German quartet Angel of Damnation have been a going concern since 2004, wherein time they’ve launched a pair full-lengths, an EP and a single, and appeared on some break up data. That’s to say, not a ton of labor performed in 21 years. However one glimpse on the members’—Avenger (guitars/bass/keyboards), Doomcult Messiah (vocals), Forcas (bass), Neudi (drums)—CVs on Steel Archives and you’ll see why. They’ve all been in (or are at present in) quite a few different bands, significantly drummer Andreas “Nuedi” Neuderth! Nonetheless, they’ve assembled right here for the third Angel of Damnation full-length, Ethereal Blasphemy, which is a seven-track manifesto of creepy, proto-doom occult rock. Suppose early Candlemass, Witchfinder Common and St. Vitus. And don’t miss closing observe “Anal Worship of the Goatlord”!
Ethereal Blasphemy was recorded and produced in Avenger’s personal cellar, referred to as the Someplace in Nowhere Studio. Mixing and mastering was on the Journey Into Eternity Studios. It’s set for launch on vinyl, CD and digitally through Dying Victims Productions on June 20. Place your preorder right here or right here.
The band had this to say about its third full-length:
“One other seven years have handed since we launched our final album—not that this recurring cycle was ever deliberate in any approach. We merely got down to write and file songs we might love to listen to ourselves. In spite of everything, doom metallic—and metallic on the whole—is timeless. That is by far our most full and centered album up to now. Plenty of coronary heart went into each a part of it, with particular consideration paid to even the smallest particulars. We hope you possibly can really feel the identical ardour listening to it as we did creating it.”
