Summoning - Begin Writing New Material
Today is a good day for "Tolkien metal" fans! Epic black metallers Summoning are already in the process of writing new material as stated on their official Facebook page today. They have already written new riffs and also rearranged some songs from the Old Mornings Dawn sessions.
Here is what Summoning had to say: "After having turned our attention on different things during the first half of this year, we are back to concentrate on Summoning again. There are already some new riffs composed and rearrangements have been done of songs from the O.M.D session. Protector also started to recreate our homepage, with a total new design and updated content. So the hammers are pounding loudly again in carven deep and far on the horizons the first ray of light are bearing witness of the return of the old ways ..."
So, it looks like we won't have to wait another 6 or more years for new music from this Austrian duo, or will we?

BREAKING NEWS AT THIS HOUR: new album will be an experimentation in the Avantgarde, and include several instruments Summoning have never explored before, including mandolin, baglama, and pipe flute. Comments Silenius: "we're sick of the fucking Caladan Brood comparisons."

Written by Auntie Sahar on 13.10.2014 at 18:35 They're a lot better than Caladan Brood imo ... Whatever, it seems that we can expect an interesting album soon.

Written by Zap on 13.10.2014 at 20:14 It was my sarcastic asshole way of saying they do (almost) the same thing on every album

This is great news, considering that I've been listening to a lot of their stuff in the past few days.

Alright, I'm here. You can all calm down. Yes, already saw this on Facebook earlier today. Great, unexpected news indeed. Like PocketMetal said in the shoutbox a few days ago, I'd like to see a full-length album similar to Lost Tales. So yeah, a heavily atmospheric/ambient one. Then again, I also like them to go back to a more heavier (BM) sound like for example is heard on Minas Morgul.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 13.10.2014 at 22:12 I just think they don't get enough credit when it comes to the variety in their sound. Not saying they are a very diverse band, but their albums surely are pretty different and most are very easily distinguishable... at least to me.

Written by Erik M. on 13.10.2014 at 22:01 I don't think I said that, I haven't even heard Lost Tales yet. OT: This is great news, and I also love Caladan Brood because they introduced me to the Malazan book series, which is way better than anything Tolkien ever wrote.

Written by PocketMetal on 13.10.2014 at 22:51 Ehh... damn, maybe it was Hex_Omega then?  I really thought you said it, but clearly I was wrong.Hah, good to see at least one Iranian to enjoy Summoning and Caladan Brood (yes, mz and Fritillaria, I'm referring to you ). I'm a fan of both bands, but Summoning is definitely superior as they pretty much pioneered the genre/style, while Caladan Brood wouldn't exist without Summoning. And also because Summoning has proven itself to be consistently great with each album they have released.

Written by mz on 13.10.2014 at 22:47 You're so funny. Then again, I think you like them more than Caladan Brood, at the very least.

Written by mz on 13.10.2014 at 23:16 Same difference. Honestly, now that I think about it, you might like their debut (Lugburz), if anything. It's their most BM album and it doesn't really sound a whole lot like the other albums.

Written by Erik M. on 13.10.2014 at 22:20 There is variety, it's just very, very subtle. You have to be looking for it, it's not blatantly obvious like with Devin Townsend, The Meads Of Asphodel, etc.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 13.10.2014 at 23:22 Indeed not exactly the most diverse band I can think of, but as I said, compare their albums and you'll realize their sound changed quite a lot over the years. If you're not convinced, I can give you examples, but I get the feeling you're not waiting for that.

Written by Erik M. on 13.10.2014 at 23:04 Nope it wasn't me. You showed me that album as a possible candidate for my EP list but somehow this album wasn't labelled as EP on MS (unlike MA).

Not the kind of band I would go and see play live, but I truly enjoy the atmosphere of their album so it's another great piece of news to hear about a new album !
