Las Vegas-based doom bringers,
Demon LUNG, will unleash the
Forlorn fruits of their A Dracula full-length next month via Candlelight Records. Captured by Billy Anderson (
Neurosis,
Zoroaster,
Eyehategod,
Taurus, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth etc.), the record boasts
Eight dark,
Devious hymns centered loosely on Juan López Moctezuma's 1977 horror film, Alucardain which
Two teenage orphan girls living in a Catholic
Convent unleash a demonic force and ultimately become
Possessed by Satan.
"Alucarda is a more relatable story for me than our last album's [The
Hundredth Name] subject matter," vocalist Shanda Fredrick
Issues, "which made writing a lot more fun this time around. The heroine in this story is the daughter of
Satan, who happens to fall in love with the purest of souls in the
Convent she resides. She coaxes this soul over to the dark, with only intentions of love but in doing so she dooms her to death by the
Hands of the nuns. The
Anger consumes her and she uses her dark powers to resurrect her love and together they
Kill the
Convent and then the world."
As a precursor to its official unveiling, today Decibel Magazine offers up sixth movement, "Mark Of Jubilee" for public consumption at
THIS LOCATION.
A Dracula comes nearly
Two years to the date from the successful release of the band's critically-lauded, 2013-released The
Hundredth Name. Media applauded the band, especially Fredrick with Decibel Magazine gushing, "She emerges like a high empress, adding real soul to the quintet's lurch." Ghost Cult called the debut, "a modern doom
Masterpiece," Las Vegas Weekly concurred noting, "Everything about
Demon LUNG's debut screams epic," while New Noise Magazine gushed, "This record is mammoth. Bass riffs tuned low drag the listener into a dark,
Solemn swamp of evil. The atmosphere created is as important as each note plucked from Lucifer's hairy hind quarters." Added This Is Not A Scene accurately, "The future of doom seems to be in safe hands."
Demon LUNG is vocalist Shanda Fredrick, drummer
Jeremy Brenton, guitarists Phil Burns and Brent
Lynch and bassist
Jason Lamb. A Dracula will be released via Candlelight Records on
June 16th, 2015 with tour dates to be be announced shortly. In the meantime, preorders are available at
THIS LOCATION.
