Bereft To Record New Album
Wisconsin blackened doom metal band Bereft (not the California band of the same name) is excited to announce studio plans in early May to begin recording material for a debut full-length release. This upcoming album is expected out later in the fall of 2016 via Prosthetic Records.
Consisting of Zach Johnson and Alex Linden on guitars/vocals and bassist Cade Gentry, Bereft will make the trek to Backroom Studios in Dover, NJ to begin tracking with producer Kevin Antreassian (Dillinger Escape Plan) on May 17th.
The trio have also enlisted drummer Michael Kadnar (Downfall of Gaia, Black Table) to lend a hand in the studio while the search continues for a full-time drummer.
Gentry commented, “We’re beyond excited to be working with Michael and Kevin and to finally get these songs recorded. This record will be heavier, louder, and bigger and we can’t wait for everyone to hear these songs.”
Bereft Signs With Prosthetic
Prosthetic Records is proud to announce the signing of Wisconsin-based atmospheric blackened/doom metal quartet Bereft (not to be confused with the California band of the same name that released "Leichenhaus" in 2012). The label comments:
"Influenced by personal views on religion, politics and social injustice, Bereft remains unbound to any genre as they create their own brand of powerful, dynamic metal which intertwines elements of doom with black and post-metal outlines.
"Founded by Zach Johnson and Alex Linden in 2011, the band is rounded out by Cade Gentry on bass and Patrick Hotlen on drums. Bereft released their first demo in 2013 and immediately set out playing shows throughout the Midwest. The following year, they recorded their debut EP, 'Lost Ages,' for War Crime/Silent Pendulum Recordings.
"Bereft has remained active over the past year by performing with bands including Agalloch, Gloom, Downfall of Gaia and North. Take a peek at the group live in the below live footage, filmed earlier this year at a hometown show in Madison, Wis. The band is currently hammering out new material for their forthcoming debut with Prosthetic, set for a tentative Spring 2016 release."
Vocalist/guitarist Linden commented, ”We’re super-excited to be working with such a prolific label. It’s a partnership that we feel will be perfect for Bereft moving forward, and we really appreciate the opportunity!” More...
