OFFICIUM TRISTE Working On New Album
March 8, 2011, 13 years ago
Dutch doom metallers OFFICIUM TRISTE have issued the following update:
“So, it’s been exactly a year since we lasted posted any news on this website. This doesn’t mean we haven’t done anything. We had to break in our new drummer Niels, we’ve done quite a few shows in 2010 and we have been working on our new album. We have finished writing this album and recordings will start in April in the studio of our keyboard-player Martin in Germany. We have written six songs with an additional intermezzo and an acoustic track. Some of the song titles are: ‘To The Gallows’, ‘Burning All Boats And Bridges’, ‘Your Fall From Grace’, ‘The Wounded And The Dying’, ‘Your Heaven Is My Underworld’ and ‘One With The Sea (Part 2)’. These might change though. The title for the new album will most probably be Mors Viri.We have fulfilled our contractual obligations with Displeased Records, so we are currently unsigned. We will record the album and shop it around when it is done and we’re positive one or even more labels will be interested. Of course interested labels can get in touch right away as well.
Next to that we can already mention that we came to an agreement with Spanish label Memento Mori to record some exclusive tracks for a split album with our German friends OPHIS. This one should see the light of day in the fall of 2011.
Next to the recordings we have some great gigs lined up for you, so you can catch us on stage again in 2011. In additional news we can mention that Ed Warby has started recording the second full-length of THE 11TH HOUR. As you might know Bram and Pim are part of the live band and can be seen live on stage with The 11th Hour on a couple occasions.
Pim was also asked by AJ of BEYOND BELIEF and Seth of SEVERE TORTURE to provide vocals to their new project called EXTREME COLD WINTER, so keep an eye out for that one too!”
