It is great to have the opportunity of announcing that some new, cool tunes are about to come from a Ukrainan band that Doommantia appreciated a lot and supported in their debut effort (read HERE and HERE).
I am speaking about mighty Ethereal Riffian. We all, and many of you too, enjoyed Shamans Visions, the stunning debut album that these psychedelic doomsters from Kiel released back in 2011. The band involves four talented musicians among whom you surely remember Stonezilla, fine graphic artist, music connaisseur and blogger of Sludgeswamp and Robust Fellow fame. Much happened after the successful release of album Shamans Visions. For example, Stonezilla and his mates have been working hard for establishing the pillars of the cool stoner-sludge-doom metal Robust Festival which has by now become one of the most stimulating festivals in Europe. Moreover, during 2012 the dudes in Ethereal Riffians started a collaboration with guys from other cool bands, like Wounded, Bluesbreaker and Stoned Jesus. Wolverine Blues is the name of this juicy psych bluesy alliance, and Convict is the title of the debut album (mixed and mastered by none less than Billy Anderson) which was released during 2013 and which I urge you to check out, e.g., via Bandcamp .
Now the Ethereal Riffian bunch is almost ready for unleashing a new surge of their charming and original music made of dreamy and often sophisticated atmospheres smartly blended with solid and infectious doom/stoner metal.
The new video produced for promoting the second new album, called "Aeonian", again shows how smart these guys are. They know how to write cool music as well as how to work with visual arts for creating intriguing atmospheres with simple things. Look at the video below and you’ll get immediately captured by the Ethereal Riffian’s spell.
You won’t have to wait too long, though, for getting the full dose.
Album Aeonian will be out soon according to the following scheme:
- via Nasoni Records - January/February 2014 (for Vinyl)
- via Mulligore Production - January 2014 (for CDs)
- via Tartarus Records - February/March 2014 (for Tapes)
Limited edition CDs and "Aeonian" books (yep, there will also be a book!) will be available directly through the band.
You better keep the band’s pages under your radar.
