Son of the Morning Sign to DHU Records; Self-Titled Debut LP Coming Soon
Rife with classic swing and cultish theme, Son of the Morning‘s self-titled debut EP left a mark among listeners upon its release as the band’s opening salvo in 2017. The Iowa-based four-piece have accordingly been snagged by DHU Records for the follow-up first long-player, which is a prospect that has one curious to see how the group will answer the promise held in a fuzz-doom roller like “Release” while at the same time distinguishing themselves from the multitudes of riff rollers out there. Brimming with heft and proto-ethereal melodicism as they are, they’ve got their work cut out for them in that regard, but the atmospheric flourish and core songwriting approach the band showed their first time out does nothing if it doesn’t bode well.
The PR wire brought the announcement through:
NEW SIGNING TO DHU RECORDS: SON OF THE MORNING
Son of the Morning is an occult rock, doom 4 piece from Iowa.
From the pale grey light of America’s Midwest, come Son of the Morning. An occult rock, doom band that interplay’s the whimsical with the diabolical. The four members of Son of the Morning form the inner-circle of creativity that call upon the forebearers of dark hard rock and heavy metal. However, all is not as it seems as odd-meter and syncopated arragements dwell within the musical offerings.
Exploring the darker recesses of mankind’s aberrant behavior the band touches on religion, murder, pagan rites, superstition and worship. From fist pounding shuffle rhythms to skull crushed plodding, the music endeavors to take the listener through a dynamic range of expressions and emotions. The danger of Son of the Morning is the familiar invitation that gives way to a more sinister motive. By the time you learn of your fate, it is too late…
To most, the band would be considered new, if it were not for the wealth of experience amongst it’s members. Combined, the quintet represents decades of musical accomplishment and exploration.The bond was forged in 2016 and most of the year was spent crafting the band’s signature sound. 2017 saw a year of festivals and shows along with the release of a self-titled debut extended play featuring 3 songs. The release was well received by fans and critics alike.
If you give the devil an opening, he’ll take it…
DHU Records will be releasing their Self Titled full length (DHU028) in 2018 on limited edition vinyl.
For now you can partake of the 3 song EP released October 31st 2017 on bandcamp:
