Last weekend we recorded 4 songs for our upcoming 15th anniversary. We recorded at the Get Rhythm studio where we rehearse as well. Things went really well. Since some news spreaded via our label concerning this CD we'll give you some more detail.
The CD will contain:

-No Hope (brand new song)
-Divinity (re-recorded version of the song originally on The Pathway)
-My Charcoal Heart (acoustic version featuring our driver/merchandiser Simone on mandolin)
-Love Like Blood (Killing Joke cover)

+ remastered versions of the songs of our split MCD with Cold Mourning from 98 and our first 7" EP Mountains of Depressiveness from 96.

The album is called "Charcoal Hearts -15 Years of Hurt"

Next weekend we will enter Excess studios in Rotterdam to do the mixing and mastering.

And if you've got time be sure to check us out saturday night when we perform at 'De Piek' in Vlissingen.

Doe mij er maar eentje

+1!

En voor mij ook eentje

idem, toch maar even kijken of het lukt met de party van hun

Benieuwd naar die killing joke cover. Zelfde snelheid als het origineel of gedoomd?

Ik kom 'm wel halen met de party, ik moet toch gasten mee terugnemen...

Laat me raden... alle bands behalve OT?

Inmiddels hebben we op onze MySpace pagina twee nummers van "Charcoal Hearts-15 Years of Hurt" gezet, te weten:

-Divinity (versie 2009)
-My Charcoal Heart (akoestische versie)

Er staan ook wat oudere nummers op nu MySpace de mogelijkheid biedt 10 songs te uploaden.

Bovenstaande CD komt officiëel 15 mei uit via Displeased maar hij is vanaf nu al verkrijgbaar. We hebben hem te koop op onze tour die morgen start.

Hou er voor mij de 11de maar eentje apart als je wilt .

En succes op de tour

Aanwezig op 4, 5 en 11 april. En morgen meteen maar die CD aanschaffen. Ben benieuwd!

Leuke nieuwe CD! Het nieuwe nummer 'No Hope' vind ik erg goed.

Hij is gaaf!

Vooral de keltisch aandoende versie van My Charcoal Heart is zeer geslaagd! Maar ook het nieuwe nummer is weer helemaal OT.

Goed bezig lui!

PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 16th 2012:

OFFICIUM TRISTE signs with HAMMERHEART RECORDS for album #5 !!!

Holland’s melodic doom/death metal veterans Officium Triste proudly announce the release of their 5th studio album, entitled ‘Mors Viri’, through Hammerheart Records on February 18th, 2013. ‘Mors Viri’ was recorded on several occasions during 2011 at El Pato studios in Bergweiler, Germany. Ronnie Björnström at Enhanced Audio Productions did the mix and master in Sweden. ‘Mors Viri’ sounds mature and varied with a focus on melancholic melodies, and is definitely their strongest recording to date.

Band statement:

“We’ve been working really hard on this new album and we are convinced we made a huge leap forward in both song writing as well as production. We are positive Hammerheart Records will be a big help in spreading our name even further. We’re really looking forward working with them.”

Hammerheart statement:

“When we received the new recordings of Officium Triste we were blown away, the sheer quality of every aspect of this recording is simply superb. Anyone interested in strong melodic Doom/Death Metal (think Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Anathema, November’s Doom) will have a new favourite band to add !!! Great to be working with these veteran guys who are around for almost 20 years now…”.

Niet verkeerd zeg.

Ook leuk dat het nieuwe album ook op vinyl zal verschijnen.

"With this new album Officium Triste have broken new ground with their songwriting both melodically and emotionally. Deep, haunting, heavy & beautiful. Perfect doom metal!"
Stuart Prickett (The Slow Death/Mournful Congregation)

“On ‘Mors Viri’ more than ever Officium Triste attain a perfect balance between crushing heaviness and delicate beauty. The 8 songs on the album weave a mesmerizing spell of sadness with gorgeous melodies and evocative lyrics, no doom fan will be disappointed!”
Ed Warby (Hail Of Bullets/The 11th Hour)

"With ‘Mors Viri’ it is clear that Officium Triste have delivered their greatest expressions so far; it is truly a journey that traverses everything from the sublime to the chilling and transcends the boundaries of death/doom without betraying their past whilst moving forward melodically and compositionally. I'll state without fear that ‘Mors Viri’ is one of the greatest albums of this year and the sound of a veteran band evolved into an entity where every component encourages and elevates the whole."
Tom Phillips (While Heaven Wept)

“Officium Triste have nothing to prove to anyone but themselves. ‘Mors Viri’ sees the guys sticking firmly to their musical guns, and with arguably the best arsenal in all of the melodic doom/death cannon, why wouldn't they? This album sounds like Officium Triste always threatened to, there's a heaviness of tone, a soaring clarity that coupled with Officium Triste patented songwriting, makes ‘Mors Viri’ the high-water mark of their career, and an album that makes you remember exactly why we fell in love with this genre of music in the first place.”
Brendan Roche (Mourning Beloveth)

Even een update.
Inmiddels bezit de band alle rechten over alle opnames en zijn alle albums nu beschikbaar via:

Beter!

Dacht het wel. Binnenkort meer mooi nieuws!

Een kleine 3 jaar is wel een redelijk ruime interpretatie van 'binnenkort'.

Leuke cover

Ja, Editors is een hele goede band (vooral de eerste twee platen) om doomy te spelen. Gave cover!
