Ištar promo sessions, pt III-V.
So, many odd days and weird nights has been spent on recordings. Drums, percussions, one guitar and bass tracks are ready. Second guitar and overdubs (if any) will be recorded late on this week.Our delirious drummer/mustachio Jesse babbled something about new myspace layout in prior to release of these songs, just can't wait.

Ištar promo sessions, pt I.
Shock! Horror!
Members of Dusk of Man are actually putting down their beer, bacon, laptops, wifes, bikes and other substances and actually DO something!
So, yes. We are about to record 2 song - promo, named after Ištar, Babylonian goddess of fertility, love, war and sex. I'm not really sure if it's ever going to be released in any physical format but you can expect to hear some noises at our myspace and even more lossless noises at our webpage in few weeks.
The songs on this promo will be CARAVANS and HORIZON. First one is already appearing on our self-titled demo. We tought that last recording of this song didn't quite gave honor to that song so we will re-record it right this time. The second one is quite new one (ok, almost a year old), thundering at lenght of some 10 minutes and being the shortest piece of our upcoming EP.
"Studio" diary will follow shortly.

"New" songs
Caravans tells us a story of a fight-till-death battle between man and his spiritual self, taking place somewhere near Ursa Major. The happenings of Caravans take place some 100 years after project Haloperidol was failed on Earth. More on that later. As a song, it's a straight-in-your-face stonercore piece with mental and physical bass and guitar walls, coming at you scaringly uneasy.
Horizon on the other hand is this maritime blues about long lost love and billaging seamen who ultimately trip on their own greed. It is one of our most post-rock songs with its meandering riff structure and eerie guitar sounds. We hope you'll find yourselves positively surprised by both songs.

Hey, cool, song biography!
CARAVANS is basically one of the first DOM songs among 'Monolith', and first version of it was originally made in fall of 2006, as far as I remember. Structure is quite naive and too random to my ears now, 3 years later but I rather do new songs and put my energy on them than try to correct age old mistakes. We re-recorded it because we find it at least quite entertaining piece of random noise and shouting and the last version of it on our first demo wasn't quite good enough to give full potential of this song to the audience. As interestin notion, this song originates from era that DOM really didn't exist as a full band and I didn't had that self-feeding vortex of our own existence to aid me in writing process. So if you listen it carefully you can hear some influences from crust punks big names to some doom metal acts. Mostly this song is the landmark of "post-apocalyptic crust-doom" concept we had in our minds in early 2007.
HORIZON is a bit newer piece. Some parts of it originate from improvised parts that we recorded on rehearsal hall in last summer, long middle part is written in early 2008, ending has taken its form in about six months, from spring to fall of 2008. At this point most of my ideas came from our own songs and improvisation. Ending of this song actually honor briefly some influental new, 2nd generation modern black metal bands we just took their concept a bit further in our own style. Everything has its roots.
Hope you enjoy them. Thanks.
