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:

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.

While in California for the Scion showcase, each band on the bill sat down for a full video interview. The full slate of interviews has now been released on YouTube. You can see our segment here, or just hit play below:
