The Meads Of Asphodel - Unveil Details Of New Split EP
After putting out a few compilations and a box set collection, the unorthodox British metallers of The Meads Of Asphodel are now about to grace their fanbase with some new material, a split EP with American band Tjolgtjar. The band elaborate on their Facebook page:
"Ok so some further info on the new Meads EP... Our half of the release will be named 'Taste The Divine Wrath,' a split with U.S psych black metal band Tjolgtjar, due for release on June 2nd via Eternal Death Records as a limited edition 7" Vinyl.
"With this EP we are happy to welcome to the Meads family new bassist (among other things) Pope Richard Alan Weeks. You can also hear The Pope working with J.D. and Andre in Ebonillumini & The Higher Craft, where they have been crafting music for the last two years. Fear not, Alan Davey will still be making appearances on future Meads releases.
"The EP will also feature guest appearances, including long time guest Mirai (Sigh), who wrote and performed the intro, theatrical actress Tania Azevedo, who lays down the vocals for our cover of 'You've Got The Love' (now renamed to 'You've Got The Hate'), and lending their pipes and atmospheres to the track 'Infidel' are Mexican folk metal band Cabrakaan. The Meads side of the vinyl will be released in the future in a digital format via Bandcamp and also as a VERY limited edition audio CD. Both formats will feature bonus tracks."
The track listing for The Meads Of Asphodel's part of the split is:
1). An Ebullient Prelude To A Loathsomely Grim End
2). Chidiock Tichborne
3). You've Got The Love
4). Balthasar Gérard
5). Infidel
The EP will come as the band's first new material since 2013's Sonderkommando. In the meantime, they continue to work on their as-of-now untitled new album.

Well you guys probably know who's most excited for this  According to the Godreah records FB, we can expect "a punk metal kick in the ass," which gets me even more hype because on the few occasions that the band's tapped into that part of their musical personality, they've nailed it pretty well.

Tjolgtar? Now that's an interesting partner for the split

Written by Auntie Sahar on 23.04.2015 at 01:36 I like it. Don't expect anything serious though. It's more like an even more bizarre version of Lugubrum. I just have the impression that Tjolgtar's production is far more noisier than Meads' then I get the feeling that the sides won't feel well together, so I don't know what to expect.
