Dun Ringill Set March 1 Release for Welcome; Album Details Posted
As a gentleman of a certain age, every time I see the title of Dun Ringill‘s debut album, Welcome, I can’t help but hear the word said in the voice of the America Online sound effect on my Windows 95 computer. It was followed surely by “You’ve got mail,” or at least hopefully, since that was the equivalent endorphin rush to what social media notifications are now. “I’ve got mail, therefore I am,” and so on. All of this is surely besides the point of the Swedish outfit naming their first long-player Welcome, but it’s just where my head goes, and hey, it’s Friday, so maybe just roll with it.
The six-piece band have set a March 1 release for Welcome through Argonauta Records and have just unveiled the alternately nifty and horrifying cover art, as well as the track details and more background of its making. It all came down the PR wire, which assures regularly that, indeed, I’ve got mail. Which is fortunate, because I don’t have any friends to contact me otherwise, perhaps in part because I’m the kind of person who remembers computer sound blips from two and a half decades ago.

DUN RINGILL REVEAL ALBUM DETAILS!
Debut ‘Welcome’ drops March 1st 2019!
Of what started as a dark and doomy project with Nordic folk influences, when some of the best musicians the Gothenburg scene has to offer came together for a jam in 2017, should become something bigger: Welcome DUN RINGILL, your next favorite new Doom Rock band featuring members of The Order Of Israfel, Doomdogs, Intoxicate, ex Grotesque and many more! Set for a release on March 1st 2019 with Argonauta Records, today DUN RINGILL have unveiled the hotly anticipated details about their first and full-length debut album titled ‘Welcome’!
Recorded with mastermind sound wizard Julien Fabré and co-produced together with the band, the album artwork has been created by Niklas Sundin (Dark Tranquility). DUN RINGILL’s debut ‘Welcome’ will also feature songs with guest musicians such as Per Wiberg of Candlemass, Kamchatka and formerly Opeth.
The ‘Welcome’ track list will read as follows:
1. Welcome To The Fun Fair Horror Time Machine
(feat. Emil Rolof on Piano + Björn Johansson on Flute)
2. Black Eyed Kids (feat. Emil Rolof on Mellotron)
3. Open Your Eyes (And See The Happiness And Truth)
4. The Door
5. Snow Of Ashes
6. The Demon Within (feat. Per Wiberg on Hammond + Matilda Winberg on Intro Vocals)
When The Order of Israfel took a one year break from September 2017, the rhythm section Patrik Andersson Winberg (Bass) and drummer Hans Lilja (also in Lotus) grabbed the chance to create new music again together with Patrik’s old band mate from the Doomdogs era, Tomas Eriksson (Intoxicate and ex Grotesque). To make this exciting project of DUN RINGILL as great as possible, the band teamed up with Gothenburg’s fella musicians, guitarists Tommy Stegemann (Silverhorse), Jens Florén (also in Lommi & ex- live guitarist for Dark Tranquillity) and Patric Grammann (SFT, Neon Leon). In late 2018, the band premiered a first music video to the album opening track, watch ‘Welcome To The Fun Fair Horror Time Machine’ HERE!
