Portland, Oregon doom-gazers\u00a0MEGATON LEVIATHAN, who completed a successful run of tour dates with cerebral\u00a0black metal behemoths Wolves In The Throne Room this summer, are set to begin work on\u00a0their as-yet-untitled\u00a0new full-length. The record,\u00a0which includes a\u00a0“smacked-out version of Judas Priest’s ‘Here Come The Tears,'” according to the band, will be unleashed during the latter half of 2012.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Further comments\u00a0vocalist\/guitarist Andrew Costa on the direction of the new material: “The new\u00a0tunes are dark but still retain the trademark\u00a0MEGATON LEVIATHAN\u00a0hooks and dreamy atmosphere fans have come to expect from\u00a0us.It<\/a>‘s a transmutation of a lot of my personal experiences in Alaska as well as our recent trails and tribulations as a young band. It will be delivered in a way most everyone can identify with.”<\/div>\n
The\u00a0band is also working on a split release with\u00a0 LA noise band Actuary. Further details to be unveiled soon.\u00a0\u00a0In addition, the eclectic\u00a0ensemble\u00a0will kick off the new year with a short string of West Coast headlining dates.<\/div>\n
