Today brings big news from Finnish funeral doomsters Shape Of Despair. They have announced via their Facebook page that they've signed with the label Season Of Mist and that a new album is on its way, tentatively slated for an early 2015 release. Ten years have passed since the last full length album from this group, Illusion's Play, has seen the light of day.

The band issued the following statement: "We are proud to announce Season Of Mist as our new label. Since our latest album Illusion's Play was released 10 years ago, we can already reveal that our long awaited follow-up full-length will express misery in new ways. As we have published EP's and our first releases via various labels, we are pleased to have found a steady home and look forward to a long lasting partnership. Our next album has already been recorded and will be released early in 2015."





Reinvigorated by the addition of new vocalist Henri Koivula and a freshly inked deal with France's Season Of Mist, Shape Of Despair are set to begin anew, delivering yet another monolith of morosity.

Season Of Mist has already released the Shape Of Despair albums Shades Of... and Illusion's Play, as well as the Shape Of Despair compilation.
