ROSES NEVER FADE: Dark Neofolk Trio Releases Second Full-Length Via Belgium's Neuropa Records


ROSES NEVER FADE returns to Belgium's Neuropa Records with their long-awaited second full-length entitled Devil Dust.

Featuring Ancient VVisdom's Nathan Opposition, The Way To Light's Austin Rathmell and Pale Creation's Nick Fiction, Devil Dust was penned over a two year span at several studios with its trio of members residing in various parts of the US. Mastered by Paul Logus (Anthrax, Clutch, Hellyeah, Shadows Fall, Satyricon et al) at PLX Mastering in New York City, ROSES NEVER FADE's Devil Dust is a near forty-minute journey of dark, brooding, acoustic-based, neolfolkian textured melancholy marked by its lushly layered, enveloping guitars and stark, chilling lyrical imagery. A fitting audio journey for fans of Agalloch, Death In June, Joy Division, and Tom Waits.

ROSES NEVER FADE was initially forged by Integrity's Dwid Hellion, Vegas's Thorsten Wilhelm, Black Marsh's Matt Shack and Pale Creation's Nick Brewer (aka Nick Fiction) with the intent to produce emotive, sad, and stripped down acoustic-based passages. Their debut came in the form of 2006's Fade To Black. Featuring ten sorrowful hymns of lush acoustic guitars, swelling creepy tones and haunting vocals, Fade To Black has since become a cult classic with other formats surfacing since its original release. The offering was eventually repressed on CD by Neuropa Records, consequently becoming ROSES NEVER FADE's official label home. Various incarnations ofROSES NEVER FADE developed and redeveloped with its final cast featuring Fiction alongside Nathan Opposition and Austin Rathmell.

Devil Dust is available via Neuropa Records at THIS LOCATION. Further ROSES NEVER FADE news to be unveiled in the weeks to come. Stay tuned.
