Koboloris back in the studio!

Good news - Koboloris has returned to the studio and is working on some new material.

Any signs of this duo going in a more mellow direction have been utterly trashed! Koboloris is going back to doing what it does best - loud, uncompromising black metal, tinged with death influences and infernal melodies that will get stuck in your head and keep those horns in the air.

Mourning Hours - new album and logo plans!

A new release is planned for Mourning Hours, and should be ready by mid-2013! This time, it will be a full length album, with the first pressing limited to 30 CD copies. Soon, we will also unveil a new logo for the project.

You can hear the first work-in-progress track, right here from the Mourning Hours Soundcloud page -

Koboloris - new plans and promo video!

Koboloris have started working on their next EP, with guitars and bass already recorded for their first new
song. So far, the new material is sounding closer to its black metal roots, with more emphasis on building dark guitar melodies and less on the symphonic approach of their first self-titled EP. It will be well into 2013 before the new release takes form, so for now, here is a new promo video of what we think is the best song from their debut - Astral Gate to the Infernal ...

News from the studio & Free track!!

It's done! We have finally finished the recording and production of the Koboloris debut EP, just in time to do some promotion before the release date of August 31st. In our last session we finished off the very last track on the EP, nailing some intricate bass parts and utterly dark vocals on what is the fastest and most heavy sounding of all the songs.

To celebrate the completion of what has been our focus since March this year, we are giving you the gift of our very first track, click this link to get the free song "Lupinotuum"! Please feel free to share the song with your friends and spread word of our grand schemes that will unfold on August 31st. In the mean time, check out some snaps from our last studio session.

On Tuesday, we (Koboloris) spent the afternoon working on some of the final production tasks before the debut EP is completed, this particular afternoon we had the small matter of goblin-vocals to attend to..

After suffering a computer virus attack, it looked like we would be up against the clock to finish the EP production, however we managed to pull the main mixing computer back from the blink of near oblivion, so only a day of mixing time was lost.

Only a couple more sessions to go and we will be all finished with production and ready to unleash the Koboloris debut EP. In the mean time, here are a couple of snaps of things in our workspace ..



4X10 cab, mainly used for resting things on, also comes in handy for recording bass out of. 

The vocal condenser mic, very handy for capturing the soul-wrenching screams of forest goblins.

Latest developments (Koboloris).

We have now switched the video side of things over to Vimeo, so the new videos for Malign Inspiration and Lupinotuum are now viewable in much better quality!

August 31st is looking likely as the date for the release of Koboloris's debut EP, featuring four tracks and to made available as a download with artwork, possibly in other formats such as CD/Tape later on.

Our production side of the operation at Three Rooks Production will be finishing up the EP soon, with two of the four tracks already mixed and mastered, the final tracks will follow shortly. We are also looking at the option of shooting a full-on music video to accompany one of the tracks from the debut release. August should be an eventful month!
