| 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.

| Funeralium guitarist Berserk parts with the band | 6th Nov 2008 |
Berserk announced today that:
"With lots of regrets, i have to anounce my decision to leave the band Funeralium.
It often happened to me in the past to answer questions in interviews such as "Isn't it too much difficult to have so much bands at the same time ?". The answer is yes, it is difficult, ans some extra-musical evolutions of your own life can make it become even more difficult, to the point you don't get enough energy and time necessary for making your bands work well.
So, it happened that that moment i feared has finally become, that between my professional life, my personnal life and my bands (Ataraxie, Funeralium, Wormfood), being too 'spread' within all these projects made me unefficient and not enough implied in my bands. So, I had to make a choice. Because of the distance (rehearsals in Paris), and what in implies in terms of implication, time, i prefer to leave Funeralium before the problems will slow down the band, in a period it needs full implication of it's members for composing and recording a second album.
So i remain in very good terms with my ex-band members, and i remain immensly proud of what i've done through the years in Funeralium as a co-founding member, and also as an improvised producer/recording ingenieer on the 'Ultra Sick doom' demo or the 'Funeralium' album (i wanna thank Eric Martins Guerra for the drums and vocals takes on this album, aswell as the incredible Axel Wurnstorm for having spent so much time mixing it)
I wish the best for the future times to Marquis, Toxine, Asmael Lebouc, AD K'shon, to the guy that will replace me, and to Ys... which groove has brought such a special touch to our sound in the past..." |

| The Eternal update | 23rd Oct 2008 |
The long awaited new album 'Kartika' from The Eternal will be released in Australia - November 8, 2008; Finland - November 17, 2008; Europe and Russia - January 9, 2009. The album may be ordered soon through the band's website or Firebox Records.
"'Kartika' may be seen as the band's most ambitious album to date. With lush vocal harmonies and carefully detailed arrangements, 'Kartika' takes the listener through varied landscapes, from the emotive 'Brighter Day' and 'Walk Beside You' to the eastern influenced epic 'Blood'.
Catchy, melodic, dark and beautiful, The Eternal have not sat safely behind the sound created on their previous albums, and in turn have managed to push forward and break new ground."
To whet everyone's appetite, a video of 'Lost Our Way' from the new album 'Kartika' may be viewed on the band's website or YouTube.

Jex Thoth
'Jex Thoth' |
Jex Thoth used to be called Totem, but they release their debut album under the name of their lead singer Jex (Jessica Toth). Great move of I Hate to pick up this band, because they put a new face to old-school doom rock and metal, with a distinctly psychedelic touch. Not to mention that this is just a great debut...
