Methadone Skies to release Colosseus, their third studio album

2015 was a successful year that saw Methadone Skies performing successful shows in several countries that include Germany, Austria, Italy or Serbia, where the band secured slots at Tube Cult Fest, Exit Festival, Feed Your Head Festival or Revolution Festival with the likes of Black Rainbows, Belzebong, Caronte, 1000MODS, Shores of Null, Coogans Bluff or Triptonus. To maintain the momentum they have entered the studio to record a handful of new tracks.

After months of fine tuning, at the beginning of April, the leading Romanian psychedelic/stoner
rock/metal act will release its 3rd full-length, aptly titled Colosseus. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Eclectic Electric sees the band further exploring a heavier sound, that adds several stoner metal, progressive and doom influences to the mix, in order to create a cohesive yet wandering journey. Expansive odysseys like Master of Convulsions, The Elemental or the massive title track jump from one style to another to constantly keep the listener intrigued, while Moscufo bursts with dirty riffs that bring Karma To Burn to mind. At the heart of these songs lies Ruse, a lush ambient ditty that showcases something completely new from Methadone Skies. Production was once more handled by DorDeDuh/Sunset in the 12th House/ex-Negura Bunget masterminds Cristian Popescu and Edmond Karban, who also added a few keyboard touches at Consonance Studio, Timisoara.

Colosseus is due out on April 4 through Methadone Skies own imprint, Haywire Records as multi-colored vinyl/CD/digital download, soon after which the band will perform several promotional shows across Romania and Central Europe.
