Dool - Here Now, There Then

Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

"Here Now, There Then" is the debut album from Holland's most notorious rock musicians DOOL. The band, consisting of Micha Haring (THE DEVILS BLOOD, THE HANDS) on drums, Job van de Zande (THE DEVILS BLOOD, MALKOVICH) on bass, Reinier Vermeulen (THE NEW MEDIA, LIAR OF GOLGOTHA) on guitar and Nick Polak (GOLD) on guitar and the striking singer Ryanne van Dorst (ELLE BANDITA).

"Here Now, There Then" is influenced by bands like BLUE OYSTER CULT, SISTERS OF MERCY and of course THE DEVILS BLOOD, it's not as occult THE DEVILS BLOOD, but the atmosphere is there, it's very dynamic where they alternating shreds of the darkness, gothic and classic rock with bits of psychedelia.

"Here Now, There Then" is a very mystic and hypnotizing album and it's full of headbanging guitar and bass riffs and effective hooks that will thrill any THE DEVILS BLOOD fans around this globe with tunes such as "Words On Paper", "Oweynagat" and "She-Goat". A more softer and progressive approach in "The Alpha" and "The Death Of Love" or the sinister and epic 10 minutes opening tune "Vantablack". "Golden Serpents" is one of the highlights, an powerful and great crafted tune with an amazing balance. DOOL bends their musical education to their own creation, searching for a true identity.

"Here Now, There Then" is about dreaming, ambition and will", says Ryanne van Dorst. "The album is about breaking boundaries and behavioral patterns while destroying stigmas. It is a mantra for whoever needs it and in any way one chooses to use it. It is the shadow lands between fantasy and reality. A fairy tale in a concrete background".

The album was released on February 17, 2017. Recorded by producer Pieter Kloos (THE DEVILS BLOOD, MOTORPSYCHO).

Sum: "Here Now, There Then", the sound of DOOL is a call to let oneself float freely and weather the storms of everyday life, taking flight into the wild unknown …all those who wander are DOOL.

The Devil’s Blood - Cruel Lover

This weeks Record of the Week is the second full-length studio album The Thousandfold Epicentre by Dutch occult-themed psychedelic rock band The Devil's Blood.

The band formed in Eindhoven, Netherlands 2006 by lead guitarist, lyricist and principle songwriter Selim "SL" Lemouchi. SL's sister, Farida Lemouchi "F. The Mouth of Satan", was asked to join the group after providing vocals for the track “The Graveyard Shuffle”. Their style is rock n' roll flavoured hard rock in the vein of Roky Erickson, Black Widow, Coven, Black Sabbath and a rich plethora of 1960s and 70s undergound psychedelic rock. The group's name is taken after the song "Devil's Blood" by Watain.

Group founder and guitarist SL is heavily influenced by his spiritual beliefs, namely Satanism. In several interviews SL has stated his primary influence in songwriting (and in life) are "the three principalities of Adversity - The Death, The Chaos, and The Satan", stating "That (Satan) is the driving force behind all my creative power". SL has also cited Slash of Guns N' Roses as being influential in his work as a guitarist.

This weeks album was composed over a period of eleven months from January 2010 to November 2010 before it was recorded over a period of two months at Void Studios with longtime producer, engineer, and mixer Pieter Kloos. Several songs were ultimately shortened by a few minutes so that the album length would not exceed the length of a CD. The album is psychedelic visions of spinning flowers and gives you a nice occult journey thru your mind and drifts away on this musical acid trip. All this well wrapped in 1960s - 70s style of undergound rock.

The album was released in Europe on November 11, 2011 through VÁN Records. The album has been released by both labels in CD, LP, and digital download formats. A limited edition version of the album, which includes a 36 page art book, has also been made available through VÁN Records.
