The recording phase for the new EP of Slovak
dark/doom metal band GALADRIEL was finished a few days ago. The EP is
commemorating the band’s 20th anniversary and the works were overseen by George
Bokos (MELECHESH, GEORGE KOLLIAS) at Grindhouse Studios Athens who will be also
responsible for the mixing and mastering.
The EP which is going to be named
“Lost in the Ryhope Wood“, because the six songs – three new, three re-recorded
– are all dealing with the topics of Ryhope Wood – Mythago Woods and the
mysterious place of Lavondyss, all created by writer Robert Holdstock. The
names of the songs are: Song Of A Daughter, Dual Hertitage, She – The Myth,
Forest Lullaby, Strong One Against The Storm, Lavondyss.
The artwork of the EP will be, of course,
reflecting the topic as well and will be once again in the hands of the band’s
bassist/vocalist Dodo Datel. The central people behind the content of the
artwork are Slovak model Ewel and photographer Hellmet.
The record will also include several guest
appearances. The string duet consists of violinist Jana Venecková (VENEBAND)
and contrabassist Charis Pazaroulas (STONE COLD DEAD). The drum duties will be for the third time in a row
carried out by Jano Ivan (CAD), who substituted Matej Ferianc due to time schedule issues. Vocal of
George Bokos (STONE COLD DEAD, ex-ROTTING CHRIST, ex-NIGHTFALL) will be heard
in one of the songs and there will be one more guest whose name will stay a
secret at the moment.
The“Lost in the Ryhope Wood” EP will be
released on vinyl at the beginning of September by Parat Magazine and
Production. Have your eyes and ears opened!
