Legendary doom metal band Mood reunite for 25-Year Anniversary in 2019

Dear media partners!

After 17 years the cult, Hungarian doom band, Mood is going to give one-off 25-Year Anniversary show in Budapest, Barba Negra on the 4th of January 2019.

The vital and internationally highly praised band of the local scene brought out 4 records during theirs 8 years career, last in 2001. The Fourth Ride of Doomanoids has been released by Hammer Records.

The era was closed by the official bootleg DVD, titled The Last Ride Of Doomanoids and recorded at the last show of the band. Members brought onward the nature of Mood in bands like Magma Rise, Stereochrist and Wall Of Sleep.


The band issued the following statement about their reunion:

“In the past 16 years, the idea of ​​coming together has been raised many times, and most of them have been encouraged by promoters. We were getting close to implementation, but it did not happen.Mood was formed in December 18th in 1993, 25 years ago, we think it’s a good timing to remember with respect and to raise the dead for a while.  So, after 17 years, Mood will be on stage early next year. It is a single concert in Hungary. If there is a good opportunity, especially abroad, later next year we are open for that.We have a few months to complete and to close this story, in 2019.We are very pleased to return... for a while.
Raise the flag of doom high!

Sanyi / Kolos / Gábor / Balázs / Tamás”

Vocalist Simone Simons stated: "Back in 2002, we could have never imagined that one day we'd be playing our 1,000th live show! This couldn't have happened without the support of our dearest and most loyal Epica legion, so in order to make this an unforgettable night, we've invited some very cool guests to perform with us!"

Guitarist Mark Jansen added: "I remember our very first show at 013, Tilburg as if it was yesterday. Back then we were supporting Anathema, but now 16 years later, we'll have the honour to be celebrating our 1,000th show at the same venue as headliners. We could have never achieved this without the support of our loyal fans, so we definitely wanted to make this an amazing night to celebrate all together with also some very cool special guests! We hope to see you all in Tilburg!"

A limited run of original pink 'Made In Bricks' vinyl will be available on the tour. 
 
Kate on 'Made Of Bricks':-

     "I am so excited to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of Made of Bricks. This was a life changing record for me. At the time of making it I had no idea what to expect, what making a record even was, and how much this would open up a world of art and music to me. After a decade of creating, recording, performing and living I feel more confident about my abilities than ever and I look forward to approaching these performances from where I am today. I can’t wait to share this with fans old and new, I’ve honed my performance skills and this will bring new life to old material, mixing a sense of nostalgia with a shiny bright future.

     I’m so proud of how far I have come and I actually feel like I have a stronger connection to the songs now than I did then. I’m more in tune with myself and I think that translates through my performance. I also feel like this album keeps me connected to why I create music. It's an important reminder to me to stay creative, open, imaginative, to have a sense of fun and remember the London streets I grew up in. It's amazing to be fortunate enough to have a career as an artist. So hashtag blessed. I’m as ever grateful to my beautiful fans!! And I’m excited to invite them to something extra special this summer!"

Even a band as resolutely committed to forward motion as Enter Shikari sometimes has to pause to take stock and review the ground they’ve covered. The 10 year anniversary of the release of debut album ‘Take To The Skies’ seems as good a time as any. 
 
Recorded in Reading, England by the band while still in their teens, on a budget of “not very much at all”, the album has gone on to sell 140,000+ copies in the UK alone, and in a very short space of time took Enter Shikari from a young band touring the small / medium sized clubs of the UK to big venues and festival main stages worldwide. 
 
In spring 2017, The band will be taking time out from work on their fifth “proper” album to perform a handful of shows worldwide over the space of a couple of months or so celebrating the anniversary of ’Take To The Skies’, with this UK / Ireland leg the first to be announced. 
 
Enter Shikari will headline 2017’s Slam Dunk Festival in Birmingham, Leeds and Hatfield, as well as two intimate warm-up shows in Belfast & Dublin. 
 
The dates being ; 
 
MAY 2017 

TUES 23rd - DUBLIN - Academy 
WED 24th - BELFAST - Limelight
SAT 27th - BIRMINGHAM - NEC 
SUN 28th - LEEDS - City Centre  
MON 29th - HATFIELD - The Forum

Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds opined thusly on the situation ; 
 
          "Slam Dunk is a festival that we’ve been attending from the very start - Slam Dunk South is actually on the campus of my old Uni in Hatfield! It's grown into one of the most important festivals in alternative music, and it will be an absolute honour to headline it in 2017.

          We’re going to be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of our debut album Take To The Skies, which feels totally mental in and of itself. The fact that we get to reminisce and relive tracks we recorded so long ago, and that are still held dear by so many, is something I could have never anticipated back then and fills me with appreciation for everyone that has supported this band over the years.

          We’ll never write another album like Take To The Skies, as Enter Shikari isn't really a band that looks backwards. But as this is a special occasion it’s important for us to recognise the importance of this album to us, and for the family of people who have supported us since those early days. On a purely selfish note, I cannot wait to play some of the tracks we haven’t played since 2007, or even ever!”
 

Enter Shikari recently released the stand-alone single 'Hoodwinker' - https://youtu.be/1qCpoH4VO9Y and on 18th November release Volume 6 of their ongoing ‘Bootleg Series’, ‘Live At Alexandra Palace’, on 2xLP, 2xCD and digital, recorded at the sold-out headline show at the 9,000 capacity London venue in February 2016. 

Upon the album’s release, the band will be doing a handful of in-store signings, plus a Shikari Sound System DJ set in Manchester on release night (18th Nov). 
 
Friday 18th Nov. 5:30pm - signing at HMV Manchester. 
Friday 18th Nov. from 10pm - Shikari Sound System DJ set at SOUTH, Manchester 
Saturday 19th Nov. 3:00pm - signing at Jumbo Records, Leeds. 
Tuesday 22nd Nov. 6.00pm - signing at Banquet Records, Kingston
