New CD from Tales of Dark22nd Jun 2009
'Perdition Calls', the new CD from Tales of Dark is out now through Solitude Prod.

Press Release:
The second album of this Serbian band, who gathered attention with their debut album 'Fragile Monuments' in 2006 entitled 'Perdition Calls' is out now. They haven’t lost their trademark sound of doom death with beautiful melodies including a great mixture of male growling vocals and a clean female voice. 'Perdition Calls' – another brilliant one on the field of gothic doom metal - worth the attention of all lovers of My Dying Bride and Draconian.

The band's official website is under construction at the moment, but you can listen to some of the new music at their MySpace page. Follow the links below for more information.

New CD from My Lament22nd Jun 2009
Solitude Prod./BadMoodMan is pleased to announce the release of My Lament's new CD 'Broken Leaf'. It is out now.

Press Release:
Revelation from this Belgian band with their debut album 'Broken Leaf'! The first album of My Lament consists of eight powerful, perfectly recorded songs, which have a balance between the cruelty of Ataraxie and melodic lines of Officium Triste and Saturnus. Brilliant playing skills of the musicians with great sound separate My Lament from a lot of modern bands in this style, and puts their music on same line with the famous bands of the doom death metal scene!

Frailty Releases New EP22nd Jun 2009
After the successful release of the debut CD 'Lost Lifeless Lights', Frailty has finished the deals with the past by releasing a new EP. In order not to bury the songs from the early days in the cemetery of history and oblivion the band captured them in the studio in the autumn last year.

With the help and knowledge of master Gints Lundbergs the songs sound very much like the passed time - as if from a grave, without losing the heaviness or the mournfulness. Dismal roots - words that describe the early musical period of the band, death/doom metal which is to be heard in the content of this new EP.

The EP is out now and the track list is as follows:

1. 'Silent Winter'
2. 'Black Phoenix'
3. 'Scarlet Prophecy'
4. 'The Shining'
5. 'A Flower In The Dark Tide'

Right now the band is working on new material which includes some different variations apart from the usual doom sound. The band has made progress in the sense of sound and concept by experimenting and widening the borders of the genre, adding non-traditional elements and instruments.

For more information, visit the band's MySpace page.

Second Mourning Dawn album has been released!26th May 2009
After many delays Totalrust Music is very happy to announce that the long wait is over! The 2nd Mourning Dawn is out, available and ready to kick some asses!

Mourning Dawn: 'For The Fallen'
Two years after the band's self titled album, Mourning Dawn is back with eight new pieces of despair and not less then 70 minutes of their unique painful Black/Dark Metal. The production is freezing, the material is slower then ever and together with the guest vocals of Jonathan Thery (Ataraxie, Hyadningar, Bethlehem, Funeralium), 'For The Fallen' is definitely the sickest effort of this suicidal French band so far.
Recommended for fans of Weakling, Shining, Deinonychus, Forgotten Tomb, old-Katatonia & Bethlehem...

MurkRat
'MurkRat'

... Haunted and esoteric, the Doom of Murkrat develops, along the eight tracks that make up the album, a great emotional power. The deep, lyrical and restrained voice of Mandy VKS Cattleprod emerges from the depths of a rather raw production, grainy and unclear; the slight echo effect which distends it and amplifies its shamanic authority, its hypnotic power. ...
