We are very proud to announce today that, after many years in the making, our new album, "Horizonless," will finally be released on May 19th, 2017 by Profound Lore Records. This chapter of all-new Loss material was recorded by Billy Anderson, emblazoned with brilliant artwork by Adam Burke, and features guest appearances by Wrest of Leviathan and Stevie Floyd of Taurus/Dark Castle. Pre-orders are open today, and you can hear the first full track from the album right now. Scroll down for links...

   We regret to announce a major change in our tour plans for October. While Loss will still be performing at the California Deathfest as planned, we've had to pull out of the rest of the 'Gloom Over the West' tour due to a misunderstanding regarding travel costs and the exclusivity of our Deathfest performance, which the tour had been built around.


   In better news: Worship was able to finance their travel costs independently, so Worship and Shroud of the Heretic will carry on with the tour as planned, with our friends in Lycus taking our place. Do not miss your chance to see them live, and we will see everyone at the Deathfest.

Sincerely,
Loss

Update: Plans for 2015 (New album, California Deathfest, and More)

NEW ALBUM:
Publicly, things have been very quiet regarding Loss lately. Behind the scenes, though, plans that will see us through the next full year are taking shape. We are currently deep in the writing process for our second full-length album for Profound Lore Records. This entirely new set of songs will first see the inside of a studio later this year.


LIVE SHOWS:
We are proud to announce that we will be playing the California Deathfest 2015 in October, which is a new west-coast endeavor from the people behind Maryland Deathfest. It will take place on October 9th-11th, 2015 at the Oakland Metro, in Oakland, California. We perform on Sunday night. Tickets are available here.

Among the many great bands slated to play this fest, you will find our friends and European tour-mates, WORSHIP, with whom we will be playing some live dates leading up to this fest. We greatly look forward to sharing a stage with these men again. Dates/cities for those shows TBA.

REISSUE:
In the meantime, those seeking our currently out-of-print split with Hooded Menace, "A View from the Rope," should be able to pick up an all-new repress this fall, courtesy of Doomentia Records. We will share release and ordering details as soon as we have them.

Loss / Worship European Tour: May 2014

Loss will be touring Europe in May, along with our comrades in Worship. We will be performing at two festivals, in addition to clubs across Denmark, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, and Poland.

Loss & Worship Vs. Europe / Heavy Days In Doomtown...

 

Loss is set to play Heavy Days In Doomtown festival (For more information, updates and news please go to www.heavydaysindoomtown.com) followed by a 2 week European tour in May 2014. The tour will kick off at the HDIDT with dual headlining tour with WORSHIP to follow... More dates and information to follow soon as well as new merchandise news.

We will also be performing at the second Gilead Fest in July. Stay up to date at www.gileadmedia.net/fest.

We are hard at work preparing to enter the studio for 2 upcoming splits with GRAVES AT SEA and HOODED MENACE and finishing the follow up to Despond, out later this year via Profound Lore.
More soon...F.V.V. ~Loss

Update: Summer 2013

Since our last update, we've been hard at work on our contributions to two forthcoming split releases. The first will be with Graves at Sea, which will see vinyl and limited CD-release through Gilead Media, and the second will see us splitting vinyl sides with Hooded Menace. Updates will be coming soon on both of these releases. To keep up with our latest news, please follow on our Facebook page.

We will have two live performances this fall:

The first will take place at Stella Natura: The Light of Ancestral Fires II, in Tahoe National Forest, California, from September 20th - 22nd. We are honored to be performing with a very talented and diverse array of bands from the metal, folk, and psychedelic/esoteric/experimental music scenes, all while set deep in the woods. We're sure it will be an event like no other, so we are planning some exclusives for that weekend -- including new merchandise (details below). Tickets are very limited, but there are still some available here. 

In October, just before Halloween, we will return to Baltimore to headline the second day of the Autumn Screams Doom II festival, to be held at Ottobar on October 25th and 26th, 2013. You can order tickets here. 

Merchandise:

Our web store has been re-stocked. We currently have the new black-on-grey version of our "Life Without Hope..." shirt (as well as copies of that demo CD), and the woodcut/metallic print design of our "An Ill Body Seats My Sinking Sight" shirt. We also have two posters: Our extremely limited MDF art print for "Shallow Pulse," and the last remaining copies of our tour poster, featuring artwork by Lorraine Rath of Worm Ouroboros. 

Order all of these HERE.

We have also unveiled a new design that we made exclusively for sale at Stella Natura this year, with artwork by Emiliya Tsankova. Here is a preview of that design, which features the piece "All Grows on Tears." 

Also: For those hoping for a repressing of "Despond" on vinyl, that will happen either late this year, or early in 2014. Stay tuned...

Update: Spring 2013

For those who haven't been following us on Facebook, here's a quick summary of what's happened since our last update. The November tour was a great success, and many thanks go out to all of the great bands we shared a stage with -- especially our tour-mates in Worm Ouroboros -- and all of the people who came to see the shows. That tour represented our first time setting foot in many of those cities, and we intend to return to the West Coast as soon as possible.

In the meantime, our next live performance will be at Maryland Death Fest XI, which will take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 23rd - 26th) in Baltimore. We are slated to play on Saturday, May 25th @ The Former Sonar Compound. Stage times have not yet been determined, but we will post an update as soon as we know. Details, website and ticket links are below:

LOSS: Saturday, May 25th, 2013
MARYLAND DEATH FEST XI
Baltimore Maryland @ The Former Sonar Compound

More live shows will follow in the Fall. Stay tuned for details. Otherwise, we continue to write and prepare for the next album, as well as two forthcoming split releases.

