EYE OF SOLITUDE Premiere New Material With New Noise Magazine

EYE OF SOLITUDE Premiere New Material With New Noise Magazine

UK orchestral Funeral Doom merchants EYE OF SOLITUDE and New Noise Magazine are giving fans their first taste of material from the band's forthcoming album, Canto III.

For the premiere, EYE OF SOLITUDE has taken album track "Where the Descent Began," which clocks in at over 10 minutes on the album, and condensed it down to a four-minute sampling of the band's massive and emotive brand of doom.

Experience it now at this location.

Cantos III will be out on November 25 through Kaotoxin Records. Pre-order the album at:

shop.kaotoxin.com (physical)
listen.kaotoxin.com (digital)

Cantos III is lyrically based on Dante's Inferno and features of over 66 minutes of the most intense and heavy, yet diverse material EYE OF SOLITUDE has ever released Adding to their trademark orchestral layers, superb despaired melodies and dark ambient plains of desolation, bursts of rage sometimes ranging from Death Metal blastbeats to Black Metal-ish grim aggression. All of this is topped by the inhuman low growls of EOS mastermind Daniel Neagoe and the contributions of violinist Casper and vocalist Anton, both from Russia's Dominia.

"Canto III is the most mature material we've worked on," comments Neagoe. "Its elements vary from pure agonizing and suffocatingly depressive moments, to a burst of rage and blast beats invoking quite a Black Metal environment. It's a development for sure due to the new line-up and its input on the songs and, with guests from Dominia -Anton on vocals and Casper on violin- we have included even more atmosphere and variety. It is for sure, our peak of creativity and musicianship!"

A video teaser for Canto III has been posted at this location.

Eye Of Solitude is a Doom / Death band from London UK, formed in April 2010.

The music is inspired by emotional distress, inner pain and a cruel combination of negativity and grief. Dark shapes that terrorize the soul and keep it captive on the altar of suffering, until when not being able to breathe any longer, it finds its end - a supreme escape towards peace and eternal rest. The Eye Of Solitude is the heart of forests where unsettled spirits dwell, it is the fear within, the carnal ripping of every thought when abandoned in despair, it is nightmare and enlightenment, a fearsome tide that carries the soul and mind onto dark realms of insanity.
