DEMON
LUNG Full-Length Debut To Be Released June 4
Candlelight
Records today confirms June 4th as the North American release date for The
Hundredth Name, the full-length debut from Las Vegas-based epic doom band
DEMON LUNG. The eight-song album was recorded with Adam Myatt and
Billy Anderson (Neurosis, The Melvins, Sleep) and features artwork by English
illustrator Tom Bates (Vision of Disorder, Amorphis).
The
Hundredth Name
is a conceptual album as previously confirmed by drummer Jeremy
Brenton. Its story line follows, �The long-begotten son of Satan, who�s
been sent to earth to assemble the three parts of the devil�s bible so that we
can speak the name of God in reverse and undo creation.� Songstress Shanda
Fredrick adds, �We have had the concept idea for the album for a few
years. We have just been waiting until we signed to a proper label to
finish writing it. Working with Billy was a dream come true for us. He
has been like a fifth member of the band, a mentor, and just an all-around
awesome friend. He helped us craft something that we are very proud
of."
Formed
in 2011, DEMON LUNG features guitarist Phil Burns and bassist Patrick
Warren, with Fredrick and Brenton. The band has a singular EP, Pareidolia (Bandcamp 2012), currently
available. The recording was favorably received by international
media. �Earthy-yet-horror-themed doom metal a-la Candlemass,� said Metal
Hammer. �Their hazy atmosphere and unorthodox way of playing guitar in a
doom metal band is an interesting approach that doom fans should immediately
check out,� noted Metal Archives. �Their music is clearly from the soul,�
added Ave Noctum. In their still short history, the band has performed
alongside Pentagram, High on Fire, Jucifer, Witch Mountain, and Castle, among
others.
