Miskatonic News May 2008 Articles / Labels' News Date: May 22, 2008 - 04:02 PM THE LAMP OF THOTH – "Portents, Omens & Doom" CD / LP The recording is now finished for this modern masterpiece of occult HM madness – with only the final mixing to go, taking their cue once again from such greats as HELL, CIRITH UNGOL and PENTAGRAM, The Lamp are the band that will finally bridge the gap between classic true metal and the Doom cults, sticking two fingers up at all the hippies and weepy Goths on their way to the black mass. Madder than a box of frogs frontman, The Overtly Melancholic Lord Strange is busier than ever with his plan of domination across all known dimensions, and all sub atomic levels. The album has 10 freshly recorded tracks, again recorded at the world famous Rosenquarz Studios under the watchful one good eye of Andreas "Blind Pugh" Libera and Michael "Citreon" Hahn – We Love the Lamp!! Check out the advance rough mix track at http://www.myspace.com/isentorr THE RIVER – "In Situ" CD Finally The River have recorded what they have been threatening to do, an album that will no doubt polarise opinion but for every fan of ultra heavy true doom tuned so low that the bass frequencies cause your skeletal frame to begin to disintegrate, wait no more. Truly a masterpiece in every respect, beautiful, heart wrenching and as far away removed from all the pretentious pseudo 70's bullshit with female vocals in flares and hammond organs as we could wish for. This is the sound of tectonic plates drifting over millions of years and the death song of dying stars over the howling of solar winds. The recordings were yet again made at Rosenquarz with the Libera/Hahn team "Working" harder than ever – check out the rough mix of one track at http://www.myspace.com/isentorr Also in the works DREAM DEATH – "Back From The Dead" Double LP COLD MOURNING – Demo's Double LP ORODRUIN – "In Doom" 10" EP ARGUS – "Sleeping Dogs" 10" EP SCARAB – "Poltergeist II" 10" EP THE LAMP OF THOTH – "Sing As You Slay" 10" EP SCARAB – TBA Announced Full CD This article comes from Holy Sword http://www.truemetal.org/holysword/ The URL for this story is: http://www.truemetal.org/holysword/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=275
