Finnish funeral doom pioneers SHAPE OF DESPAIR have inked a deal with Season of Mist. The band have finished recording a new full length album to be released by in 2015.
Regarding the signing, SHAPE OF DESPAIR comments: “We are proud to announce Season of Mist as our new label. Since our latest album Illusion’s Play was released 10 years ago, we can already reveal that our long awaited follow-up full-length will express misery in new ways. As we have published EP’s and our first releases via various labels, we are pleased to have found a steady home and look forward to a long lasting partnership.”
Formed in 1995, SHAPE OF DESPAIR have since achieved underground acclaim in doom and death metal circles through the release of their three well-received albums Shades of… (2000), Angels of Distress (2001), and Illusion’s Play (2004).
