Undersmile - New Album Cover And Release Date Revealed
Three years after they released Narwhal, the Oxford based sludge/doom metal outfit Undersmile return with their new record. It will be entitled Anhedonia and the front cover artwork, photography by Pier Corona and the layout/type by Jack Burley, has been unveiled. You can feast your eyes on it right now. You can expect the new album to be released on the 1st of April via Black Bow Records.
The label comments: "Composed of seven tracks, and clocking in at over 70 minutes, Anhedonia is the spiritual successor to 2012's Narwhal, and an elegant synthesis of the band's entire back-catalogue. But where Undersmile once relished distortion and discord, Anhedonia finds the band experimenting with a wider sonic palette and dynamic range, utilising clean guitars and cellos as much as Skyhammer Studio's collection of vintage amps and fuzz boxes."
Are you excited?

Written by Hex_Omega on 19.02.2015 at 23:05 It's drone doom man, I don't really know what else you'd be expecting  The only thing I can really say I think would be a cool improvement upon the band's sound would be if they took some of those short ambient tracks from Narwhal and started weaving such techniques into the longer tracks, for some cool, atmospheric doom results. And yes, solos would be pretty cool, but only if they were of that really slow, minimalistic, psychedelic type of approach. I don't think anything too fast or widdly diddly would really suit the style the band seems to be going for.
