Dool - The Shape of Fluidity - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

If there was one European rock band that raised more than a few eyebrows in the last two years, it is Dool. The Dutch found their debut album InchHere Now, There ThenInch in many Inchbest of 2017Inch lists and reader polls while constantly touring the continent, playing every festival from Roadburn to Wacken, House Of The Holy to Graspop. The InchLove Like BloodInch EP will shorten the wait for their second album with a cover of the eponymous Killing Joke classic and two b-side tracks from Rock Hard Festival capturing Dool's unbridled live power. Singer/guitarist Ryanne van Dorst comments on the choice of the EP's lead track InchApart from being a massive hit during our childhood years that was weaved into the very structure of our musical beings, 'Love Like Blood' remains a gem to revisit over and over. And so we did on our first tour as a band, listening to it in the van, and started wondering what it would sound like without it's signature staccato beat. Back home, we took the plunge and dived deep into it's dreamy waters. After a few rehearsals, we started playing our version live and grew to it the more often we did. By now, it almost doesn't feel like a cover song anymore, so we decided to record and share it with you. Here's our tribute to one of the best songs ever written.Inch

They had hardly been able to tour their latest, sophomore full-length InchSummerlandInch due to the global pandemic. They were also aware that this would be the last concert with their friend and drummer Micha Haring, who had previously announced in private that he was leaving DOOL for personal reasons. The stage seemed set for a most melancholic performance in the fitting location of the Arminiuskerk (InchArminius ChurchInch) in Rotterdam. Surrounded by the sacred architecture and grave religious imagery and in front of family, friends and their most loyal fans, DOOL put all their heart's blood, sweat, and tears into their songs while on stage. The band wove pure magic on stage. Out of despair and pain grew the bright light of musical beauty and hope of what singer Raven calls their quite likely best performance ever. Ever since rising from the ashes of THE DEVIL'S BLOOD and ELLE BANDITA in the old Dutch harbour city of Rotterdam in the year 2015, DOOL have left their gloomy mark on the European dark rock scene. Their debut album InchHere Now, There ThenInch was released in 2017 and immediately struck gold receiving Inchalbum of the month titlesInch in the renowned German magazines Metal Hammer and Rock Hard as well as the InchBest Debut Album 2017Inch award from the former - among other high praise from around the globe including from Vice (US), Aardschok (NL), and de Volkskrant (NL).
