Lowburn Announce New Album Due Early Next Year
Finnish heavy rockers Lowburn are in the midst of preparing their second album — the title of which hasn’t yet been made public — for an early 2019 release through Argonauta Records. The same label handled the issue of their 2018 EP, Sleeping Giant (review here), as well as their 2015 debut, Doomsayer. As the EP saw an uptick in the quality of songwriting and the overall development in the band’s sound, and as they’ve already reportedly taken much of the new stuff to the stage, one has no reason to expect a backwards step from the Lappeenranta four-piece, who were pretty on point to start with, frankly.
Seems like we’ve got a little bit before it’s out — going by the below I don’t think it’s actually done yet — but it’ll be worth keeping an eye out and when I see something, I’ll say something, like the posters in the train stations say.
Argonauta posted the following:
After 2 singles, 2 EPs and the debut album “Doomsayer”, Finnish Stoner Rockers Lowburn have been working on their anticipated full-length album number 2. The 8 new songs of fuzzy heaviness is forming up nicely. These new songs show more of the heavier side of the band but of course there will be some psychedelia included!
Almost all of the new songs have already been gig-proved as well in couple of selected gigs around Finland. The cover-art and the album name are already decided and all the info will be revealed drop by drop before the album release early 2019!
After a short hiatus from music Tomi Mykkänen and Henkka Vahvanen from Battlelore started jamming again together. Miika Kokkola (founding member and original bass player from Battlelore) was contacted and asked if he wants to jam with the guys. He did. Miika said that he had already talked with Tommi Havo (another original Battlelore member) about the project and that he was very interested. So, enter Tommi and on the first rehearsal together the first real song was made. On the second rehearsal the second song was made and then it was realized that the band had been born.
