Knell – the sound of a bell rung slowly to announce a death or a funeral or the end of something; ring as in announcing death. (www.wordreference.com)

It hardly gets any slower. 8 years and it's only getting started. The Knell (as name hints) plays doom metal, mixing it with even more doom metal and throws just a bit of everything else.

Long existance without significant outcome could be explained by the fact that even though the band started in 1998 as a duo, it parted ways with more than dozen musicians who came to fill in along the way. Both official demos [that made the Knell claim it's presence] were recorded by duo only, therefore represents only shape of what could be achieved by full line up in studio and live. And now, after quite a few long years of doom with many ups and downs, one break up and many line-ups' changes, it seems that doomonster "the Knell" is stronger than ever. And so with their stable line-up, record deal and big experience you could expect a slow, heavy and unusual release in 2006. Expect more news.
