DOOMWARDS LET US ROW-European-Tour
AHAB
The Shooting Stars from Germany recorded their first demo anno 2004. They invented the term Nautik Funeral Doom and their concept is to interprete literature like Moby Dick musically and lyrically. Since 8 years theydeveloped Stepp by Stepp into one of the most succesful Extreme Doom acts ofEurope. On their new album "The Giant" (Napalm Records 2012) they still sailthrough every ocean od Extreme Doom. Most recognisable are the bonecrushinggrowls - some claim, these are growls never heard before in music. But also the epic clean vocals and the massive guitarsound with the fine guitarmelodies are unique. This time Ahab decided to interprete the book "The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym" by Edgar Allen Poe. www.ahab-doom.de
ESOTERIC
This UK-based band is KULT since long. Their records like "The Pernicious Enigma" are milestones od psychedelich Funeral and Death Doom. Very few bands influenced this genre in the last 20 years like ESOTERIC. On this tour "Doomwards Let Us Row" the band will celebrate their 20th anniversary and as a present to their fans, they will not only play the songs of their latest record "Paragon Of Dissonance" (Season Of Mist, 2011), but many a song of the past 20 years. www.esotericuk.net/
