Additional Information:
Vinum Sabbatum's first full
length displays a band grown into a tight unit. The material is
somewhat removed from the Doom Metal approach of "Songs From The
Convent" and showcases more of their love for Prog & Hard Rock
rooted in the 70s, such as Uriah Heep, Deep Purple or Atomic Rooster,
along with Blues-based Heavy Rock á la early Black Sabbath, Pentagram,
Warhorse & Iron Claw.
So there is still heaviness
here, they merely traded the obvious Doom Metal leanings for an
exciting mix of bluesy doom and gloom, combined with psychedelic and
rocking grooves with enchantingly catchy melodies, and crowned by the
remarkable voice of Janne Salo and the Hammond Organ and keyboard of
Tomi Korpela.
The first press of the CD comes
in A5-Digipack, limited to 1000 copies.
The
LP comes with 350g gatefold cover, including A2 poster with the cover
artwork, on coloured vinyl.

Reviews:
"'Bacchanale Premiere' is the
right choice for everyone that likes his 70s Hard Rock straightforward
and dark or his Doom as old school as it can get.

"There are two things that made
me fall in love with VINUM SABBATUM: The first one is, the very
characteristic tone of Janne Salo’s voice along with the in-front,
louder-than-necessary, vintage way it comes out in the production. The
second one is the great solos which sound as if they come straight from
a lost tape of some great band of the 70’s hidden in some basement.
Fans of CACTUS, BLACK SABBATH
and IRON CLAW you might just have found your new favorite band."

"Eine
herrlich knarzige Blues-Rock Atmosphäre in bester 70er Jahre Manier. […] Wer
bereits Gefallen an ”SONGS FROM THE CONVENT” finden konnte, wird von
”BACCHANALE PREMIERE” keinesfalls enttäuscht werden und kann
bedenkenlos zugreifen. "
(www.evilized.de)
"... the content of “Bacchanale
Premiere”is highly addictive, especially
if you consider yourself a fan of the late 60s/ early 70s psych
(Hammond-driven) Rock and you still have a sweet tooth for the tunes in
the vein of CACTUS, ATOMIC ROOSTER, URIAH HEEP, and of course, Jon Lord-esque DEEP PURPLE. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, we are talking
about pure, awesome, proto-Doom Rock!
[...]
One thing is certain: VINUM SABBATUM have managed to capture the feeling and the essence of
the late 60's/early 70's Psych/Retro Rock in “Bacchanale
Premiere” and have done it better than a lot of other young bands
of this scene. It’s quite obvious that these guys spent a lot of time
creating this album, avoiding completely to follow the ‘copy/paste’ sickness of nowadays’ music industry by putting their personal
point of view in how Retro Rock should be played. Well
done, sirs! "
(9/10 - www.metalkaoz.com)
"Wow,
ich bin mal wieder beeindruckt von einem musikalischen Edelstein, den
fünf Freunde im finnischen Hyvinkää gefunden, oder besser: erschaffen
haben. VINUM SABBATUMs Erstling "Bacchanale Premiere" klingt, als sei
er zwischen 1968 und 1970 in einer mittelenglischen Industriestadt
entstanden. […] Alle Freunde psychedelisch-bluesigen Urdooms
kommen bei VINUM SABBATUM voll auf ihre Kosten. […]
Wer auf skandinavischen Retrorock von
WITCHCRAFT und deren Kollegen GRAVEYARD steht und die trotz Hypes nicht
schlechten GHOST gern hört, braucht "Bacchanale Premiere"! […]
Zuschlagen, Leute- diese Platte sollte in keiner halbwegs ernsthaften
Sammlung fehlen! "
(12/15 - www.myrevelations.de)
"Abschließend
bleibt zu sagen, dass man mit "Bacchanale Premiere" ein Album
abgeliefert hat, das zwischen Bands wie "Ghost", "The Devil's Blood"
und "Reverend Bizarre" nicht untergeht - nein, es möchte sich nichtmal
mit diesen messen. "Vinum Sabbatum" spielen ehrlichen Rock, ohne dass
man das Gefühl hat, dass sie versuchen, irgendeinen Trend hinterher zu
laufen. Und das macht nicht nur die Musik hörenswert, sondern auch die
Band sehr sympathisch"
(www.rottinghill.at)
"The
new full-length finds the Hyvinkää five-piece well assured of their
aesthetic and what they want to be as a band, the kind of doom they
want to make and just how much classic and cult heavy rock they want to
put into it. The answer to that last question seems to be “a
lot.” More even than their EP or the split. Bacchanale Premiere places itself next to the heavy
of old, sonically, and as a result, atmospherically."
(www.theobelisk.net)
"I’m
not sure of the band is looking to get completely out of the doom metal
genre but if this an attempt in that direction, they’re on the right
track. They still got ways to go but getting there. Some bands try to
evolve over time, some fail, other succeed. Vinum Sabbatum have
succeeded in improving upon an already impressive (short) back catalog. "
(www.thesodashop.us)
"Bacchanale Premiere’ is a great
slice of stoner-y Scandinavian psychedelia. Fans of Black Sabbath and Rainbow as well as
contemporary throwback bands like Witchcraft, Ghost and Graveyard will dig this. "
