Men Eater came together as a band in a pretty casual way, in the back seat of a van, while heading back home from a festival in Spain. Mike (guitar), Carlos (guitar), Sérgio (vocals) and BB (drums) all had different projects. By bouncing ideas, all of a sudden, it struck them as a bolt of lightning why the fuck don’t we start a project together? It took shape in a day and became a reality on the next. Without any plans on how to conquer the world or similar, they just shared love for good music and enough inspiration to start writing the first songs almost immediately.
After five weeks of rehearsals and with bass player João already on board, they decided to record a self-titled EP. A vicious bomb of sludge/crust riffs mixed with stoner and ambient influences.
Gigging pretty regularly, the quintet played all over the country sharing stages with names so diverse as The Ocean or Madball and by the time they started writing new songs, the buzz around them was already overwhelming. Unfortunately, around that same time, the band decided to split with Sérgio but that didn’t stop them. Fuelled by the excellent reactions they were getting, the four musicians with guitar player Mike now also handling vocals faced the composition of new material with a newborn confidence. «HELLSTONE», the debut full-length record, is a perfect reflection of that.
The album contains ten powerful songs, which were built on the foundation already set on the EP while also bringing a whole lot of different influences to the table. «HELLSTONE» was recorded at the infamous BlackSheep Studios by Makoto Yagiu (If Lucy Fell, Riding Panico), mixed at the Red Room Recording, Seattle, by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes / Mouth Of The Architect / The Coma Recovery) and mastered by Ed Brooks (Isis, Pearl Jam).

Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER. However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club! Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
