Dool wurden von den wohl berüchtigsten Rockmusikern der Niederlande gegründet. Neben Sängerin und Hauptkomponistin Ryanne van Dorst (Elle Bandita) besteht Dool aus den Gitarristen Nick Polak (Gold) und Reinier Vermeulen (The New Media), Bassist Job van de Zande (The Devil's Blood) und Schlagzeuger Micha Haring (The Devil’s Blood) und avancierte aufgrund der mitreißenden Debütsingle “Oweynagat” und einer brandheißen Performance beim Roadburn-Festival 2016 rasch zu einem der größten Geheimtipps im Underground.
Holland's most notorious rock musicians have gathered to form DOOL, a dark rock band featuring bassist Job van de Zande and drummer Micha Haring from celebrated cult rockers The Devil’s Blood and the country's most infamous rock singer, the striking Ryanne van Dorst. Rounded out by guitarists Nick Polak (Gold) and Reinier Vermeulen (The New Media), DOOL radiates an undeniable raw energy and has created a distinct and dynamic sound right from the start. On the strength of its captivating debut single, "Oweynagat", and a red hot live performance at Roadburn 2016, DOOL has quickly become a hotly-tipped buzz band in underground circles.
DOOL's much anticipated debut album, Here Now, There Then, is set for release on February 17, 2017, and proves all advance praise to be more than justified. Recorded by producer Pieter Kloos (The Devil’s Blood, Motorpsycho), Here Now, There Then is an album of supreme songwriting and remarkable musical diversity, blending classic hard rock, gothic pop and psychedelic metal in an ever-surprising manner. Carried by infinite, hypnotic guitar lines, DOOL takes the listener from dark caves, inhabited by ancient ghosts on its debut single "Oweynagat", to the deep abysses of a broken heart on cuts like "Death of Love". From the sensual and teasing ("Words on Paper"), to the imposing and ominous (the 10 minute epic "Vantablack"), DOOL hits every pressure point, striking with the deadly precision of a venomous asp.
“Here Now, There Then is about dreaming, ambition and will,” says Ryanne van Dorst. “The album is about breaking boundaries and behavioral patterns while destroying stigmas. It is a mantra for whoever needs it and in any way one chooses to use it. It is the shadow lands between fantasy and reality. A fairy tale in a concrete background."
Dutch for “wandering”, the sound of DOOL is a call to let oneself float freely and weather the storms of everyday life, taking flight into the wild unknown…all those who wander are DOOL.
