A few days after “the end of the world” and two years on the road defending “Heliogabalus”, working on some split collaborations and trying to write new music, using new schems, time has come to finally announce the third album by the swiss doomcore/black conspiracy named Rorcal.
A subtle blend of old drone/doom ingredients and some new unexplored black metal influences finally gave birth to eight new tracks, recorded by Stéphane Kroug (at Wood Recording Studio) and place in the hands of Raphaël Bovey for the post-production to be reunited under the sweet name of “Vilagvege”.
For the fist time, Rorcal is happy to release this new album on vinyl, in close collaboration with its own imprint Cal of Ror Records (Lilium Sova), Sick Man Getting Sick Records (Alaskan) from Germany and the new french label Lost Pilgrims Records (Cortez). A tape edition will follow on the german Wolves in Vibrancy Records (Ilydaen).
The release is planned for the 28th of February 2013 and will be followed by a new tour through European soils, from March 27th to the 6th of April.
So be prepared Doom is upon you and from now limited pre-orders are up on Rorcal webstore, Lost Pilgrims & Sick Man Getting Sick.
By the way, a third track from “Vilagvege” has surfaced on Bandcamp. Click of the artwork below and spread the word.
