HOWL Posts In-Studio Video Diary + Tour Update

Today Providence riff tyrants HOWL offer up a glimpse into the recording of their second full-length. Entitled Bloodlines, the ten-track slab of lead-footed, molten metal menace was recorded at the infamous Planet Z Studio in Hadley, Massachusetts with Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Soulfly, Crowbar, Municipal Waste, 3 Inches Of Blood et al).

Get a five-minute view inside the recording compound below.

Bloodlines will see North American release via Relapse Records on April 30th, April 26th in Germany,Benelux and April 29 in the UK and rest of Europe. As a precursor to the record’s official detonation, HOWL will take their metallic doom to the streets on a month-long run of live takeovers scheduled to commence next month in New London, Connecticut.

Commended for their distinct brand of “furious, bone-crushing, head-splitting doom” by MetalSucks, and their “huge riffs, excellent tone and an attitude not usually seen in bands with this much groove” by Crustcake, HOWLunleashed their Full Of Hell debut to unsuspecting ears in 2010. Gushed About.com in a near perfect rating of the record: “Full Of Hell isn’t just one of the best metal debuts of the year. It’s likely to be one of the best metal albums of the year.”
