Terrorizer Magazine have very kindly hailed us as their "Doom Spotlight Band of the Day" in conjunction with their "Secret History of Doom" magazine which we also featured in. The article also features their interview with Soph where she announces that our follow up to "Call of Avernus" will be entitled "White Hoarhound". The album, which will be recorded by Greg Chandler and mixed/mastered by Tony Reed, will be released in the summer on PsycheDOOMelic Records.

Hey! Hope you're all getting ready to eat too much, drink far too much and receive/give some awesome pressies! Who says the true meaning of Christmas is lost on us! We also want to thank everyone who made 2011 such an amazing year for us, with special thanks to the following: Mark at PsycheDOOMelic Records for having enough faith in us to sign us and release our second album in 2012. The awesome Mez of Heretic Promotions at Scruffy Murphys in Birmingham for being one of the best promoters and sound engineers that we deal with. Scruffy's is the best underground music venue in the Midlands and Mez does them proud! Two more awesome promoters - Dan and Reece at DesertScene! Constantly bringing the best bands over to the UK to play and inviting Alunah to play with them. This year we were invited to support Acid King and Karma to Burn and next year we're on the DesertFest bill - these guys deserve a HUGE thank you. There are loads of promoters who have helped us out this year - too many to mention so if we've not mentioned you we still love ya!! Bob at Soggy Bog who has continually supported us throughout the year and for inviting Soph to guest on one of his podcasts (listen here). Hellride Music, Core of Destruction Radio, Grip of Delusion Radio, Midlands Rocks, Blood Worm Brand and anyone else we've missed. Bit cheesy but everyone in 2011 who has watched us, listened to us, brought our merch, brought us drinks, told everyone how much they like us and even told everyone how much they hate us... it's all good! Massive thanks and salutations to the following bands who we've had the pleasure of sharing a stage with this year, if we've missed you it's nowt personal we were probaby just drunk! Acid King, Carlton Melton, Sally, Lifer, General, Karma to Burn, Fu Manchu, Black Spiders, Bastard of The Skies, Engines of Armageddon, Meadows, Iron Void, Viking Skull, Slab, Desert Storm, Pig Iron, Stone Axe, Stubb, Trippy Wicked and the Kosmic Children of the Knight (I used the full name lads!!), Firebird, Serpent Venom, A Million Miles, Gringo, Shebrew, Gurt and Dopefight. 2012 will be even better, we'll give birth to our second album which again will be recorded by the awesome Greg Chandler but mixed and mastered by Tony Reed of Stone Axe. we're supporting A Pale Horse Named Death (members of Type of Negative, Biohazard and Life of Agony - tickets £9 from us with free p&p), we're featuring on the Fallng Down zine compilation (track can be listened to here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl8aLhOpAew ) We're embarking on a couple of tours... more details soon but one will hopefully be with a PsycheDOOMelic label mate, the mighty DesertFest in Camden in April, and the International Powerhouse Doom Fest at Scruffy Murphys with Stone Axe (USA), Stubb (UK), Trippy Wicked and the Kosmic Children of the Knight (UK), Cultura Tres (VEN) and Banda de la Muerte (ARG). Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! See you in 2012! Alunah get heavyweight producers on board 13/10/2011
We're proud to announce that we will be once again working with the awesome Greg Chandler of Esoteric to record our second album which will be out mid-2012 on PsycheDOOMelic Records. Greg has previously worked with Serpentcult, Moss and of course us, he did such a blinding job with "Call of Avernus" at his idyllic rural studios in Canwell near Sutton Coldfield that we can't wait to return. This time around we will be turning to Tony Reed of Mos Generator and Stone Axe to mix and master the album. What we have heard of Tony's work so far is awesome and he is currently working on the new St. Vitus record so we are definetly in good hands. The title of the new album will be announced very soon. Alunah to release second album in 2012 20/09/2011
Alunah will be releasing their second album (title to be revealed very soon!) via PsycheDOOMelic Records in 2012. To support the release the band will be looking at touring in March and April. If you have any shows that you believe they may be suitable for please email belialbooking@yahoo.co.uk with the details. Cheers! Alunah Sign 2 Deals in One Week!! 09/06/2011
It has been announced that Birmingham based Alunah have signed a deal with Psychedoomelic Records; an Austrian label dedicated to doom metal who have worked with such notable bands as Ramesses, Pale Divine, Penance, Orodruin, Voodoo Shock and Wall of Sleep etc. In the same week the band also signed a re-release deal with Seattle based Doom Metal Alliance Records. Alunah, who formed in 2006 have become known for their relentless gig and touring activity off the back of their "Fall to Earth" EP (Nasoni Records, Germany) and debut album "Call of Avernus" (Catacomb Records, UK). The band will release their second album in 2012 through their new deal with Psychedoomelic Records, and will re-release "Call of Avernus" on vinyl later in 2011 with Doom Metal Alliance Records. Alunah will be touring in August 2011 with sludge legends Sally (ex- Rise Above Records / Mistress / Penance) and doom metallers Lifer (ex-Acrimony / Black Eyed Riot). Sophie Willett (vocals and guitar) commented, "We are extremely happy to be working with both Psychedoomelic and Doom Metal Alliance, we've known the former for a while as trading partners and their reputation for putting out great music precedes them. The guys behind DMA have been avid supporters of Alunah since we started. We've worked super hard in the past few years and it's great that labels as awesome as these have recognised that." |
