MAR DE GRISES To Release New Album In April

March 5, 2008

Chilean progressive/doom metallers MAR DE GRISES will release their new album, "Draining the Waterheart", on April 14 via Firebox Records. Two separate versions of the LP will be made available: the regular album and a limited-edition digipack (A5 format) that will include a bonus mini-CD, entitled "Unconscios Passenger". The artwork was designed by Tuomo Lethonen (SWALLOW THE SUN, GRAVE FLOWERS).

According to the band, the CD contains "more than 60 minutes of an intense and unique kind of music.

"We took quite a long time to compose and record it, but we are pleased with the result. As always, our musical limits at the time of composing it were still very few.

"The songs have varied structures and musical arrangements; the guitars are very varied in terms of melody. We tried a lot of new things, and in general, this album seems to be a bit more aggressive and technical.

"About the title of the album and songs, they represent, in some way, an act of liberation of our most deep feelings. The endless contradictions of a thinking being yet emotional, illusions, disillusions, and our most bitter feelings conjugate, inspiring us in this new sonorous story.

01. Sleep Just One Dawn
02. Kilómetros De Nada
03. Deep-Seeded Hope Avant-Garde
04. Fantasía
