Black Lotus: New album and new line-up
The following information was posted on Black Lotus’ official MySpace page:
It’s been almost two years since the release of “Harvest of Seasons” and Black Lotus is working hard on preparations for their third album.
There have been some line-up changes, as Nick Engwer & Adam Angus are off to pursue endeavours in other parts of the country. Jasper van der Veen has picked up the bass again, like he did on “Light Subsides”.
Black Lotus has signed with Canada-based Runic Era Records to release their next full-length, “Darkest Before the Dawn”, which is scheduled to be recorded this Fall. There will be CD & LP versions of the new album, set for release this winter.
There is also a split 7″ underway with Spain’s LUX DIVINA! Futher news on this will be posted soon.

...so now we’re thinking about the next step. And don’t worry. When we hit the road, I guarantee we won’t miss the UK!
— Damyen, Northern Plague, http://bit.ly/JuT8SgThe lyrics are mainly based in fantasy, and try to convey a larger concept, peppered with metaphors that hint at some very personal events and feelings.
— Ruptured Souls, The Furious Horde, http://bit.ly/HyfPUxYou give me a stage and you will see the difference between Nokturnel and most other bands.
— Tom Stevens, Nokturnel, http://bit.ly/Injd6yI am personally still a CD buyer and probably always will be. I like having the physical artwork in my hands. Mp3’s to me are not very attractive because I feel I’m not getting my money’s worth.

— Gideon, Crow Black Sky, http://bit.ly/InizpyCryptic Throne is a dark shamanic ritual. An entity which exists for the Primordial Thursian Worship of Dark Germanic Heathenism.

— Somber von Plaag, Plaag, http://bit.ly/IvTyW2The underlying theme is through the discovery of truth we find ultimate hopelessness. Each song explores death in a different context and theme.
— Voldamares, Eclipse Eternal, http://bit.ly/Hv2kYEI think illegal downloading is fine if you download just to listen, and if you like it, you buy it. If you don’t like it, delete it off your computer.
— Mike Priest, Absence of the Sacred, http://bit.ly/IGNpWkI think more bands should prioritize exposure over sales. The more exposure, the more sales. Be it ticket sales, album sales, or merch sales. That’s the way I see it.
