*California, USA doomsters MORGION have re united. FROM MORGION: September 1991 marked the birth of MORGION, thus August 2011 commemorates the resurrection of MORGION! A return to enlightenment and woe... After a few phone calls and e-mails, a group meeting and a few more phone calls afterwards, MORGION has made the decision for a reunion. Why might you ask? Primarily the same gentlemen responsible for the Autopsy reunion are the same culprits responsible for this! After 11 years, Jeremy Peto, Dwayne Boardman (Dustflow, Creepersin), Rhett Davis (Gravehill), and Gary Griffith (Dustflow, Before the Rain, Creepersin)—the line-up for the “Solinari” record—will make their return to the stage at Maryland Deathfest X!

With this exclusive live opportunity on the horizon, we also decided to make available some past material for release!

Dark Descent Records has agreed to release the earliest recordings of MORGION in a CD & 12" vinyl release entitled “God of Death & Disease”. This release will feature the remastering talents of Ryan Butler of Arcane Digital, cover art by Mark Riddick, and all the tracks within the 1991 “Rabid Decay” & “1992 Live Rehearsal” demos and the “Travesty” 7" EP songs. MORGION could not have chosen a better label to trust our earliest material with!

Also, Parasitic Records has agreed to release a double 12" gatefold vinyl collection for the “Solinari” record, which will also feature the “Oceans Without Shores” EP tracks! Packaging, layout and quality will be the best possible, MORGION is very pleased to be working with Tim/Parasitic on this release, which some consider our most valued work!

***** Finnish doomsters FALL OF THE IDOLS drummer Hannu Weckman was found dead last JUNE.

FROM WIKEPEDIA: The band suffered a tragic loss amidst on recording their 3rd album when the drummer Hannu Weckman died in June 2011 in the age of 28. Despite this the work on the album has continued and the band intends go on with their career.

****** From the ashes of Austrialian doomsters DISEMBOWELMENT check out d.usk:

http://www.myspace.com/duskdeathdoom

Conceived in early 2010, the d.USK entity was the chance to finally realize the sonic palette that was diSEMBOWELMENT, and allow us to present the music to the underground in a truly live context. As a result, this project encapsulates the classic, brooding,sombre brutality of diSEMBOWELMENT, and brings with it the antecedents of classic Trial of The Bow ambience and atmosphere. In context we have added a healthy dose of our old-school roots ... The d.USK live show is a study in dynamic control, intense mood-swings and sonic devastation. We hope that those present will be taken on a journey - to be actively engaged in a deep sensory procession ..... This is our gift to those of the underground that care to receive..... Keep in mind that d.USK is purely a live realization of the classic diSEMBOWELMENT songs. With only two original members, we feel it would be a travesty to pretend to anything else. .. we hope to catch up with you all at any of our future shows ..

******** German funeral doom project WORSHIP have sent this update as the band has launched thier official FACEBOOK (http://www.facebook.com/WorshipDoom):

pfr………. My drummer is kicking my butt, he wants to finish his recordings next month, will try to make it happen! At least, next week I will have a look at new necessary equipment for the recordings… Still working on the lyrics, should have been done days ago… But I am often distracted by my other music duties, it’s a strange situation I am living in nowadays.

The poll looks OK, seems like 10% are pissed off by a potential rerelease of the split EP songs, but the vast majority would love it… Will think about it for a while…

********** Maine, USA funeral doom project HALLOWED BUTCHERY have issued this update:

The USA-based progressive doom soloist Hallowed Butchery teams up with the French funeral doom soloist The Austrasian Goat for a monumental collaborative split 10″ based upon the moral stance of self-reliance, popularized and preached by the Transcendentalist movement of the 19th-century. In a world of consumerism, conformity, religious-brainwashing, and political bullshit, these two musical geniuses refuse to merely follow the pack. This is reflected in both their lyrical content, and in their approach to their music, which is performed in solitude, and which often defies categorization. The Austrasian Goat begins the split with two songs of dark, minimalistic, funeral doom reminiscent of Ahab, Celestiial, and Nortt, but with an approach all his own. On the second of the two dirges, Ryan Fairfield of Hallowed Butchery makes a guest appearance. Side two features one epic song from Hallowed Butchery. His song is different from anything he has done in the past – reminiscent of Hawkwind-on-a-bad-acid-trip with Black Sabbath chugging cough syrup, while My Bloody Valentine snorts a mishmash of pills. The song features guest appearances from Julien Louvet of The Austrasian Goat and Brad Bolduc of Terrible Old Man. In a nutshell, “Songs of Self-Reliance and Solitude” is music for the forward-thinking, the individualist, the anarchist, the artist, and the metal-head in us all.

http://www.vendettarecords.de

The split with VELNIAS and FALLS OF RAUROS (and 1 more tba) is still in the works. I am busy putting the finishing touches on my two songs. So far, we have a great group of record labels on board, including Howling Mine and Pesanta Urfolk. It is going to be EPIC. The song titles for the two new Hallowed Butchery songs (that will be appearing on the forthcoming 4-way split with Falls of Rauros, L'acephale, and Velnias) are: "Birthed in the Depths of a Frozen Hell" and "I Am the God of the Storm." \m/ \m/

http://blog.archstoneapartments.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/winterwarlock.jpg

Vendetta Records just received the test-pressings of The Austrasian Goat/Hallowed Butchery split 10". Apparently, it sounds "phat." After what seems like an endless wait, the 10" will be available by the end of the month; unfortunately not in time for the WITTR show though. PREORDERS/MUSIC CLIPS WILL BE AVAILABLE ASAP.

