16/Feb/2023 OCTOBER TIDE IS WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM
Swedish melodeath doomers OCTOBER TIDE are at the writing stage of their seventh studio album, with plans to complete recordings during the summer months.
Fredrik Norrman (ex-Katatonia, ex-Trees Of Eternity, Thenighttimeproject) finds the new material "less doomish" in comparison to the band's past works, that stretch from 1997's "Rain Without End" to 2019's "In Splendor Below".
"What to say about the sound? It’s definitley a step away from the doom genre we have been stuck in. Its more death metal in an oldschool kind of way. Its still October Tide but with a touch of the past," states Norrman.
The recordings will commence in May at the Swedish studio Gröndahl with Karl Daniel Lidén (Bloodbath, Katatonia) behing the consol desk. Later they'll move to the memeber's home studio and back again to Lidén, who'll mix and master the album.
