With The Dead is a new U.K.-based band featuring members of Cathedral and Electric Wizard. They will release its six-track, self-titled debut on October 16th via Rise Above Records. With The Dead was formed by the founding rhythm section of occultist doom overloads Electric Wizard: guitarist/bassist Tim Bagshaw and drummer Mark Greening, and vocalist Lee Dorrian of Cathedral. You can hear a sample from the upcoming album below and check out more about the band on their Facebook page.
With The Dead tracklist:
01. Crown of Burning Stars
02. The Cross
03. Nephthys
04. Living With The Dead
05. I Am The Virus
06. Screams From My Own Grave
WHAT A FUCKING LINEUP! Cathedral's amazing singer Lee Dorrian, Tim Bagshaw was a great heavy bassist for Electric Wizard, but he just ditched them on stage that one time. I hope he sticks around and that they all get along well. Mark Greening is a fantastic drumming with the most dynamic stoner/doom metal drumming and fills especially other than Chris Hakius. Greening's playing is arguably the best doom has ever heard, but he got into fights a lot too with Jus. I have a feeling since Jus of Electric Wizard isn't in this it could turn out well/last longer/have less fights. This sample is heavy and really cool, so I will hope for the best.
Exciting news. I Guess this might end up being the band Dorrian performs with at Roadburn then.
Here's a full track by the way, if that preview isn't enough for you guys
---- I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go.
