"The Dark Side of Old Europa" was produced by Danilo Silvestri and by the band. Renowned artist Roberto Toderico is responsible for the impressive cover artwork that's now available along with the album's tracklist.
"Exploring Europa’s darkest events, we conceived an obscure sound relying on the Doomraiser ‘heavy drunken doom’ trademarks: heavy metal played at a monolithic pace, where fast and slower, gloomy introspective parts often collide. The final result is very ‘live sounding’, every instrument breathes with vicious abandon while building a tight wall of sound. This time around the songs’ length has also been reduced in order to strengthen their impact and intensity".
All tracks hail from DOOMRAISER's highly anticipated new album "The Dark Side of Old Europa", set for international release on January 24th 2020 via Time To Kill Records.
The official release show is scheduled for January 17th 2020 at Orion Club in Rome, Italy. The band will play the new record in its entirety.

https://doomraiser-thedarkside.bandcamp.com/ Formed in 2004, the Rome-based band have evolved into an instantly recognisable figurehead for those pushing doom metal into crushing new directions. Through the years the band have shared the stage with acts such as Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre, The Gates of Slumber and Orange Goblin and have been experimenting and contaminating their music with raw heavy metal, psychedelia and other influences.
