Indiana (USA)-based true doom metal legends The Gates Of Slumber released the second single, "Full Moon Fever", taken from the upcoming self-titled album, which will be released on 29 November via Svart Records.
The founder Karl Simon comments: "If my memory serves me right, 'Full Moon Fever' was the first song for the new album. The music was written around about when Tom Petty died. And yes, the song is dedicated to him. Not inspired by his music per se, but I was always a big Petty fan and yeah. Figure it out on your own time... The first set of lyrics I did for the song had more of a comical feel to them. More of a Motörhead treatment. A werewolf chasing cars and shit like that. But that's not the feel I wanted for the song in the end. The band was always meant to be a serious band. But I would be denying the truth if I said that it didn't have a lot of tongue in cheek. And that wasn't what we wanted to do with it at all. Part of the fun is playing it straight. So, I reworked the lyrics a few weeks before we actually recorded the album. I have to pat myself on the back. I think the break down is one of the best bits I ever came up with."
