One week from the release date, we are pleased to present “Daughters Of Eve”, the opening track of QUICKSAND DREAM’s awaited second album “Beheading Tyrants”.
Featuring an evocative Van Gogh’s painting on the cover, “Beheading Tyrants” will be released on compact disc, vinyl (black and limited brown) and digital on November 18, 2016.
Sixteen years after the release of “Aelin”, cult Swedish epic metal band QUICKSAND DREAM is finally ready to release their second album, “Beheading Tyrants”.
QUICKSAND DREAM is one of those bands surrounded by an aura of secrecy, its name spoken among a selected circle of fans. The strength and beauty of “Aelin”, originally released in 35 CDRs copies and repressed in 2010 by Chris Black’s own label “Planet Metal” (vinyl version on High Roller Records) , built up a loyal and strong army of devotees enchanted by the band’s unconventional and genuine offer.
Through all these years founding members Patrick Backlund (Mortalicum) and Göran Jacobson have kept the flame of QUICKSAND DREAM alive, and now with the help of Henrik Högl and Andreas Häggström are ready to release their second opus.
Adorned by Vincent Van Gogh beautiful “Autumn Landscape At Dusk” painting, “Beheading Tyrants” consists of six tracks of heavy, doom-tinged epic metal, recommended for fans of Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Solstice and Black Sabbath.
Cruz Del Sur Music is proud to unveil the secret upon the album and in collaboration with Decibel Magazine to present “Girl From The Island” the first track out of it.
“Beheading Tyrants” will see the light in mid November in Compact Disc, Vinyl and Digital.
Cruz Del Sur Music is pleased to confirm the presence of American traditional heavy/doom metal ARGUS at the Dublin Doom Days festival.
Their attendance was put dangerously at risk due to the impossibility of organizing a short European tour around the festival, shows that would have helped to recoup some of the high intercontinental airfare expenses.
However thanks to a joint work between the festival, the band itself and Cruz Del Sur it was possible to save the day and have ARGUS fly to Ireland for the show and possibly a couple of other local gigs including an acoustic set for the now famous Into the Void “acoustic gigs” series.
Cruz Del Sur Music would like to extend our gratitude to all the players involved, Argus, Mark Leigh of Dublin Doom Days, Pawel Palica and Marcin Dec in Poland who had given all their support for a show, Felipe Plaza of Procession and Pim Blankenstein of 11th Hour for the help in getting contacts, Björn of Tragic Serenades booking in Hamburg and Luther of Hooded Priest for the good predisposition.
See you in Dublin!
