Tour

And in April we embark on our second European tour, this time with While Heaven Wept and Pantheist. The tour kicks off in perfect style with our appearance at the second Doom Shall Rise.
Mourning Beloveth will play on the second day of the festival in the sleepy village of Goeppingen inside the walls of an old church, finally finishing off a week later at the Belgian Doom Night in Gent. It promises to be an amazing week of Doom.

The confirmed dates so far are

April 03 GER - Goeppingen - Doom Shall Rise II
April 04 GER - Ludwigsburg - Rockfabrik (+ WHW, Mirror of Deception, TPOG,
Pantheist)
April 05 tba.
April 06 Dresden - tba. (+ WHW, TPOG)
April 07 GER - Wuerzburg - Immerhin (+ WHW, TPOG)
April 08 tba.
April 09 NL - Groningen - Vera (+ WHW, Officium Triste, Pantheist)
April 10 BEL - Gent - Belgian Doom Night II

New album

Because of our busy schedule gig wise the recording of the album is being put back until October. The writing process is very interesting at the moment and with two songs complete and three more in the development stages it is still a bit early to describe the feeling and sound of the new album but it is very dark and epic with some new elements added to our sound. We plan on completing writing before we head off on tour and doing a demo of the new songs in June.

DVD and Merchandise

The bad news on the DVD front is that it is delayed again. After a lot of thought we have decided to defer the release of our first DVD until later on this year. One of the main reasons is the upcoming tour with WHW and our appearance at DSR as these events will give us a lot more footage to look at and hopefully make the release a bit more worthwhile.

It also looks like our deal with Rock Bottom/Metal merchant for the Sulcus shirts has fallen through and we will be printing them ourselves in the coming months so any pre orders would be greatly appreciated.

Some good news though is the Dust shirt design is complete and will be available soon through Razzmatazz and Sentinel.
