Some of the best art is often made in the wake of the worst tragedies. Such is the case with Germany's doom metal band Owl, whose forthcoming, 3rd full-length album, Nights In Distortion, nearly never came to fruition due to the impact of the death of their bassist René Marquis.

Over 4 years in the making, the band's long-awaited record will finally be realized on September 7th via the Swedish label Temple of Torturous Records.

Owl's (Germany) founder and primary songwriter Christian Kolf, who's also a member of the critically renowned metal band Valborg (Prophecy Productions) and founder of the label Zeitgeister, created the band in the mid-2000's as a necessity to further explore and challenge his musical creativity.

What began as a death metal project has evolved over the years, incorporating Kolf's eclectic tastes and influences that's resulted in an amalgam of death and doom that conjures memories of Type O Negative, Jesu, Neurosis, Anathema and Meshuggah among others.
