Founded in 2015 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with a name derived from the Dutch word for "wandering," dark rockers Dool embarked on an ongoing spiritual and musical journey that took them far within a short amount of time on the strength of just one album. However, hearing the sophomore "Summerland," you can't help but think its successful predecessor (ranked #13 among the "Best 100 Albums Of The New Millennium" by German magazine Rock Hard) was just a warm-up.
"Our debut 'Here Now, There Then' was a big experiment because we could not foresee at all how the band would sound," reveals singer, guitarist and overall powerhouse Ryanne van Dorst. "I took the skeletons of songs I had written to the other members, and we just started to jam, seeing what would happen. That was what we recorded, but we only found our own style while playing gigs during the last few years. The material kept growing on stage, so on the "Love Like Blood" EP, you could already hear that we had become more confident."
"Summerland" encapsulates the meaning behind the quintet's monicker. Expansive and more varied on all fronts, it represents the constant evolution that goes along with the soul's quest for ascension, resulting in a bedazzling mix of classic and post rock, Midde Eastern flourishes, psychedelia and metal. Each track displays its own identity within a loose thematic frame as summarized in the climactic title track: the struggle to find a place in this world, reaching some ultimate state mind, ecstatic pleasure and reincarnation, also inspired by Richard Matheson's novel "What Dreams May Come" as a modern take on the Biblical cycles of hell.
"The term 'summerland' comes from paganism and refers to heaven, nirvana or whatever else you'd like to call it," the lyricist explains. "Since I usually write from experience and about what keeps me awake at night, I was asking myself what makes me happy on this existential plane and how the ideal afterlife would look like. This became a recurring motif throughout the lyrics in the shapes of sex, magic, psychedelics and many other means to invoke this 'summerland' in the here and now."
The group recorded "Summerland" at DAFT Studios in Malmédy, Belgium, and Studio Cobra in Stockholm, Sweden, with Martin Ehrencrona (Tribulation, In Solitude). Mix and mastering were handled by Cult Of Luna's drummer Magnus Lindberg in Redmount Studio Stockholm. As guests, Dool invited Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Candlemass) on Hammond organ, backing vocalist Farida Lemouchi (The Devil's Blood) and Okoi Jones (Bölzer), who contributed spoken words to 'The Well's Run Dry'.
After taking Europe by storm, Dool keep following their path to world domination with seven-mile boots, doing what they do best - devastating venues with their energetic performance, which, as Ryanne promises, "will look a bit bigger in every respect …"
"Summerland" is available as Digipak CD, 2CD artbook with expanded artwork and two bonus tracks, gatefold 2LP and box set.

Het was even wachten, maaaaaar daar is ie dan. Geweldig nummer!
Fantastisch!! Kan niet wachten op het album!
The „The Devils Blood“ spirit is strong with this one. You can clearly hear the rhythm section played in that very band. Bass and drums could come straight from a TDB song. Great song though. Keen to hear the whole album.
Lol am raving about this band, was saying just this on another track. It's like the sound of the spirit of the two siblings are present in the singer, who has a great melodic sense and does great solos,and also has a great amd unique vocal power too.
I came here for this comment.. Glad I'm not the only one hearing the simularity! I love it, the album is beautiful.
@@MaaikeLusyne It is fantastic...hooked af
Hell yes! The bassist and drummer of the Devil's Blood play in Dool. So awesome. Please check out the band Molasses if you haven't heard of them, it's made of the surviving members of the Devil's Blood. I think you'd all enjoy the sound :)
Fuck yeah, absolutely! I miss TDB, they were one of the most fascinating bands I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Saw them five times live. RIP - or more like RIC - Selim.
Love Dool, really looking forward to this new cd !!!
Ik heb t album, ik draai m grijs, erg mooi ! Ik vind de albums van Devils Blood erg mooi, jeugdsentiment, erg mooi om deze samenwerking te horen.
Every day I hope the number of views increases!!!

It's been like three years since the last record appeared. Are they still active or have already disbanded? Does anybody know?
Vocals amazing as always...last album recording was more clear with more depth...
@City Point Doesn't take more than 10 seconds to figure out a bad mix and poor guitar sound...
See you in Dortmund...
Nice single in the same spirits as their debut album . I'm really looking forward to listening to their new album but it's going to take at least 2 months until then :(
