2012 Plans

Sometime this year Rote Mare will be releasing a split with Melbourne based Doom lords Dire Fate. Our contribution to the split is the 15 minute epic new track "The Hour Of Doom" and a re-recording of "Sinking Ships" originally from 2005's the "American Terrorist" demo. Our tracks are recorded and only need mastering. Hopefully someone will be releasing this split sometime in 2012.

Around May 2012 we intend to start recording our second album as yet untitled. We currently have 11 tracks which we will most likely record and then choose 5-6 to make an album which runs for about an hour. The leftover tracks we intend to release also at some point as part of splits, EPs or whatever. Maybe even a second album. Depends on the circumstances.

Old tracks set to be re-recorded are Nothing, The Thief, Suicidal Slayer, The Serpent and The Stones Of Blood. New track titles are Shameless, The Funeral Void, The Kingdom, The Invocation, Shadow Of The Grave and The Furthest Shore.

It's a very varied bunch of songs which overall are probably a bit more aggressive and perhaps a bit more up-tempo then the previous album but certainly still doom and very heavy. The Celtic Frost influence is probably a little more noticeable in the tracks compared to Serpents.

Once the basic tracks are done we will probably spend a bit longer this time on getting the leads, melodies and vocals to a better standard aiming hopefully for a release sometime in 2013.
