Endless Floods stream new album "Circle The Gold" in full today!
Straight from Bordeaux cellars, experimental doom unit ENDLESS FLOODS are premiering their third album "Circle The Gold" in full via Cvlt Nation. The band also announces the addition of guitarist Jérôme Alban (also Year Of No Light) to the lineup.
A realm of darkness awaits. France’s cathartic metal specialists ENDLESS FLOOD formed in 2015 in Bordeaux around Stephane Miollan (Monarch, Bombardement), Benjamin Sablon (Bombardement, Shock) and Simon Bédy. With “no boundaries in heaviness” as a motto, they raise a prodigiously thick wall of sound by blending drone and doom metal aesthetics with mind-expanding ambient structures. A sorrowful procession arising from the limbo...
Returning after their largely acclaimed second album "II" (2017), new album Circle The Gold” results from a year-long reassessment among the trio and symbolises a fresh start in their creative process. Over the span of 40 minutes and two songs, it sees the band evolve towards a more melodic aspect of their sound. Like the first ray of light shining through the gloom after a violent storm, both songs slowly move from impressively majestic chaos driven by cathartic screams and unfettered echoing solos, to almost-meditative and unadulterated moments of peace.
Cvlt Nation's Paul Castles states: "Endless Floods sustain a tone so disconcertingly heavy that you almost need to book yourself in for some fitness sessions with a personal trainer before attempting to face this release. (...) While most would shy away from these at times almost gossamer thin rhythms, those who find solace in such work will find their doom diet inexorably enhanced by Circle the Gold."
On recent news, ENDLESS FLOODS have invited Year Of No Light guitarist Jérôme Alban to join them for further recordings and live performances. "Circle The Gold" was recorded and mixed at Amanita studio in Anglet (FR) by Stephan Krieger, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (USA). It will be available on 12" vinyl and digital formats via Fvtvrecordings and Bigoût Records.
