Black Lotus - Last Signatures Of The Label


Black Lotus Records is proud to announce the signing of Mark Zonder's new band TempleWithin. After departing from FATES WARNING, along with the talents of Wayne Findlay (MSG) and Gregory Analla (Seventh Sign and Tribe of Gypsies) the legendary drummer of WARLORD, has formed a brilliant modern heavy rock act. "I am very proud of my work for the past 14 years with Fates Warning?" Mark said in a recent interview, and continues: "however, this is something very different, the new TempleWithin album will speak for itself and have its own identity."

Indeed, the demo tracks reveal a powerful band of strong musicianship with tasteful melodic songs. We just can't wait to listen to the final outcome! The album (untitled still) is currently in the works with Joe Marlett (Bruce Dickinson, Korn, Steve Vai, Revolver, Brian May and others), taking care of the engineering and the final mix. A release date is set for May 2006.

The first band in Finland to be called as a DOOM act is SPIRITUS MORTIS. Formed in late summer of 1987 their unique sound can be heard from the very early demos: growling bass, massive guitars and viciously thundering drums. Cult following was gained by reviews of demos and furious gigs? Their self-titled debut album was released in January 2004 on the now defunct Rage Of Achilles label and fell like a dark day with icy rain onto the doom metal community?

Now SPIRITUS MORTIS have joined the ranks of Black Lotus and their second offering entitled "Fallen" will doom this world in February 2006. Vocalist Vesa Lampi comments: "After 18 years of existence Spiritus Mortis is still alive and kicking. Charging like a herd of overweight rhinos. And now filled up with Ouzo! We are really looking forward to this co-operation with BLR, so let's spread some SM disease! "

THUNDRA was formed as a project of Harald (ex-Enslaved), Stein (ex-Einherjer) and Nils (synth) in 1998. Their first album "Blood of your soul" was released in 2001 on Spinefarm records to a general applause. After leaving Spinefarm and a 3-track demo the band start working really hard on a new album. The result is "Worshiped By Chaos", a work totally different than the debut, much darker, more complex, more extreme with a killer sound courtesy of their own Black Dimension Studio. THUNDRA have just inked a deal with Black Lotus Records for the worldwide release of this killer masterpiece set for February 2006. Expect a high quality extreme album from Norway's best-hidden secret!
