WINDHAND Signs To
Relapse Records For Forthcoming Album

Relapse Records this
week officially welcomes Richmond, Virginia�s masters of ethereal doom metal, WINDHAND, to the label�s roster, having
signed the quintet for the release of their forthcoming
LP.

Stated the members of
WINDHAND in response to their
joining forces with the Relapse horde, "We're
all so honored to be in the company of so many amazing artists. To know that our
next record will be alongside some of the albums that inspired us to play music
is pretty incredible.�

WINDHAND
has
begun laying down tracks for the to-be-named upcoming LP in their home studio,
The Darkroom, where the outfit will record and mix the entire album, and deliver
it to Relapse for a Fall 2013 release date. More details will be made available
as the album nears release.

Having formed in 2008
in the fertile Richmond, Virginia musical underground, WINDHAND�s incredible, organic style of
low-end doom and trancelike occult/ethereal vocals helped the band catch
immediate attention well beyond the region, drawing comparisons to everything
from Electric Wizard and Pallbearer to The Devil�s Blood and Blood Ceremony.
Continuous live shows and US tours have seen them share the stage with notable
acts including Pallbearer,
Tragedy, Balaclava, Iron Tongue, Bastard Sapling, Pilgrim, Elder, Pentagram,
Sourvein, The Gates of Slumber, Graveyard, Thrones, Mares of Thrace, Coffinworm,
Across Tundras, Primitive Weapons among countless
others.

In
the meantime, Reflection Of The
Negative, a split
album with WINDHAND and local scene
brethren and now labelmates COUGH,
will see release via Relapse in mid-April. COUGH
leads off, delivering a characteristically electrifying down-tuned epic track,
while their brethren in WINDHAND
serve up two brand new epic songs for their half of the dirge, in the end
bearing nearly forty minutes music from two
prime acts in the contemporary doom/sludge circuit. An album trailer and
preorders for the split LP are available here.
