HOWL Take To The Streets This Weekend With Lord Dying

Rhode Island ragers HOWL will bring their metallic ruckus to the streets tomorrow on their first night of their North American Summer takeover. The chaos will commence on their home turf of Providence and bludgeon its way through 22 cities across the US and Canada. Ears will bleed; souls will burn. The band will be joined by Lord Dying.

HOWL will be touring in support of their Bloodlines full-length, recently discharged via Relapse Records. Delivering 40 inexorable minutes of lead-footed dirge, Bloodlines entered the Billboard Heatseekers Chart at #50, the Billboard Hard Music Chart at #57 and Billboard’s Indie Music Chart at #173 upon its first week of release! Dubbed “deliciously vicious” by MetalSucks, “consistently compelling” by Blabbermouth and “the equivalent of being punched repeatedly in the gut with brass knuckles and then pushed down the mouth of an active volcano” by American Aftermath, the record continues to reap critical hails nationally.

Bloodlines is currently streaming in its entirety at the band’s official BandCamp page HERE. Order your copy HERE. And if you missed it, don’t forget to peep the band’s Conner Owens-directed video for “Demonic” now playing below.

HOWL: Rhode Island Riff Manglers Complete New Album; Spring Takeover Announced

Providence, Rhode Island riff manglers, HOWL, recently completed the recording of their upcoming new full-length. Titled Bloodlines, the band’s sophomore offering was recorded at Planet Z studio in Hadley, Massachusetts, produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Soulfly, Crowbar, Municipal Waste, 3 Inches Of Blood et al) and offers up 10 tracks of lead-footed audio menace.

Comments the band on the results: "Bloodlines is HOWL 2.0/HOWL on steroids/the bigger, heavier album. We took our signature sound and pushed it to the next level. This is a metal record influenced by doom, rather than vice versa. There's more aggression, more extremes, it's harder-hitting. Zeuss really helped us capture the sound we wanted, the way we truly sound. Bloodlines is huge, brutal, monstrous!"

Bloodlines is set for release via Relapse Records April 30, 2013. As a precursor to the record’s official unveiling, HOWL will take their metallic doom to the road on a month-long run of live takeovers set to begin next month in New London, Connecticut. HOWL will be joined by a host of sonic assassins throughout the tour.
