whole piece, but I guess it will raise a few eyebrows and it certainly is an acquired taste. I think you'll need a slightly deeper understanding of our music as a whole to be able to appreciate this record. I've realized my influences for this album are so diverse that I can't really say what it sounds like. If I can compare it to any other band, it would have to be Opeth, but it's different from the stuff we've done before. I've listened a lot to Alice Cooper for the last year, yet I can't say it sounds like 'No More Mr. Nice Guy'. I hope you'll like it once you hear it."
The album was produced by Åkerfeldt and mixed along with Porcupine Tree frontman/guitarist Steven Wilson, who is also a labelmate of Opeth. Longtime collaborator Travis Smith also worked with Åkerfeldt to create, design and execute the album’s artwork.
Track listing for Heritage is as follows:
"Heritage"
"The Devil's Orchard"
"I Feel the Dark"
"Slither"
"Nepenthe"
"Haxprocess"
"Famine"
"The Lines in My Hand"
"Folklore"
"Marrow of the Earth"
Heritage will be released in several configurations that will certainly incite the interest of Opeth’s legion of fans, known for their passion for collecting and collectibles. The album will be released as a standard version; as a special edition loaded with extras; as a box set exclusive to the Roadrunner and the bands own official Omerch webstore; and as a double LP. There is something for every Opeth fan, thanks to this variety of options.
Opeth will also embark on a seven-week, headline tour of the US. Dates will be announced imminently.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

Tour promoter Rock The Nation turns back the time for you headbangers, catapulting you back into the glorious Eighties — the unforgettable days of prime for thrash metal — with a phenomenal package of top acts. Hardly another period of time carries so much metal history with it than this one. Rough, rapid and impulsive sounds dominated the whole music-industry at that time. Breath-taking masterpieces of metallic art, which still enjoy authority and significance these days, emerged out of the creative urge of charismatic musicians and bands. Now the time is right to let the flair, the feeling and the sounds rise again! Thrashfest Classics is a pure celebration for the high-culture of thrash metal.

HELL Have Entered The German Album Top 50 Charts
UK metal warriors HELL have entered the German charts at 46 30 years after forming.
FROM NUCLEAR BLAST: Nearly 30 years after originally forming in 1982 UK`s Heavy Metal legends HELL have entered the German album charts with their debut album Human Remains at #46!
HELL were founded in 1982 out of the remains of two classic NWoBHM bands, Race Against Time and Paralex. They signed with Mausoleum in 1985 but split in ‘86 after the label went bankrupt. After the suicide of original singer Dave Halliday in 1987 the remaining members gave up any hope of reforming.
More than two decades later the band is back with huge success. Producer/guitarist Andy Sneap, being a close friend of the band, brought the remaining band members back together again three years ago to ressurect the old material and bring HELL back to life. The result was Human Remains, ten old HELL classics re-recorded. Released last week to unanimous appraisal across Europe, US and Japan, HUMAN REMAINS entered the German trend charts at #12 with the final weeks national chart position being #46.

ONLY ONE PER COFFIN ITP V.O11: RIP Twan Fleuren (EX BASSIST OF LEGION OF THE DAMNED)
According to Dutch thrashers LEGION OF THE DAMNED, ex bassist Twan Fleuren has committed suicide.
FROM LEGION OF THE DAMNED:
May 21 - 2011 : After swallowing the departure of guitarist Richard Ebisch a few weeks ago, Legion of the damned got yet another sad news delivered to their camp: ex bassplayer and friend Twan Fleuren commited suicide.
Twan joined the band Occult in 1998 where he directly joined them on a tour with Morbid Angel, Amon Amarth and Gorgoroth in 1999, after the recording of Occult's "Rage to revenge" in 2001 and 2 great tours with Dark Funeral in 2001 and Exodus, Nuclear Assault and Agent Steel in 2003, Twan Fleuren was also at the beginning of the succes of Legion of the damned and recorded with the band the legendary "Elegy for the weak" with Andy Classen in 2003 that was later re-released under the name "Feel the blade" in 2007, as well as the recording of "Malevolent rapture" in 2004, which was released in 2006, the album that brought Legion of the damned to a level where they are in right now.
Twan Fleuren was also part of the first Legion of the damned tour that took place in 2006 with no one less than Kataklysm and Cannibal Corpse, however, Twan left the band half way the tour because his, at that time, baby born son was hospitalized, the band then agreed that it would be better for Twan to leave the band because doing the band and having its family was to complicated at that point, he was then replaced by bassplayer Harold Gielen in 2006.
About Twan's lost singer Maurice states: "Another very sad day in the Legion camp, Twan has been a great friend and we lost contact for several years because he was in some difficult times, only a few weeks back we were all back in contact again and it felt like these great old times were about to return, even Erik and me joined him on a terrace for a beer or 2 a few weeks ago, he even wanted to join us to With Full Force in July, where I was really looking forward to, he even showed alot of intrest in our new guitarplayer and the departure of Richard Ebisch. The bad news that came in today struck as a bomb not for me only personally but also for the band Legion of the damned.
Of course we wish his family and kids all the strength they need in this process. We will miss you brother and of course all of the upcoming Legion of the damned shows will be dedicated in his name!" Drummer Erik announced following: "Yet another sad day in the history of Legion of the damned. We knew that Twan had to face some extreme difficult times, but we certainly did not expect this, he was about to join us at some upcoming festivals and we were really looking forward to that. Maurice and I are happy that we still had a nice chat and drink with him at a terrace not so long ago after a really long time of not seeing eachother, rest in peace my friend and my sincere condolences to his family"
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal- R.I.P. Twan Fleuren \m/ -l-

