Alunah Announce New Guitarist; UK Tour with The Obsessed

alunah

Something of a surprise announcement from UK doomers Alunah in that they’ve parted ways with original guitarist David Day and brought in Dean Ashton to fill that role. Of course, one recalls that late in 2017, the Birmingham-based outfit bid farewell to guitarist/vocalist Sophie Day — also a founding member — and subsequently brought aboard Siân Greenaway as a standalone singer making her first appearance on last year’s Amber and Gold EP (review here).

The departure of David Day is one more level of intrigue surrounding what will become of Alunah on aesthetic terms. The EP answered some of the questions how the change on vocalists might play out, but now of course there’s an entirely new level of mystery surrounding the band and what Ashton might bring to the fold.

They’ve got some choice live dates booked to start to answer that question, and reportedly there’s new label news forthcoming as well for their next album.

Here’s what they had to say:

Alunah are honoured to confirm we will be joining Doom Rock Pioneers The Obsessed on their July UK tour. These dates, alongside our previously announced appearance at Manor Fest with Orange Goblin, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons and a very special headline show at Birmingham O2 Academy3, will see us showcase material from our new album to be released later this year.

These upcoming shows will also feature our new guitarist and friend Dean Ashton (current bass player in NWOBHM legends Diamond Head). Some of you will already be aware that David Day left at the turn of the year to concentrate on life outside of the band and we wish him all the best for the future.

Those wishing to see Alunah prior to the above dates will be able to on March 22nd as we have been invited to join A Pale Horse Named Death at the London Islington O2 Academy2. As APHND, Type O Negative & Life Of Agony Famiglia fans this is again something we are very excited about.

Further details on the new Alunah album & label signing will follow shortly. As always, we thank our followers for the continued support and look forward hitting the road with new material once more.
