If there was one European rock band that raised more than a few eyebrows in the last two years, it is DOOL. The Dutch found their debut album "Here Now, There Then" in many "best of 2017" lists and reader polls, got it as Record Of The Week on July 2017, read it here! They have constantly touring the continent, playing every festival from Roadburn to Wacken, House Of The Holy to Graspop.
The "Love Like Blood" EP will shorten the wait for their second album with a cover of the eponymous KILLING JOKE classic and as well as live versions of "She Goat" and "In Her Darkest Hour" from Rock Hard Festival capturing DOOL's unbridled live power.
Singer/guitarist Ryanne van Dorst comments on the choice of the EP's lead track: "Apart from being a massive hit during our childhood years that was weaved into the very structure of our musical beings, "Love Like Blood" remains a gem to revisit over and over. And so we did on our first tour as a band, listening to it in the van, and started wondering what it would sound like without its signature staccato beat. Back home, we took the plunge and dived deep into its dreamy waters. After a few rehearsals, we started playing our version live and grew to it the more often we did. By now, it almost doesn't feel like a cover song anymore, so we decided to record and share it with you. Here's our tribute to one of the best songs ever written."
Featuring members of critically-acclaimed dark rock band THE DEVILS BLOOD and death rock group GOLD, DOOL is an explosive, unbridled force. The Dutch band radiates an undeniable raw energy that blends classic hard rock, gothic pop and psychedelic metal to create their own dynamic sound. Audibly influenced by bands such as SISTERS OF MERCY and SONIC YOUTH, DOOL bends these sounds to fit its own vision, giving birth to an ominous new entity. Led by striking singer Ryanne van Dorst (ELLE BANDITA) alongside guitarists Nick Polak (GOLD) and Reinier Vermeulen (THE NEW MEDIA), bassist Job van de Zande (THE DEVILS BLOOD, MALKOVICH) and drummer Micha Haring (THE DEVILS BLOOD, THE HANDS), DOOL has become a hotly-tipped underground buzz band on the strength of its captivating debut single, "Oweynagat" and a red hot live performance at this year’s Roadburn Festival, where the group exceeded expectations as the respected fest’s 2016 'Roadburn Introduces…' artist.
"Love Like Blood" was released May 17, 2019.
