Four years since the release of their critically acclaimed fifth album, »The Dark Side Of Europa«, Italian doom metal forerunners Doomraiser return to the fray with their anthemic new album, »Cold Grave Marble« on 2nd October 2024 via Time To Kill Records.

The album was recorded and produced once again by Danilo Silvestri and the band, with artwork overseen by Fabio Listrani.

»Cold Grave Marble«, the sixth Doomraiser full doom length, is a frozen view in the darker side of life: Death, the Omega of our earthly dimension. The album is made up of raw riffing seasoned up in heavy, dark and gloomy dreaming atmospheres, and explores a plethora of styles with different sounds and solutions. The songwriting approach is rougher than before, experimental, suggestive, still preserving the classic Doomraiser characteristic sound.

The whole concept lies upon a personal portrayal of Death, the Infinite Void, the Great Absence, the greatest experience in matter of Chaos and disruption of reality. It’s a journey exploring the end of the biological cycle and man’s awareness of the ancient idea of “having to die”, an extreme but natural event belonging to the inevitability of time.

The album was recorded in Rome, Italy, by the skillful hands of Danilo Silvestri and mastered (just like the previous album »The Dark Side Of Old Europa«) by Claudio Gruer. The record features important guests such as James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Testament), Flegias (Necrodeath), Mario Di Donato (The Black), Nequam (The Magik Way, ex-Mortuary Drape) among others.

This crushing doom metal release is now available in a variety of formats:
• Limited Edition White Marble Vinyl
• Black Vinyl
• Cassette
• CD
