NARCOTIC DEATH: Album Details Revealed
December 5, 2009U.K. female-fronted progressive doom/death metal band NARCOTIC DEATH, whose lineup includes MY DYING BRIDE touring keyboardist/violinist Shaun MacGowan on rhythm guitar, has parted ways with drummer Dan Johnson (NAACHT). Singer Alexandra Cook states, "[Dan's] short period with us were some of the best and productive months we have ever had, and illustrated to me personally the extent of our potential, and just how much NARCOTIC DEATH has changed and developed over time. You may disagree, but as hardly any of you were ever there to see it, you cannot possibly judge. I, and the rest of the band, offer Dan our sincerest thanks, and cannot help but notice the enormous void he has left behind with his departure; a void someone out there inevitably will have to fill. No small task, in all honesty, but hardly impossible.
"Our [full-length debut], 'Anthology Of The Damned', is still in production, but that is due to matters outside of our control; namely the studio losing many of the tracks we paid to record and have arranged appropriately. This predicament has made Shaun's job of mixing and mastering even harder, therefore for all you may complain, there is justification for the delay, and what Shaun has done so far sounds phenomenal, so you will just have to be patient for that little bit longer."
Added Shaun: "The album has seen several delays. I do feel I must apologise on some level for this. We recorded the album in April/May. To be honest, I don't have a clue it's that long ago. So many things have happened to us, and me, since then its unbelievable. The then-writing core of the band leaving, the honour of joining MY DYING BRIDE for the year's shows and single (still on the 30 year probation!),work and doing my final year at university have all had a knock-on effect. But rest assured, the album is nearly finished, the artwork is ready to go and the new new material is proving to be a breath of fresh air."
