Nearly twenty years after their last studio effort, Dutch cult doom-metal group CELESTIAL SEASON<\/strong> announce their return with a new album titled \u201cThe Secret Teachings\u201d<\/strong>, due out on October 23rd via Burning World Records<\/strong>. 

Formed in the early nineties, the Dutch group attained international acclaim with their first two full-length albums, \u201cForever Scarlet Passion\u201d<\/strong> from 1993 and \u201cSolar Lovers\u201d<\/strong> from 1995, both still regarded as seminal doom-metal releases right next to Anathema\u2019s \u201cSerenades\u201d, Paradise Lost\u2019s \u201cGothic\u201d and My Dying Bride\u2019s \u201cTurn Loose the Swans\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mix of the \u201cForever Scarlet Passion\u201d <\/strong>and \u201cSolar Lovers\u201d <\/strong>line-ups re-grouped to create what they labelled as the \u2018Doom Era\u2019 line up;  with Stefan Ruiters<\/strong> back on vocals, Lucas van Slegtenhorst<\/strong> on bass, Olly Smit<\/strong> and Pim van Zanen<\/strong> on guitars, Jason K\u00f6hnen<\/strong> on drums and Jiska Ter Bals<\/strong> back on violin and Elianne Anemaat<\/strong> on cello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they\u2019ve created and recorded an hour-long musical journey that not only recaptures the magic and splendor of their early years but also shows a masterful and well-balanced collaboration between seven talented and experienced musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seeds of this new album have been growing and cultivated for many years, and there were many reasons to complete the full cycle, initiated so many years ago. It is a personal album but also a big thank you to those dedicated fans that have supported us all these years.<\/em> Says the band about this new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burning World Records<\/strong> will proudly release the new album along with the re-release of the previous two classic \u2018Doom Era\u2019 LPs : \u201cForever Scarlet Passion\u201d <\/strong>and \u201cSolar Lovers\u201d<\/strong>, both albums remastered from the original tapes by James Plotkin. Pre-orders for the two re-issues and a box set containing these albums and the new album \u201cThe Secret Teachings\u201d<\/strong> will go live next Friday, September 4th, to coincide with Bandcamp Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
