Toner Low (NL) - Update & Tour dates

"In the past weeks we started working on songs for our third lp/cd, which will be released somewhere in 2012. Because we really wanna focus on the new material, in May and June we will do most of our gigs for this year, playing in all four corners of the Netherlands and doing two short tours in the upper half of Germany. After June we won't do much gigs for quite a long period of time (probably only one in the Netherlands, date to be announced). The confirmed dates for the next weeks are below, and one or more June-gigs in Germany will be added. Since last year or so we had a 7-inch release announced for 2011, but this plan has been abandoned in March when we decided that the intended left-over recordings from the 2008 studio-session weren't good enough. Please keep this in mind when you read the first ever interview to be answered by our drummer Jack with UK-based webzine The Sleeping Shaman. The interview is done by Pete from the band Pombagira, with which we had a short tour in September of last year." - Daan/Toner Low

Solitude Productions presents...

Abstract Spirit "Horror Vacui"



The new creation of the funeral doom metal masters Abstract Spirit, the album «Horror Vacui» combines ideas of two previous band albums. 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.

Tracklist:

1. За Пределами Сомкнутых Век
2. Post Mortem
3. Пульс
4. Vigilae Mortuorum (interludium)
5. Без Меня… Мертвое Завтра…
6. Атрофия Мировоззрения
7. Horror Vacui

LOSS “Despond” finally to be released May 31st

After 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…” 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 “Ichabod” Anderson – bass
Jay LeMaire - drums
Tim Lewis – guitars

The funeral is about to begin…

DOOMRAISER "Mountains of Madness" CD/LP out May 13th

Born out of an obsession with and a tribute to doom and occult psych rock, Italy’s Doomraiser builds their altar to the heavy bands of yesteryear and today, fusing doom metal, psychedelic rock and acid roll. They combine the doom of Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Goatsnake with a psychedelic touch and a ‘70s progressive rock charm into a very tasty concoction.

On one hand, the new album acknowledges previous recordings… On the other hand, there have been some significant changes which have given birth to yet another new sound. Mountains of Madness is an unholy invocation of gritty, sprawling psycho doom. Five tracks that will bring you to the total freaked-out madness.



Mountains of Madness track listing:
1. Mountains of Madness
2. Phoenix
3. Re-Connect
4. Vampires of the Sun
5. Like a Ghost


Mountains of Madness will be available on CD and LP via Bloodrock Records/Black Widow Records on May 13.

Additionally, Doomraiser have also just confirmed a release party to unveil the material on Mountains of Madness to the public. The live ritual is on May 27 at Init Club, Rome. Opening bands the amazing space doom travelers Ira Del Baccano and the occult groovy doom crushers Misantropus.

May 13th: Apostle of Solitude / Rituals of the Oak / The Flight of Sleipnir - Split Digi CD/LP

This split presents three different kinds of Doom from three Eyes Like Snow bands. All three have their own unique style but the common denominator here is traditional Doom Metal. While Apostle of Solitude are perhaps the most "classic" Doom band on this release, with a strong 80s influence, Rituals of the Oak, like on their debut album, deliver a monumental piece of Epic Doom Metal with grandiose female vocals, and The Flight of Sleipnir offer two fantastic pieces of the killer Viking/Doom blend for which they are known. All songs on this split are brand new compositions and exclusive to this limited DigiCD & LP. It comes with another killer artwork by D.C. as the icing on this tasty cake.

Track List:
1. Apostle of Solitude - This Mania 5:44
2. Rituals of the Oak - Hallward 17:38
3. The Flight of Sleipnir - A Legacy of Iron 7:11
4. Apostle of Solitude - Transgressions 11:51
5. The Flight of Sleipnir - Draugr 7:21
Total playing time 49:49
