German quartet Angel of Damnation have been a going concern since 2004, through which time they’ve launched a pair full-lengths, an EP and a single, and appeared on some cut up information. That’s to say, not a ton of labor carried out 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 presently in) quite a few different bands, notably 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. Assume early Candlemass, Witchfinder Common and St. Vitus. And don’t miss closing monitor “Anal Worship of the Goatlord”!
Ethereal Blasphemy was recorded and produced in Avenger’s personal cellar, often known 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 by way of 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 manner. We merely got down to write and document songs we might love to listen to ourselves. In any case, doom steel—and steel usually—is timeless. That is by far our most full and centered album up to now. A number of coronary heart went into each a part of it, with particular consideration paid to even the smallest particulars. We hope you may really feel the identical ardour listening to it as we did creating it.”
