Long out-of-print, Twilight Records and The Fossil Dungeon join forces to once again make available TSBB's fourth album, "Alchemie," originally published by the (now defunct) UK distributor, World Serpent. This new edition features re-mastered and newly embellished versions of the original songs along with several bonus tracks.

The Soil Bleeds Black were recently featured on the Waerloga Records CD compilation, "A Tribute to Uglakh." The release is an extraordinary compilation of fantasy and middle age inspired music from all over the world. Originally developed to assist as background music for RPG fantasy gaming.

The Soil Bleeds Black are currently preparing material for their next full-length CD, “Femina Mediaeval: Medieval Women of Life and Legend,” to be published by The Fossil Dungeon in 2005-2006. Their latest effort will enlist the multi-instrumental talents of Francesco Banchini of Italy’s GOR.

The Soil Bleeds Black have collaborated on a track titled, "The Death Rattle," for BLEIBURG’s next release, “Pieces of a Broken Dream.” BLEIBURG is a German act created by Thaglasz’s Stefan Rukavina. "Pieces of a Broken Dream" will be published this summer by Cold Spring Records (UK). Other artists collaborating on this release include Aube, Harvest Rain, Vidna Obmana, Cawatana and Moon Far Away among others.

The Soil Bleeds Black will be collaborating with Mauerbrecher on their debut release scheduled to be published by The Fossil Dungeon. The Danish one-man band, Mauerbrecher, is the work of composer and programmer Rane Rørdam Knudsen. Fossil Dungeon artist, Dawn Desiree’, will also be contributing some vocal passages for the release.

The Soil Bleeds Black recently completed a cover track of Tears For Fears’ “Shout” for an 80s tribute compilation scheduled to be published by Italy’s Palace of Worms record label. TSBB will also be contributing two exclusive tracks for “Mythos of the Mediterranean” — a Fossil Dungeon compilation also featuring Chirleison, xArkanex and GOR.

OUT NOW! The new 10" Vinyl Mini-LP, "Three Living, Three Dead," published by Old Europa Cafe (Italy). Features all new exclusive material and a guest appearance by Francesco Banchini.

TSBB will begin work soon on their next full-length CD. The album will be based around medieval women of life and legend. This special recording will be a collaborative effort between TSBB and Francesco Banchini of GOR.

Hexentanz, Equimanthorn, and Yamatu, all projects involving TSBB members, have new releases available this summer. Please visit our respective links for more information.

TSBB member, Mark Riddick, will be getting married to his girlfriend of twelve years, Natalie Helene Pike, on June 25th.

TSBB will appear on the next installment of the popular German medieval compilation, Miroque (Volume #9).
