Doom On: SOLILOQUIUM Present Pre-Release Album Stream of 'Contemplations'

Doom On: SOLILOQUIUM Present Pre-Release Album Stream of 'Contemplations'     Stockholm (Sweden) - Melodic Doom/Death Metal Unit SOLILOQUIUM have teamed up with Dead Rhetoric to present the pre-release album stream of Contemplations.  Get Doomed at deadrhetoric.com/randomness/album-stream-soliloquiums-contemplations/ SOLILOQUIUM will release their highly anticipated sophomore full-length Contemplations June 1 on Chicago's Transcending Records.  Pre-order Contemplations transcendingrecords.com/CDs/10419/Soliloquium-Contemplations-CD.html Contemplations was once again produced by Mike Watts (Sleepwalkers, Terminus), who also handles the drums and electronics this time around. As for the sound of Contemplations generally, expect a more varied, less standard death/doom metal offering from SOLILOQUIUM. Don't worry though. The Stockholm darkness will still be highly present. Fill the void of the KATATONIA hiatus!  "Soliloquium nimbly guide the listener through a progression of moods that reveals the depth and sophistication of the band's emotional intuition." - Invisible Oranges "Sounding more like a band with 10 albums in their past, it's amazing that this is only Soliloquium's 2nd. It's an incredible effort." [9.5/10]  - Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life   "The gloomy, Katatonia-esque riffing is dead-on and helps to pull you into the mood at any given moment, and the band's switch-ups from heavier riffing to more melancholic melodies keep the listener enamored with the amount of layering and textures."  - Dead Rhetoric "For their very melodic Doom they have taken as a model bands like KATATONIA, ANATHEMA and PARADISE LOST." - Metal.de "They take the power of death metal and give a punch to the mourning atmosphere of doom.  If you miss Opeth on 'Orchid' then this is worth your time." [9/10] - Abysmal Hymns "Another great sounding recording from Soliloquium and if you are a fan of melodic  doom/death metal, you should check out this album."  - Doomed to Darkness      BIO SOLILOQUIUM is a three-piece melodic doom/death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden featuring members of Desolator and Ending Quest. The band began in 2011 and have released 3 EPs (When Silence Grows Venomous, The Concept Of Escape, and A Night Of Burdens), which were all released as Absence through Transcending Records, and full length An Empty Frame (Transcending Records, 2016). Their music draws clear influence from old school doom metal bands such as KATATONIA, ANATHEMA, PARADISE LOST, and OCTOBER TIDE.
