The band has been hard at work, playing gigs all over The USA. The recent reissue of "8 Convulsions" has been selling really well and we thank you for your support.

Custom-design leather and metalwork from Karyn is in stock at our web store, as well as other awesome CDs from CRISIS. Be sure to check em out!

Work is already being done for a follow-up release to the debut CD, "...beyond my grey wake" and the band will enter the studio to record this April. A conceptual music video for All The Seasons of Madness, written by Dust, who is also an actor, is in its final editing stage. It's possible that this video as well as live footage and in-studio exclusives will accompany the future sophomore album by this amazingly talented bunch, quite possibly in the form of a CD+bonus DVD package.

Meanwhile, the feedback on "...beyond my grey wake" has been absolutely amazing!! It's always rewarding when the rest of the world sees that "something special" that I saw when I signed the band in the first place. If you have yet to give them a try, check out the audio sample and  reviews.

Metal Edge
by Josh Sindell

"Everything about How Like A Winter's debut album reeks of class. This young Italian band plays an intriguing blend of doom-laden classical-sounding arrangements, with a lead singer who calls himself Dust growling his death-metal bark through lamenting female voices (the singers name themselves Tragedy and Misery). Hardly a laugh-riot, ...beyond my grey wake inspires comparisons to My Dying Bride and Lacuna Coil, but neither of those bands come close in simulating the cold beauty of melancholy as well as this sextet. Named after a Shakespearean sonnet (but you already knew that right?), HLAW are all about atmosphere and ambience, with lyrics that evoke elegant torment and despair, without ever succumbing to sophormoric "doth's" and "prithee's." If this album were a rose, its thorns would never fail to draw blood."

"Eternity Revealed" is in its second pressing and critics agree that this album freakin ROCKS!!!!!! Check out Pale Divine in this issue of Metal Maniacs or Caustic Truths, out this May/June.

Eternity Revealed is massive. That's the word that always comes to mind with I listen to the record. There is a lot to get your head around, and its full enjoyment potential doesn't materialize until several listens in. The full scope and immensity just has to seep in, little by little. Eternity Revealed is the Three Mile Island of metal.
Pale Divine's gift to doom-tinged metal is adding in a 70's heavy psych flair and an unreal comprehension of the metal jam. I've always maintained these guys are the Allman Bros. of metal, and Eternity Revealed does nothing, thankfully, to change my mind. The complexity of the jams contained within are head-spinning, but the emotional power behind both these jams and the songs themselves are truly a gift.
Whereas their previous effort, Thunder Perfect Mind was an excellent work, it was hampered by less than austere production. This time they enlisted famed engineer to the DC scene, Chris Kozlowski, and the result is amazing. Eternity Revealed also has a more 'metal' feel than TPG, less groove and more dire. The fact that the PDs also pulled a couple of tunes off of the famed (and also very dire) Crimson Tears demo and retooled 'em a bit, helped color Eternity a bit darker than it's predecessor.
And riffs! there is more riffs per song on ER than most modern Death Metal opuses. It's staggering. Each song is a friggin' rollercoaster with highs, lows, plateaus, sudden twists and sudden dropsÉ massive. That's it. Massive.
An exceptional release, definitely in my top ten for the year. (hellridemusic)
