Wheel Announce Preserved in Time Out April 9 on Cruz Del Sur
15 years on from their founding and eight years since their most recent long-player, Germany doomers Wheel are set to make a return next month with Preserved in Time. With the release, Cruz Del Sur continue their admirable allegiance to quality doomcraft and traditional metal, and the Dortmunders should find welcome among those who’ve opened their arms in recent years to the likes of Orodruin and Pale Divine, among other choice acquisitions the label has made inside and out of the genre.
Icarus, which was Wheel‘s 2013 album — you’ll note the new record closes with “Daedalus,” which is fair enough — came out through Eyes Like Snow, as did their 2010 self-titled debut, and though it’s been a while since anything’s come out under that particular banner, it remains a trove of well-curated acts for those who might seek to dig. If you find after listening to the new Wheel track “She Left in Silence” below that you’re game to dig further into their prior two LPs — the cover art here also calls back somewhat to the profile on the debut, so there’s definitely some self-directed conversation happening — they’re streaming on Bandcamp. It’s not going to make your day less doomed.
The ol’ PR wire puts it thusly:
