| As you can see, we've implemented a new design for the main doom-metal.com website. The bandlist, news, tourdates and reviews are now fully integrated, so you can easily navigate the website. The bandlist has been updated so that it will show you reviews and current tourdates on the page for each band, so all information is in one place. From this point on, we will also start bringing back a couple of features from the old website. That means interviews, staff info, etc. We are also working on bringing back the extremely popular doom-metal.com radio station, so stay tuned!
We thank you for your support, if you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to comments@doom-metal[dot]com.

| Shroud of Bereavement News | 8th Jul 2008 |
Shroud of Bereavement has finally seen the new music come to fruition, and have a good 25 minutes of finished pre-production demos ready, and have begun work on recording the first track to the new album. Shroud of Bereavement has also been working on the shell of another 3 or 4 songs that should fill out to a full album's worth of music, again, going slow, but much growth within the compositions. The music seems to have more angst and more emotion overall with heavier guitars. They are looking to finish in the studio by the fall of 2008 and have the album soon thereafter.
Also, SoB finally has a new drummer and second guitarist that are committed and ready to go for long run. The new drummer Aaron Chase, from Maine, is expected to be in the studio on the next song and playing live in all his fury. The band truly looks forward to playing live again.
The new guitarist Ari Goldberger, a graduate of Berkely and ex member of such bands as Requia, Recently Vacated Graves, and Summoning Hate has been amazing thus far, showing the most promise that the band has seen at this position. His ability to learn is quite impressive to say the least.
The new album 'A Beautiful Winter' is on the way.
A new website and updated MySpace page are also in the works.

| Album of the Month |
Evoken
'A Caress of the Void' |
Another wait is over: here is Evoken's fourth full length album. As ever, expectations were, at least for me, quite high, because albums like 'Quietus' and 'Antithesis of Light' have set a new standard in the world of funeral doom and death/doom. However, 'A Caress of the Void' has proven to be a tough nut to crack for me...
