Italian Gothic Doom Metal outfit HADAL is ready to announce that the new full-length December will be released on December, 5th via Planet K Records. The lyric video of the track Stormcrow is now available, courtesy of the 666MrDoom channel: https://bit.ly/2UNk4IB
December is available for pre-order as digisleeve CD on the label Bandcamp page (https://planetkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hadal-december).
HADAL was born at the end of 2009 in the depressive Italian town of Trieste. The aim was to merge atmospheric verses and dark metal riffs, creating a slow groove with melodic yet powerful guitars. In ten years of existence, the band released two promos and one full-length (“Painful Shadow” in 2017). December is a compendium of the band history, and a greeting to the first ten years of activity. The band rearranged some old tracks and composed new melodies, keeping in mind one vision: a deeper sounding matter. This is how HADAL conceives metal music: a melancholic and gloomy sound, always linked to the people’s inner tragedies. Despite their inclination for the cold winter season, the overall result is a warm one, with no interest in overproduction. In certain cases, vocal interpretations pay tribute to the Mediterranean lyrical tradition, even if the menacing growl is still there to give a balance to the final result.
December has been recorded, mixed, and mastered at Track Terminal Studio by Francesco Bardaro, while the artwork is by Elisa Medeot.
