The Council of Days

Bio

The Council of Days is an American gothic rock solo project, formed in Huntsville, Alabama in 2010 by Edward Schreiber. His sound places an emphasis on strong percussion, angular, icy guitar riffs, deep, prominent bass lines and smooth, baritone vocals. The result is aggressive and diverse; flirting with the somber and the sensual, the monstrous and the beautiful. His lyrics draw from personal experience, mythology, history, politics and society. His songs have appeared on compilations such as Gothic Rock Around the World and have been broadcasted by the likes of Mick Mercer and Kitty Lectro, though he is best known for the underground goth anthem, "Methedrine". The Council’s first single Methedrine was released in April of 2010, followed by Machinesoul in May. The project was then put on hiatus due to a severe writer's block, but during this downtime, Edward still managed to produce some electronic tracks and when a friend heard them in 2013, he urged Edward to revive The Council. These tracks were later released as the Black Sun Rising EP. Soon after, he recorded a few covers and recreated two original songs. These events reminded him why he started creating music in the first place and with renewed inspiration, he set out to create an album in late 2013. Dark Night of the Soul had been in a purely conceptual stage for years, but Schreiber felt he lacked the knowledge and resources needed to create it until then. It was released on July 29th, 2014, available digitally alongside a limited run of 100 CD’s. On October 13th, he released Under Cover of Darkness, a free EP of new and re-worked cover versions. He is currently working on his next album. Official site Facebook BandCamp . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
