It‘s time to re-open the gates of Barabbas’ holy redemption riff and find solace, tranquility and joy (not to mention an irreversible tinnitus): Closing an eight-year gap since their first full-length, Messe pour un chien, was released, the French doom metal band returns with a brand new studio album! La Mort Appelle Tous Les Vivants will be released on December 9, 2022 through Sleeping Church Records.
Barabbas is known for its take no prisoners philosophy, both on records and on stages, some of which they have already shared with, among many others, Windhand and Mars Red Sky or appeared at festivals alike Fall of Summer, Motocultor, Northern Discomfort and Malta Doom Fest to name just a few. So it may come as a surprise that the first album single the band has just unleashed today, is a melodic song with a rather elegiac feel.
“True, it’s quite different from the rest of the new album, proof we’re not a one dimensional band”, says Barabbas vocalist Saint Rodolphe. “Besides, Emmanuel Peyraud, from the late, great French band Northwinds, agreed to play the keyboards on this track and we are big fans of Northwinds.”
The (Northern) Autumn is here. The perfect time of the year to take long, melancholic walks through your favorite graveyards. Cemetery of broken dreams might be the perfect soundtrack next time you do so.