SINISTER CHANGE LINEUP
European (Netherlands (Schiedam/South Holland) extreme metal warriors SINISTER have sent this update on line up changes via MASSACRE RECORDS.
FROM MASSACRE RECORDS:
Band members leave SINISTER
Oh well, we've got bad news for you.
First of all SINISTER have to cancel their appearance at Mexico's Metal In The Forest Festival, because some members aren't able to leave their work. The band did everything to make it happen, but in the end it didn't work out.
Unfortunately this would have been the last show in the current line-up from SINISTER, which means this would have been the last chance to see the band live in this formation.
As you may already have heard guitarist Alex Paul, drummer Edwin van den Eeden and bassist Joost van der Graaf have left the band.
Vocalist Aad Kloosterwaard is now the only remaining band member.
He comments:
"But don't be afraid the band will go on with a new line-up .. and will let the Sinister flame burn for some more years to come."
FROM SINISTER:
hello aad here .. with a statement !!!
Hailz ..
To all Mexican fans,
I am really sorry to tell you that Sinister is not able to play the metal in the forest festival this year.
The reason that we have to cancel is .. that some members are not able to leave their work .. we did everything to make it work but at the end it didnt work out.
I feel really bad about this .. because i was so looking forward to come to Mexico again and meet all our fans after a really long time.
And there was another thing .. this was also the last show in this line-up from Sinister .. so for alot of people the last chance to see us playing in this formation.
But don't be afraid the band will go on with a new line-up .. and will let the Sinister flame burn for some more years to come.
Thanks alot for you understanding

AETURNUS: FAN QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Norwegian blackened extreme metal warriors AETURNUS have hosted a fan/band question and answer session posted today.
FROM AETURNUS: Ok so ppl wonder and ask as always: How's the new shit sounding like compared to the last album, the first album, this and that year and so on on ... and we 2think it's great.
So to answer some of your questions that seems to come back a lot, here we go:
1. Is the new album longer than Hexaeon?
- Yes it is. Hexaeon could have been longer than what it was, but it was what it is still is.
2. Do we go back to more atmospheric elements from the older (2 first) albums?
- Yes, to an extent we do, but that depends on what one means, you know?!
3. Is there Death Metal elements as heard on the last 3 albums?
- Yes there is, we still enjoy Death Metal and we do mix that into our style. Trying of course not to have the listener think about some other DeathMetal band and so forth, but what can you do?!
4. Is there acoustics and so forth on the next album?
- We have some cool ideas and material this time with acoustic guitars yes.
5. Are you going back to the roots of the older Aeternus?
- Understanding it correctly? ... No not really. We have some atmospheres that takes us/you back to the late -90's albums and so forth, but we think ahead, not backwards.
6. How's Phobos drumming compared to Eriks drumming, is he true to Eriks style?
- Phobos has his own style and what he gives the new songs with his drumming is a whole of a lot. He never tried copying Eriks drumming or style, but he has respected the foundation of drumming that Aeternus' drumming in all our songs have and he has kept some of that glow and heaviness. Phobos arranges the drums how he wants them, not how Erik would have wanted them.
7. When is the new album out?
- Next year, Can't say much more than that. Before the end of spring 2012 we hope.
8. Will there be any touring?
- We have no plans for that, though we'll put a lot of weight on doing a lot of live shows, for sure.
Ok, so that's that for now, it sums up pretty much what ppl are wondering about these days ... thanks for asking about what's going on with us folks. We appreciate that a lot. Cheers!

*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

** 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!

Nine albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MY DYING BRIDE. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past.

**** 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."

The upcoming album is on its way to be mixed very soon, and it sounds really good! Our two newest members, Sindre and Rune, make the album sound even better than we had hoped for!

We can also add that "To Mourn Is A Virtue" is in the print!
Saturday, march 19., we're doing a gig in Oslo, Norway at Betong. We haven't played in Norway in over three years, so we're very excited to present both old and brand new material! Mammuth is supporting us! See you there!
Decenber 7.10 - Some of you might have heard the news that we will release an album called "To mourn is a virtue", and that it will contain recordings from the Academy-sessions back in 1996 with vocals from various singers. Solitude Productions has now released a compilation of their bands, and if you click here, you can hear a clip from the song "The Poison".
We also have the pleasure of introducing Rune Gandrud as our new bass player! He's an extremely talented bassist and musician, and we're proud to have him in our family, as well as playing on the upcoming album!

******** 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
7.) The Wretch

************* 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
Mournful Congregation have confirmed the title of the bands new release "The Book of Kings".

*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
06. Of Age and Origin – Part 2: A Day of Joy

** 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."

****** SPIRIT CARAVAN have confirmed a reunion. FROM DAVE SHERMAN:
'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."

SP. 048-11 Funeral “To Mourn Is A Virtue” doom death (release date: 24.05.2011)
******** 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

************* 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
Mournful Congregation have confirmed the title of the bands new release "The Book of Kings".

We are also pleased to announce that a unique performance will take place in October with Mournful Congregation and diSEMBOWELMENT (d.USK) sharing the stage for the first time in our hometown of Adelaide, Australia. More details on this event will follow."

3.There Are no Roses at my Funeral (instrumental)
