The Drowning

New Album "This Bleak Descent" OUT NOW!



Since their formation in 2003, The Drowning have strived in the pursuit, to further push the boundaries of the genre, be it backwards or forwards.



With their debut album, released through Casket Records “When the Light was Taken from Us” has been greeted by critics alike. The Drowning believe they have found their niche in the market and provide members of an already established and growing fan base, with their own style of melancholic dark metal.



2007 saw The Drowning tour in promotion of their debut, with such bands as My Silent Wake,

The Prophecy and Centurions Ghost, to name just a few. This led to a spate of headlining gigs, in their local South Wales area and further fanned the flames, to raise the bands profile.



A break from live dates, has given The Drowning, time to put together their second album. “This Bleak Descent” takes up where the first album left off, and promises the listener a far more aggressive look into the Dark Doom/Death scene. Now released on Casket and widely available through all good record stores, The Drowning continue to build on their foundations, further pressing home their determination for excellence.

Keep it DarkKeep it Heavy.
