Cited as one of the earliest death/doom metal bands to come out of the U.S., Chicago's NOVEMBERS DOOM will release its ninth studio album, titled "Bled White", on July 15 via The End Records. The follow-up to 2011's "Apothic" was recorded at Belle City Sound with engineer Chris Wisco (JUNGLE ROT, NACHTMYSTIUM) handling recording and co-production duties, and Dan Swanö (BLOODBATH, NIGHTINGALE) spearheading the mixing.
"Every time a band writes and records a new album, they always say things like, 'This is our best yet!' and it usually isn't," says NOVEMBERS DOOM's Paul Kuhr.
"Is this our best yet? I'll let you decide that, since opinions are all objective. What I will say is this... We approached 'Bled White' differently than the past. We put a lot more focus on vocal melodies and harmonies this time around, creating a new soundscape for NOVEMBERS DOOM. The music is punishing at times with my heaviest growls to date, and others will take you to a new place entirely for us exploring new ground. It's very different at times, but it remains NOVEMBERS DOOM.
"I won't say it's our best, but I'll tell you it's the one I'm most proud of... OK. It's our best yet."
Ever since its humble beginnings in 1989, NOVEMBERS DOOM has striven to create its own unique brand of dark, brooding and melancholic metal music. Constantly evolving and pushing the restrictions of minor genre tags, the band has created a unique and identifiable sound, making its mark in the metal world.
Consisting of founder/vocalist/lyricist Paul Kuhr, Larry Roberts (guitar), Vito Marchese (guitar), Mike Feldman (bass) and Garry Naples (drums), NOVEMBERS DOOM has garnered international success by performing with such bands as AGALLOCH, SATURNUS, AJATTARA and NIGHTINGALE, as well as making high-profile festival appearances at Brutal Assault, Graspop Metal Meeting and Caos Emergente.
The band plans to tour the U.S. and Europe in 2014 in support of the new studio release.
"Bled White" track listing:
01. Bled White 02. Heartfelt 03. Just Breathe 04. Scorpius 05. Unrest 06. The Memory Room 07. The Brave Pawn 08. Clear 09. The Grand Circle 10. Animus 11. The Silent Dark
After the Scion Festival in Pomona, High On Fire has a few shows on the East Coast and Midwest, then some dates in Europe. Any other plans or announcements you can make for fans?
We have some shows in the Chicago area at the end of this month lined up, then we'll be going to Europe for a tour this summer, June and July; and also we're playing the Hopscotch Festival in North Carolina at the end of the summer as well. That's all we have lined up for now. After that we plan to make a record. It's a crazy project that is still in the works. I can't really explain what it's about now, but I've been writing a lot of crazy intense material that will up the ante, and bring things to another level.
Following months of speculation,Foo Fightershave finally confirmed details of their highly-anticipated eighth studio album. The as-yet-untitled record, serving as the follow-up to 2011′s excellentWasting Light, will arrive in the fall through Roswell/RCA Records.
The album’s release will coincide with the airing of Dave Grohl’s new HBO TV series, which was first reported yesterday. According to a press release, the series will document Foo Fighters’ sessions in eight different cities — Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York — as they record the album in various legendary studios.
The press release explains: “One song was recorded in each city, every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style: Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
“Each episode delves into the singular regional identity of each city-how each region shaped these musicians in their formative years, and in turn the impact those people had on the cultural fabric of their hometowns-ultimately celebrating their common bond: Every artist that appears in the show, regardless of genre or locale, started as an average kid with the universal dreams of making music and making it big.”
The first episode of the series will premiere on the eve of the band’s 20th anniversary. Grohl himself served as director.
Additional details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