******* Norwegian funeral doomsters FUNERAL have inked a deal with GRAU RECORDS with an anticipated new release by fall 2011.

The debut album from the Italian band The Undergrave Experience. This is not another piece of standard funeral doom, but an entire journey to the world of horror culture. Being close to works of memorable band EA in their music style the musicians of The Undergrave Experience develop the darker side of the genre searching for inspiration in classical Italian horror movies. The album consists of two original tracks which the fans of gloom and horror aesthetics will surely like.

2. Zombie Graveyard Horizon (Ballata Mortale)

****************************** Finnish funeral doom legends UNHOLY will release a new offering.

FROM UNHOLY:

about third coming ie new Unholy album, rumours regarding this issue are true. However, as we live million miles away of each other it will take 1-2 years to finish new album. It´ll be mini cd/lp so no full length coming,also no gigs. Norhern Heritage records ( http://www.cfprod.com/nh/ ) will release all Unholy (+Holy Hell) demos as a gatefold double pic-lp´s in coming months+ "complete history of Unholy" booklet. At the moment we are finishing new layouts for Peacevilles re-issues, as Avantgardes versions were full of typos, bad scans etc . So, patience everything´s (re-issues demo-lp´s etc) out in following months..

****************** Almada, Portugal based gothic doomsters AVA INFRI have issued this update:

"We are very pleased to announce that the new drummer for Ava Inferi is none other than Sasha Horn, previously of Novembers Doom. After having had some contact with Sasha over the last few years I am now very happy we have come to this joint conclusion. The last of the lost keys has been recovered!

"I have for some time now wanted to strengthen the fundament of the band, to go deeper and to include some heavier and more powerful elements into the sound of our creations. I truly believe that Sasha possesses the necessary qualities to make this happen, and I am highly confident about the next steps in our path together" founder Rune Eriksen commented"

Sasha had this to say about joining the band: "I was ecstatic beyond belief when this opportunity was brought to me, and needless to say, I jumped at the chance! I'm a huge fan of what Ava Inferi has created, and we anticipate wonderful things as a result of this new union".

***************** Dutch doomsters OFFICIUM TRISTE have sent this update on the bands anticipated new release entitled "Mors Viri" due out soon.

FROM OFFICIUM TRISTE:

"Everything has been recorded except for a small acoustic guitar piece in one of the songs that Martin will record shortly. Then Martin needs to do some editing on the recordings before it will all be sent off to Sweden where Ronnie Björnström of Enhanced Audio Productions will mix and master the album. When that's done, we will start looking for the best possible label to release our fifth full-length recording. Some labels already showed interest, so we have high hopes we can come to a suitable agreement. Oh, and we can tell that the rough mixes already sound devastating!"

Songtitles set to appear on the new OFFICIUM TRISTE CD include "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)".

************* Chicago, Illinois doomsters NOVEMBERS DOOM have sent this update stating the band has parted ways with thier drummer Sasha Horn whom has just joined Portugal based doomsters AVA INFERI.

FROM NOVEMBERS DOOM:

FROM AVA INFERI:

Commented Rune: "After having had some contact with Sasha over the last few years, I am now very happy we have come to this joint conclusion. The last of the lost keys has been recovered!

Sasha had this to say about joining the band: "I was ecstatic beyond belief when this opportunity was brought to me, and needless to say, I jumped at the chance! I'm a huge fan of what AVA INFERI has created, and we anticipate wonderful things as a result of this new union."

************ UK gothic doom legends MY DYING BRIDE shall release an EP entitiled

"'The Barghest O' Whitby" EP due to be unleashed 11/7/2011 on PEACEVILLE RECORDS.

FROM MY DYING BRIDE:

This single track, 25-minute epic represents the epitome of poetic grace and funeral soundscapes from one of gothic doom's most celebrated acts. With a masterful blend of pounding guitar riffs and sombre atmospheric passages, MY DYING BRIDE embarks on a chilling journey through superstition and folklore. "Carrying straight on from the success of 'Evinta' found us kind of out of breath for a second; we were already aware of a new-found love of all things bleak and grey and were eager to start writing in a more traditional MY DYING BRIDE style. What did catch us off guard was the increased heaviness and the fresh approach to song writing. Moving away somewhat with the lyrical theme from our usual feeding ground, we found ourselves on the rainy moors of Yorkshire contemplating the story of the Barghest, a supernatural entity hell bent on revenge. The tale now to be told wove itself into a 25-minute epic which initially we thought would be a three part EP, but it simply became one very long song full of everything MY DYING BRIDE and more. The violins conjure lonely tears atop a chasm of epic British doom."