Limited quantities of our new zip-up hoodie are still available from our web store, featuring a detail of Richard Friend's "Despond" album cover art on the front breast, and his "Silent and Completely Overcome" artwork on the back.

All other currently available merch can be ordered from us here, or from Gilead Media.

Summer 2012 Update: New music, new releases, shows, interviews, and more.

This website has been quiet, but we have been busy following our string of spring shows, so we'll take a moment here to address a few topics:


New material:

Writing for our second full album is officially underway, and the bulk of our time as a band will be dedicated to this pursuit for the next several months. Judging from what has already come out of these sessions, the sounds we'd only begun to explore while writing "Despond" will now be allowed to flourish and expand. 


Upcoming splits:

As announced recently, we are also working on a new song for an upcoming split release with Finland's Hooded Menace, to be released by Doomentia Records. A second new track is being prepared for another upcoming split release, to be announced soon. Both of these releases will see the light of day before the next album. Details coming soon...


Live shows:

Although we will be spending most of our energy on writing for the rest of this year, we are currently planning a West Coast mini-tour of the U.S.A. in mid-November. We'll share the details and band line-up for those shows as soon as we have everything confirmed. Another show in Nashville is likely this Fall as well.

We have also been confirmed to play next year's Maryland DeathFest XI in Baltimore (May 23rd - 26th, 2013), along with Carcass, Venom, Morgion, Pagan Altar, and many more. We're very much looking forward to that one.


Merchandise:

Our own online store is being restocked at the moment, but Parasitic Records and Contagion Releasing still both have copies of the "Despond" 2LP vinyl edition for purchase. The CD version can still be purchased directly from Profound Lore Records. Digital purchases can be made on our Bandcamp site, where the full album can be streamed as well.

w/ 12" booklet.

New and re-printed t-shirts are coming soon, along with oft-requested new hoodies and long-sleeves for the approaching autumn and winter months.

Scion Showcase & Interview Footage:

Two live songs recorded at our March 31st show in Pomona, CA have been released via Scion A/V & Profound Lore Records, as part of a promotional sampler, which can be streamed and downloaded here. The sampler also features live tracks from our friends in Pallbearer, Wolvhammer, The Atlas Moth, and Yob.

Our apologies: We are unable to play Chaos in Tejas

It is with great dismay that we announce that we will not be able to perform at Chaos in Tejas next weekend. Two of our members have employment obligations that simply cannot be ignored or escaped. It is literally a choice between playing the show and keeping our jobs. We are sorry as we know this is (very) last minute, but it was dropped on us within the last two days.... apologies... ~ Loss

This weekend: New York!

We will be playing our first New York show this Saturday night, along with our good friends in Pallbearer and Sewer Goddess, at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn.

Wisconsin this weekend for the Gilead Fest

We will play our first-ever Wisconsin show this weekend at The Gilead Media Music Festival, to be held at the Electric Lounge & Lanes in Oshkosh. We will be headlining on Saturday night, April 28th, so expect a full set from us this time. We will also unveil a brand new t-shirt design, available for the first time at this show.

FAQ: For those who don't already have tickets, the show is long sold out. Some people may be selling a few passes on the Facebook event page, though.

Next Live Appearance....

Fo(u)r Burials Double LP OUT NOW!

Parasitic Records has just released the Fo(u)r Burials 4 way split on gate-fold double LP.

They look spectacular and sound even better than the original release which we don't really even claim. This to us is the real and official release of this 4 way split with Loss, Mournful Congregation, Orthodox and Otesanek. Re-mastered and new artwork. Flenser did an amazing job and has been 110% professional! Expect the LP version out very very soon from Parasitic Records! parasiticrecords.blogspot.com
you can order this CD from us directly via our store or through the Flenser website.

  Also Tim has created a promo video for our contribution "(To Pass Away) Death March Towards My Ruin" viewable below: 

 

Rites of Darkness performance canceled....

We are canceling our performance at the Rites of Darkness Festival in San Antonio, TX on December 9th due to the promoter's failure to follow through on his promises and obligations to us (transportation, lodging, etc.). This leaves us no other option than to cancel. We have stretched our set deadline numerous times in order to make this show happen, but we have now reached the point where it can't be fixed.
We apologize to everyone that was looking forward to seeing Loss, but this situation is beyond our control. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
We will however be playing Austin, TX in June 2012 as a part of the Chaos in Tejas festival and the Cathedral Of The Black Goat festival in Chicago in March. More info to come and be sure to check the live dates page as well.

Update: Photos, Live dates, Reviews, Interviews, & Merch.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that we've updated several sections of the website:

In our "Photos" section, we've added a good number of photos that were taken at our CD Release party. Our "Live Dates" section has been updated to include our upcoming Nashville show with Yob and Dark Castle, as well as some further information about The Rites of Darkness III Festival in San Antonio this winter.

We've also just added a "Press" section, which now includes links to many of the interviews and reviews that have been coming out recently.

For those seeking merchandise, our web store should be ready in the next week or so. In the meantime, please contact us directly at lossdoom(at)gmail(dot)com to place an order. We are currently doing direct orders for the new CD w/ the exclusive patch, and the exclusive color version of the "despond" t-shirt. Please send any and all questions via email.
