Extreme sludge doom metal trio Salome have completed work on their highly anticipated new album that has been christened Terminal. The album will hit the streets on November 9th through Profound Lore Records. An MP3 of the track "Master Failure" can be heard here.

Known as one of the most prominent bands within sludge/doom metal circles today, Salome have build up quite a reputation within said scene over the years since their eponymous 2008 debut, and with the split LP they did last year with their peers Thou. Most notably, it has been through Salome's intense and brutal live shows where the trio comprised of vocalist Kat (Agoraphobic Nosebleed), drummer Aaron Deal (Nitro Tokyo), and guitarist Rob Moore, have been building their reputation as one of doom metal's most devastating bands today.

With a presence unlike any other band in doom metal, Salome's brand of crawling time-stretching amplifier abusing doom builds the fine line between a stripped down, claustrophobic, tight introverted torturous audial assault and an expansive cinematic earth crumbling soundscape of pure devastation. This of course all conjured by the use of Kat's inhuman brutal vocal assault (a female vocalist who is easily considered as one of the most intense vocalists and performers in extreme metal today), Aaron Deal's thunderous and ritualistic methodical drum pounding and noise manipulating, and Rob Moore's brutally glacial guitar grooves and crawling chord progressions.

In what will easily come across as Salome's most accomplished and epic work to date, Terminal is an intense 70-plus minute sonic jaunt of punishing sludge doom metal reverence.
