RAMESSES: New Album Due In March

October 18, 2010

Dorset, England's pummeling doom trio RAMESSES has had an ultra-busy year and has a lot planned for the coming months.

RAMESSES recently completed its latest wave of European live dates, selling out most of the concerts on their ten-show tour through France and Spain. At press time the band is gearing up for a three-day attack on British soil with support from Norway's OBLITERATION. The trek includes stops in Newcastle and Birmingham and ends in London at the Fenriz-curated Live Evil festival this Saturday, where RAMESSES will appear alongside ANGEL WITCH, VOLCANO and HOODED MENACE, among others. These will probably be the last shows the band will play for 2010.

RAMESSES U.K. tour dates with OBLITERATION:

Oct. 21 - Trillians - Newcastle, UK
Oct. 22 - The Asylum - Birmingham, UK
Oct. 23 - The Underworld - London, UK @ Live Evil Fest

In other news, Jake and Dinos Chapman — the artists who crafted the controversial "Fucking Hell" art masterpiece used for RAMESSES' "Take The Curse" cover art — offered to make a video for the track "Baptism of the Walking Dead" from the album.

While RAMESSES has been working hard all year in support of its latest full-length, "Take The Curse", released in June of 2010 on Ritual Productions, the band has already already captured ten new tracks for its third full-length opus. Tentatively set for a March 2011 release, "Possessed by the Rise of Magik" will once again be made available via Ritual Productions and will include such cuts as "Safety in Numbness", "Towers of Silence" and an epic 15-minute title track.

Prior to the release of "Possessed by the Rise of Magik", RAMESSES will release a two-song 12-inch EP entitled "Chrome Pineal/Blazoned Fauna". "Chrome Pineal" is a ten-minute 1960s style exploration recorded during the "Take the Curse" sessions, and "Blazoned Fauna" is another brand new track from the "Possessed by the Rise of Magik" recording sessions.

RAMESSES was spawned in the woodland of Dorset, England. They have been disfiguring the innards of their army of devoted listeners since 2003 when drummer Mark Greening and guitarist Tim Bagshaw hooked up with Adam Richardson (bass and vocals).
