Here is a good news indeed for those who love powerful and passionate doom graced by that peculiar "something" British doomsters are able to infuse. A great, long-lived and tenacious band, UNSILENCE, is back into action and is progressing in the completion of their new album. I was happy like a kid at this news because I love this band and I am proudly owning all the solid CDs made by these gentlemen.
Here is the text of the announcement made by band member Kieron Tuohey on Facebook:
"This month, UK doom metal act Unsilence will start recording their next album at Full Stack Studio in Great Harwood, Lancashire with Matt Richardson engineering.
The album, as yet untitled, will feature seven songs which are:
The Doorway
Breaking Away
A Fire On The Sea
A Thousand Seasons
On Wild Fields
Old Tides
Unchained.
Now in our twentieth year, this will be our second album and the first since 2009's 'Under A Torn Sky' (PsychDOOMelic/Labyrinth Of Thoughts). As well as Unsilence mainstays of Kieron Tuohey (guitar) and James Kilmurray (guitar/vocals), the line-up for this album is once again completed by former drummer Jonathon Gibbs. And James Moffatt will be playing bass, replacing the recently departed long-time bassist David Elliott. Both are members of The Human Condition along with myself (Kieron). The band are presently a studio only band due to James's college activity."
So, doomsters, keep Unsilence's page under your radar for updates!
Moreover please note that recently Unsilence guys started their BANDCAMP page with streaming and paid downloads of the band's previous releases.
This is a great opportunity (a) to support this excellent bunch of musicians, (b) to get hold of the last album, Under a Torn Sky in case you missed it, an last but absolutely not least, (c) to get hold of the older releases by Unsilence which are true doom gems.
This band has a long story well worth being explored.
