Renowned Polish multi-talented metal musician Paul Jaroszewicz  (Vader,  Decapitated,  Hate,  Antigama, Obscure Sphinx) alongside experienced musicians on the Polish metal scene: Adrian Meissner, Rafał Tarlachan, Błażej Kasprzak and Jakub Śliwowski will inaugurate their newest project – SHADOHM.

Prepare yourselves for the latest offering of pure, unadulterated darkness of black metal, energy of groove metal, climate and heavy melodies of doom metal and absurdly low-tuned notes.

“Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment” is a modern combination of styles such bands as Architects, Lorna Shore, Meshuggah, Gojira and Katatonia shocking to the listener from start to finish. 

Five tracks of melodic trance with amazing vocals that will take you to another dimension of modern metal. The band is a conglamerate of experienced professionals focused on one common goal – bringing our vision to the masses.

Music for debut album was recorded:

  • drums at Santa Studio by Mikołaj Kiciak, Filip Hałucha, Sebastian Has;
  • guitars & bass at Heinrich House Studio by Filip Hałucha;
  • vocals at Santa Studio by Sebastian Has.

All was mixed and mastered by Sebastian Has at Santa Studio (Behemoth, Obscure Sphinx). Cover art was done by vocalist Adrian Meissner & Michal “Xaay” Loranc (God Dethroned, Kamelot, Nile). Band photo by Aleksandra „Kosa” Majak.

Pavulon comments: “Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment is a commentary on how I perceive the surrounding reality and is inspired by everything that I encountered throughout the years. It is a form of releasing the pressure and frustration growing within for many years, a form of catharsis, a sort of therapy – coming to terms with my demons and finding the strength to pursue my goals against all odds.“

Debut album will be released March 8, 2023 digitally and on CD by Polish well known label Selfmadegod Records. Pre-order will be launched at the beginning of February in label’s webstore.

Tracklist:

5. Towards Enlightenment

Line-up:

Adrian “Klama” Meissner (Batushka, It Follows) – vocal
Paweł “Pavulon” Jaroszewicz (Batushka, Antigama) – drums
Rafał “Tarlachan” Łyszczarz (Batushka, Hore) – guitars, vocal
Błażej Kasprzak (Batushka) – bass
Jakub “Szatan” Śliwowski (Batushka, Hore) – guitars

One of the distinguishing features of Shadohm is undeniably our custom guitars, built to order by our friend Kriz Ramirez from Mexico, at his company – K. Ramirez Guitars. Due to our preference for tuning low (even very low), we knew that Kriz would be the right person to make them, considering his years of experience as a luthier and as a musician.

We opted for a shape that is a variation of the Iceman model produced by Ibanez. All three guitars are 9-string “Spitfire” models, equipped with custom-made Fishman Fluence pickups. The bridge was built from scratch specifically for us by Kriz’s team based on the Hipshot bridge because they don’t manufacture bridges for nine-string multiscale guitars as a standard. The scale is 30” for the lowest string and 28” for the highest, making them an ideal combination for comfort (it makes catching various peculiar chords a bit easier) and also allowing all tones, even the lowest ones, to resonate without detuning. We chose this setup because we tune down to F# on the thickest string (an octave lower than the classical F# on an eight-string guitar), and the conventional solutions available on the market were insufficient.

As for the wood selection, following Kriz’s advice, we settled on flamed maple, while the fretboard itself is made of exotic Granadillo wood, which performs excellently in low tunings.

We aimed for an original look. All three guitars are in a beige shade, we swapped the classic potentiometers for knobs, and the logo on the 12th fret and the lumin laye shimmer in blue under UV light – associations with Dune are entirely accurate. You can see the details in the photos, and already in March, during the upcoming “Black Pasha” tour, you will be able to hear and see live how these instruments present themselves in all their splendor.

FALL OF SERENITY Reveal Third Single + Video ‘Darkness, I Command’ from Forthcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 26, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: FALL OF SERENITY. Leave a comment

Darkness, I Command, is the third pre-album single from FALL OF SERENITY’s upcoming new album Open Wide, O Hell, which is set to be released on March 22nd!

The single is accompanied by a brand new video clip directed and produced by Willi Schaup from Drei Visionen.

Good things come to those who wait. FALL OF SERENITY are back with a new album ten years after their reunion. Their split lasted from 2009 to 2012. For the last five-four, the quintet has been preparing the release of “Open Wide, O Hell”. Were the musicians inspired by their former bassist Linus Klausenitzer (ALKALOID, OBSIDIOUS, OBSCURA/FALL OF SERENITY 2008-2009), who released his solo debut “Tulpa” in the fall of 2023? Maybe!

“Open Wide, O Hell” is also variably written and comes up with a good dose of surprises. The basis of the album still lies in melodic death metal, which is associated with the East German band founded in 1998. But a black metal impact is also to be attributed to the new song material and changes the musical face decisively. Besides, impressive melodies continue to lead FALL OF SERENITY through their songs. Quite a few of the tracks are true headbangers.

This has been the case since the times of the unforgotten, legendary split with HEAVEN SHALL BURN from 1999. The band around frontman John Gahlert enjoys cult status in the European melo-death underground.

With the new record, the musicians continue where they left off in 2009. “Open Wide, O Hell” – after “Bloodred Salvation” (2006) and “The Crossfire” (2007) the third album of the group for LIFEFORCE RECORDS – convinces with raw aggression and threatening darkness. FALL OF SERENITY succeeds not only to meet expectations surrounding their comeback, but to exceed them!

ALBUM TRACK LIST:
Thy Pathway
Darkness, I Command
I Don’t Expect I Shall Return
Wastelands
I
Chaos Reign
A Winter Song
To Tear the Flesh
… But Grim Will Follow
II
I Am the End
