After a longer winter-sleep summoning is back again and ow works constantly for a new release. We promise that in the near future we will regularly update the homepage again, so it will we worth the costs to check the page in regular intervals.

The present situation of Summoning:

In the past years we have worked on new material just very rarely because of different reasons (partly personal, partly being not motivated enough) but since the last months ,we intensified the work for new material and realised, that the old spirit is back again and we are very motivated for a cool new release and we are very committed in every terms of composing.

Meanwhile there are two songs which are fix starters for the album. 4 or 5 songs are in a more advance state and we composed riffs for at least 10 or 15 songs in a very early state. Btw. we still have one finished song from the last oath bound session which also will be in one or another way. so probably this time we are in the luck situation that we have more songs left, so maybe there will be some special limited fan releases beside the normal release, but this is of course just a wish right now.

We hope that until the end of this year most of the material for the new album can be finished. In the moment we have no concrete conception about the lyrical concept. All we can say right now is, that Summoning is still alive and middle earth will awake again.

We now have finished the composing and selection process of the songs for the new albums (7 songs and one intro). All songs that did not find the way to the album will hopefully be released on future limited releases. In the next months we will record the already composed guitar lines and work on the lyrical concept of the album.

We also collected some paintings for the new album and will work on the visual concept from now on. We hope to be finished with everything untill the end of the year, so that the album can be released by Napalm Records in the first quater of the year 2013.

We also have the news from Napalm Records that in the end of this year there will be a vinyl release of some older Summoning releases. More details soon.

Vienna, Austria-based epic/atmospheric black metal act SUMMONING have revealed the title of their forthcoming new album, due this year via Napalm Records.

An update from the band states: "Last month we recorded all the guitar riffs for the new album, and Protector (vocals, keyboards, guitars, drum programming) recorded already his vocal lines. Silenius (vocals, keyboards) will do his vocal parts in the next weeks. We replaced the original intro with a new one (which has a stronger intro feeling), the old one will be transformed into an instrumental track, which maybe will be used as a bonus track together with the missing song from the othbound session.

After some time of silence, Austrian epic black metal masters Summoning have returned! Their new (yet untitled) album is coming in January 2018 and to ease your suffering, the band has just released a teaser video you can see below.

Commented by the band: "'And in the glade a light was seen ...' The past years have been a time of troubles, setbacks, disputes - and of resulting frustration. And then, the Summoning faded and silence arose ... Yet, it hasn´t been the end that was dawning. But in the ashes still a dim light was gleaming. The dying embers were set ablaze by ongoing dedication and new inspiration. And from the ashes fire was flaring to heat the forges again ... Summoning have returned from the dead and a new album will be released in January 2018!"

Summoning are bracing themselves for doom on their new album. After surprisingly revealing that they would release a new album next year, the atmospheric black metal duo from Austria just unveiled more details about the new offering. Now we know that the record will be called With Doom We Come and is set for release on January 5th 2018 via Napalm Records. Feast your eyes on the cover while you wait for more...
