Official press release:
Argento Records proudly confirms the label’s next official release, with a newly recorded album by Dutch black metal act, Verwoed, titled Bodemloos, marking the outfit’s first recordings since converting from the moniker, Woudloper.
Utrecht-based soloist Erik B. began paving his path of destruction as one-man project, Woudloper, in 2014, creating an ethereal yet scathing style, heavily rooted in traditional black metal, yet reaching into more psychedelic realms of inspiration. Breathe Plastic released a critically acclaimed, self-titled demo tape in 2015, yet immediately subsequent to its release the project changed its name to Verwoed, as an even more exploratory epoch of the band was taking place.
On the maiden official Verwoed release, Bodemloos sees this artisan peeling back even more layers of this project, exposing incredibly dense and much more psychedelic and hallucinogenic cosmic textures than before, while remaining yielding in its nihilistic and violent tactics. Bodemloos brings three massive new movements into existence, its immersive tones recorded, mixed, and mastered by John Bart Van Der Wal (Aborted, Herder), the album completed with cover artwork created by Joost Vervoost (Terzij De Horde). Argento Records will release Bodemloos on CD, digital, and 180-gram one-sided LP, the vinyl’s B-side featuring an etching handled by Reuben Sawyer (Chelsea Wolfe, Hollow Sunshine), on July 8th. Audio samples, preorders, and further info on Bodemloos will be issued in the days ahead.
Following the release of Bodemloos, Verwoed will transform from a solo outing into a five-piece lineup, and begin performing live, the first shows to be announced shortly.
Bodemloos track listing:
1. “Bodemloos”
2. “Een Leven Aan De Oppervlakte”
