Italy’s Kolony Records has just added Oakland, California-based progressive doom metal sextet SECRETS OF THE SKY to the label’s ever-expanding roster.

The debut album, To Sail Black Waters, was recorded over an eight month period with engineer/producer Juan Urteaga (TESTAMENT, MACHINE HEAD, CATTLE DECAPITATION) at Trident Studios, the massive album boasting Secrets Of The Sky’s entirely modern and unique back-bending of elements from a multitude of genres. With up to three guitar tracks, two and three keyboards at a time and a multitude of vocal styles — clean and epic lines against hollow and blackened battle cries and crushing, low-end growls — the band creates huge buildups and epic movements as expansive as the cosmos.

To Sail Black Waters caught the attention of Kolony Records, who have inked a deal with Secrets Of The Sky, and are planning for a proper, official worldwide CD and digital release of the album late this Summer, the street date to be announced in the coming days.

Secrets Of The Sky will share the stage with KEN Mode and TORCHE at a hometown show at the Oakland Metro Operahouse this Tuesday, May 21st. Stay tuned for much more over the coming months.
