Sweden's ISOLE have completed work on their new album, Silent Ruins, at their Studio Apocalypse. The album will see released dates in February/March through Napalm Records.

Says the label, "Isole makes use of clean vocals, slo-mo grooves, and melodies in the minor keys. Fans of CANDLEMASS, SOLITUDE AETERNUS, or early ANATHEMA and MY DYING BRIDE will not be disappointed."

Silent Ruins tracklisting: 'From The Dark', 'Forlorn', 'Nightfall', 'Hollow Shrine', 'Soulscarred', 'Peccatum', 'Dark Clouds'.

Napalm continues, "Silent Ruins continues to forge forth in the tradition of Isole's previous albums. The Swedes once again indulge in their heart-sickened and somber brand of doom metal that only finds solace in a perfectly placed portion of deadly black epic. Profound compositions, hypnotic arrangements, and heavy flowing riffs, that not unlike molten lava slowly yet inexorably pull the listener down into its depths, are the core elements comprising this album. Gustavo Sazes (FIREWIND, SERENITY) once again lends his artistic know-how to graphically convey a feeling of utter despair and isolation, while Peter In de Betou (AMON AMARTH, DRACONIAN, ARCH ENEMY) takes on the darkly work's mastering responsibilites. Rarely before have hopelessness and despair found such an elegant and becoming sound, making Silent Ruins a dark jewel that will not only appeal to the die-hard doom metal fan."
