Background information about 'Summerland'

What happens when you blend the ethereal darkness of gothic rock with the crushing weight of doom metal? Dool delivers the answer with "Summerland", a breathtaking sophomore effort that showcases the Dutch quintet's evolution into something truly extraordinary. Fronted by the mesmerizing Ryanne van Dorst, whose voice shifts seamlessly from haunting whispers to powerful roars, this album is a masterclass in atmospheric heavy music that refuses to be confined by genre boundaries.

The nine-track journey opens with "Sulphur & Starlight", immediately establishing the band's signature blend of crushing riffs and celestial melodies. Tracks like "Wolf Moon" and the title track "Summerland" demonstrate Dool's ability to craft songs that are simultaneously heavy and beautiful, dark yet hopeful. The rhythm section of bassist Nick Polak and drummer Micha Haring provides a thunderous foundation, while guitarists Reinier Vermeulen and Ole Teeken weave intricate tapestries of sound that range from delicate arpeggios to earth-shaking power chords. This isn't just another doom record – it's a sonic exploration that pushes boundaries and defies expectations.
