Re: Narrow House (doom metal) - "Thanathonaut" (2014)
It’s been almost a year since our second full length was out but we still get reviews from time to time. Which is good!
Quote:
"Narrow House incorporates sax, bass and cello, creating a process of osmosis between classical and electric instruments; a masterful mix of symphonic doom, experimentation, guitars crushing, sinister atmosphere, epic sax which made us think of a great Italian saxophonist Fausto Papetti. Tell us who won’t be engaged with the ideas contained in "The Last Retreat", "Furious Thoughts Of Tranquility", "Thanathonaut" and stay indifferent to their melodramatic intensity?" — Hardsounds
Quote:
"It is rare in the doom to come face to an energy such that it apart in the older groups such as Candlemass." — Pavillon 666
Quote:
"When I listen to the next release of the Ukrainian band I see it as a logical continuation of the first album in a way, and as a bold step forward at the same time […] I want to hail their avant-garde style." — Mroczna Strefa
In other news - we are getting involved in our first live event since 2012 in April. Hopefully it all goes well .

Re: Narrow House (doom metal) - "Thanathonaut" (2014)
We’ve got our first interview this year published by enthusiastic UK based project Femetalism that already did a great job with reviewing our releases previously:
Quote:
"Calling themselves Apocalyptic Doom and experimenting with countless influences, Narrow House have a unique sound which has grown and developed through the years and looks set to continue doing so. Their most recent album, Thanathonaut was featured back in August 2014 on the site and we recently had a chance to speak Yegor Ostapenko from the band to talk about the album, their live music experience, what is coming up and much more".

So, the gig was all good with Silencer from Whispering Shadows (UK) joining us as guest guitarist. As I've mentioned before this was the first live show for Narrow House since 2012, and sadly the first one with me as the only person left from original line-up. We performed without live keyboards which were always the responsibility of Ekaterina Romanova, who were not able to be part of the band this time.
However this was also the first time we had a bass player on the stage (Vyacheslav Lemberskyi) , with whom we've been rehearsing since the end of last year. Basically him joining the band made this all work in the first place. Here goes a fan-made video from the venue:
PS. there were published a few more fan-made videos which pretty much cover all our set that night (people who follow us on Facebook had probably seen them already):

It’s been slightly more than a year since "Thanathonaut" was out, and we would like to show you some new material we were working on lately.
With the help of Silencer from Whispering Shadows (UK) who was a part of our latest show in Kyiv, we are giving you the special edition of Whispered Hands Podcast featuring some of our raw rehearsal recordings.

Re: Narrow House (doom metal) - "Thanathonaut" (2014)
Happy new year everyone, long time no see! To make this update more worthwhile here are some good news for those of you who considered buying our stuff but haven't yet for some reason. We have reconsidered prices for our merch and made them lower. So...
The new price for "Thanathonaut" limited digipack is 13$ (it was 15$ and yes we still have some of them around). If you order one we can offer a special deal and add "A Key to Panngrieb" CD to it just for 5$
"Thanathonaut" CDs are now 8$ per copy (it was 10$)
Both one-sided and two-sided T-shirts now cost considerably less as well: 15$ for one-sided ones (old price was 17,99$) and 25$ for two-sided versions (old price - 29,99$)
Both digipacks and shirts are available from band only, CDs have the same prices as Solitude Prod. offers except you won't get "A Key to Panngrieb" for 5$ there (it's 8$). We thank each and everyone who already supported the band (we hope you enjoy your stuff), and encourage everyone else who is fond of our music to do the same as we plan to enter the studio again this year and additional funds wouldn't hurt.

Although I haven’t been active with posting news on website, those of you who follow our Facebook page (like our page to get all details first!) should know that throughout 2016 we’ve been working on recording and mastering new stuff, that is planned to be published next year. Other than that we have also took part in a very interesting project being made by Doom-Metal.Com and you really wouldn’t want to miss it:
We at Narrow House wish all of you great holiday time! See you in 2017!

Re: Narrow House (doom metal) - "Thanathonaut" (2014)
So as a final contribution to "A Lake of Ghosts" tribute project produced by Doom-metal.com we are giving you first lyric-video by Narrow House featuring our version of "The Bitterness and the Bereavement" track taken from As the Flower Withers album by My Dying Bride. This video is accompanied by beautiful art from English artist William Blake. A perfect way to visualize both creative geniuses from the same country.
PS. the audio track used for this video is the original version mastered by Morton Studio and is slightly different from what you can hear on the actual release at bandcamp etc.
