Bloody Panda: Summon details revealed

New York City experimental doom metal act Bloody Panda has completed work on its new album, Summon, for an August 11, 2009 North American release via Profound Lore Records.

Fronted by Japanese siren and accomplished visual artist Yoshiko Ohara, whose death-defying wails have at once drawn comparison to Diamanda Galas, Björk and Jarboe, Bloody Panda creates unique, affecting heavy music that combines visceral power, pained beauty and devastating emotion. Since its formation in 2005, Bloody Panda has skillfully combined the brutal with the entrancing, generating buzz with the UG metal sect and the indie set alike, each drawn to the band’s super-strength songs, funeral doom arrangements and the sight and sound of a petite woman chanting and screaming in both English and Japanese alongside four imposing musicians sporting executioner’s masks.

An excerpt from the new BLOODY PANDA track “Miserere” is available at this location.
