SUMMER DOOM UPDATE
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 at 1:30pm by Vince Neilstein
It may be 80 degrees and Sunny today, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about the gloomy darkness of Autumn and the doomy goodness that the 2009 season is going to bring; Swallow the Sun and Paradise Lost both have new records on the way.
Our favorite Finnish doom metallers, the epic, aching, melancholy Swallow the Sun, will release their fifth full-length record New Moon on November 10th via Spinefarm Records. Knobs on the recording are being twiddled by the gold-fingered Jens Bogren who mixed the latest God Forbid record as well as past releases by Opeth, Katanonia and more. No new tracks have been posted yet, but we eagerly await.
UK doom pioneers Paradise Lost will release their new record Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us on Century Media Records on October 6 [via SMNnews.com]. The band just posted the brand new track “As Horizons End” on their MySpace page and it sounds exactly as you’d hope — fucking great.
Not doom per se but since we’ve mentioned Katatonia they’re currently working on a new record too, expected to come out this fall. Sweet.

Can’t wait for the new Swallow the Sun. They’re an all-around great doom band. They definitely make some haunting music.
I’m fucking PSYCHED for the Katatonia release
I’m holding out for Trouble’s “The Dark Riff” due whenever.
Swallow The Sun – best doom band in the world right now. New Moon will crush. And I don’t mean the Twilight film.
new moon will be the 4th full-length album of swallow the sun. plague of butterflies is an EP. can’t wait for the new release.
