SYRACH: New Song Posted Online

June 23, 2009

Norwegian doom metallers SYRACH have posted a new song, "Curse The Souls", on their MySpace page. The track comes off the band's sophomore album, "A Dark Burial", which will be released via Napalm Records on the following dates:

July 22 – Finland, Spain
July 24 - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, France, Italy, Sweden
July 27 - Rest of Europe
July 28 - USA, Canada

The CD was produced by Bjørnar Nilsen and features artwork (see below) by Martin Kvamme, who has previously worked with FANTOMAS, Mike Patton, DARKTHRONE and lots of other artists. "We really think [the cover art] fits the music and album title," the band says in a statement.

"A Dark Burial" track listing:

01. Curse The Souls
02. The River's Rage
03. A Dark Burial
04. A Mourners Kiss
05. In Darkness I Sigh
06. Ouroboros

SYRACH recently announced the addition of session guitarist Gjeddo (a.k.a. Gjermund; ENCHANTING DARKNESS) to the group's ranks.

Guitarist Reichborn (a.k.a. Noralf Venås) left SYRACH in February "due to lack of motivation."

SYRACH's debut album, "Days of Wrath", was produced by Herbrand Larsen from ENSLAVED and was released on November 2, 2007 in Europe and November 6, 2007 in North America via Napalm Records. The CD cover artwork is the painting "Christs" from MY DYING BRIDE vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe.

SYRACH was formed in 1993 in Kalandseidet, near Bergen, Norway — a region known to have spawned bands like IMMORTAL and BURZUM, to name a few.
