Secret Druid Society – Restless

Black Drone is proud to support the first full length release by Secret Druid Society which is now available through a very nice US label First Fallen Star. “Restless” is a dark drone ambient album devoted to the life of abiocen, which goes on and on uninfluenced by the humanity and on time scales unfathomable by us. To those who did hear some Secret Druid Society previously (and purchased Building The Hell from us or Premonition from Widde Dood), expect more abstract music, more into drone than dark ambient.

CD comes in a digipak with 8-page booklet containing short poems to accompany the music.
You can order it through Dark Music Domain now and it will also be available at Black Drone mailorder in mid-September which will be cheaper for Australian mates.

Visit First Fallen Star for more info and samples.

Melissa Ferlaak joins VoidWork

Singer Melissa Ferlaak (Aesma Daeva, Visions Of Atlantis, Echoterra) has joined VoidWork for an upcoming album “Basement” which is to be released through Black Drone at the end of 2010.

Melissa holds a Master’s degree in “vocal performance with emphasis on opera” from Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music, has performed many opera roles and is the current lead singer for symphonic metal band Echoterra.

Commented VoidWork in a statement: “We warmly welcome Melissa and her amazing voice and look forward to the new dimension she will certainly add to our music. Together with Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana, Seventh Harmonic), she will be heard on the next release, ‘Basement’, which is scheduled for an autumn 2010 release.”

Speaking about the project, Melissa had this to say: “I’m very excited to be working on dark, ambient music again with Xavier and Ann-Mari. When Xavier wrote me about singing in VoidWork, I was instantly charmed by what I heard. It will be a great complement to my work in Echoterra and I can’t wait to begin diving into these masterpieces.”
