Wowod and Somn announce split release
WOWOD and SOMN have announced a new split release!
The new split release from the two bands from Saint Petersburg, Russia, is scheduled to be released in October this year via Church Road Records, who also released WOWOD‘s crushing debut full-length Yarost’ I Proshchenie in January last year.
Speaking about the upcoming split, WOWOD comment, “We’re two neighboring bands sharing the local scene in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. We played many times together and thought it’d be cool to introduce each other to our fanbases by doing a split release. As Russians finding ourselves in this horrible situation, we are against cutting the cultural exchange, setting up new borders because of politics. We value human life regardless of nationality and are hugely opposed to whoever or whatever tries to manipulate us or our feelings.”
Alongside the announcement of the split, WOWOD have released the opening track from the record, titled Обречение: Часть 1 (Obrechenie: Part 1).
Speaking about the new song, which is part of a three-track suite, the band explain, “Obrechenie literally means “Doom” in Russian. This three-piece tells a story of lack of forgiveness in mankind which sets it on track to its inevitable demise. The tracks were written long before recent events, but they unintentionally resonate with what’s going on.”
