Along with an upcoming U.S. tour in Sept, Virginia based down-tempo punishing doom metal act SALOME will release their next full-length through Profound Lore records.

 

Already making quite a reputation with their self-titled debut and their crushing live performances, the three-piece (namely vocalist Kat, guitarist Rob Moore, and drummer Aaron Deal) are currently writing material for their sophomore album and plan on entering the studio late this year to deliver their most punishing material to date.  Expect the next Salome full-length to drop sometime first half of 2010.  In the meantime, along with an upcoming split LP with Louisiana sludge gods THOU, Salome will be hitting the road this September with BATTILUS and HULL.  Tour dates are as follows (with some TBA):
