Germany's OPHIS Sign With Cyclone Empire; New Album Title Revealed
March 11, 2014, 10 years ago
Cyclone Empire has announced the signing of the mighty OPHIS.
Says the label: "Hailing from Hamburg, Ophis are one of the finest, most extreme and most promising doom bands in Germany and abroad. We are very happy to welcome this cult band and their dark, heavy, brute, grim, yet beautiful (funeral) doom/death from the bowels of rotting dinosaurs (like the band would call it J) in our little Cyclone Empire family!"
Last year, Ophis released the double CD re-release compilation package Effigies Of Desolation via Cyclone Empire. Their next full length will be recorded while you read this and a release date is planned for late summer/early fall 2014.
The band comments: "“After we already worked with Cyclone Empire with our latest release, the Effigies of Desolation compilation, we decided to stick to this label. We had offers from several other companies, and pretty good ones, too. We were also satisfied with the label we had before. So you see: they did something very right!!
We are as happy as a doom band can be to release our upcoming album, Abhorrence In Opulence on Cyclone Empire, because they have the modus operandi of big, professional companies, and at the same time the ethics of devoted underground labels. And that’s exactly what we need. Cheers on a great cooperation!”
Ophis lineup:
Phil - guitar, vocals
Martin - guitar
Olly - bass
Nils - drums
