Album Update
Things are progressing nicely now. We're working towards a November release. With the likelihood of gigs uncertain, we've decided to target the Christmas market (Note to production - add some sleigh bells somewhere)
The songs are shaping up rather differently to how we first envisaged then. Still Rhombus, still big tunes, but leaner and meaner. We think you're going to love them!
Alixandrea Corvyn has delivered some simply stunning vocal performances this week. They're rather special.
Sounds interesting? Well the pre-order period is now open. Feel free to follow link below

Suddenly I recall those safe sex full body condoms...
How’s the medley of rock n’ roll standards coming along?
Noice!!!
sounds great.... hats of to the Rhombus PPE department..
Sounds great 🙂
Keep us updated sounds great 👍
I think that among all your fans I am the most anxious for the release of your new album, I even gained a few kilograms 😂😂
The more astute amongst you may have guessed that we won't be releasing our album on 4th July anymore.
Since the gigs were canned, we throttled back a little, but the album is now progressing nicely and the extra time is being put to good use. It's going to be a better record for the delay. We've been able to ring the changes and we hope to deliver something sharper and brighter!!!
The photo was taken by Jonathan 'J' Cridford at our last gig, back on December 27th at The Fulford Arms.
If we're honest, nobody knows for certain when gigs will return, especially not the doom mongers or phantom meme sharers!
We always remain optimistic and as soon as the local venues want us, just like James Bond... Rhombus will return.

expected this news and its quite sensible, if you cant promote an album with gigs there really is little point putting it out.
it was a great night. Hard to believe it was only 7 months ago. Here's to ending the year with new sounds heard live. 🖤
Hope non of ya going on stage in swimmers😳
Charlotte Hartshorne took this! I can't take the credit! J xx
Charlotte Hartshorne your photo is famous! Xx
When we started work on the new album, we set the brief of "Keep it Simple"
So for this song, Rob Walker has recorded seven lines of keyboards and Edward Grassby has recorded five lines of additional backing vocal

Not going for the no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall approach with this one then, Edward Grassby?
Oh fuck not this again...t'north's very own Steely Dan rides again 😂
Album update:
Drums and bass are all recorded. Go rhythm section!!!!!
Ludwig Von Walker is creating strings, pianos and keyboard soundscapes the likes of which you wouldn't believe. They're taking these songs to another level.
We've got one song developing that will bring a tear to all but the sternest of eyes.
Something quite magical is coming together.

Can't wait!
Rhombus have played at this fantastic venue many, many times.
With your support we and many other fantastic bands will be able to do so again.AN OPEN LETTER TO YOU, THE CUSTOMERS ❤️ PLEASE READ. DONATE -https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/savetheparish
Hey everyone!
First of all thanks, thanking you for donating over 12k to keep the parish going! That’s frikkin amazing and makes us all feel very squishy inside. It really has been pretty eye opening and massively pleasing to see how much people love what we’ve done at the parish: we have always tried our best to be the best we can and the fact that you lot have confirmed we are on the right path makes us so happy. So thankkkkk you x
I just wanted to update you on how we are getting on, and just reaffirm how important this funder is to our survival. Enterprise inns (our landlord) are still charging us rent, full rent, whilst we have been forced to close. This amounts to more money than we can afford, more money than we can claim in government grants (which is £0), and more money than, in my opinion, they have the right to expect from us.
£25000 would cover this & keep us alive, if we can hit our target we will know, that we will likely survive (if this doesn’t go on for too long!) . We will do everything we can to pay you guys back, I can promise, cross my heart & hope to die, that everyone involved in what we do will be working towards making the parish the best thing it can ever be. And we will do it.
We are talking to everyone, we are leaving no crack unexplored in our efforts to make this work without your help, and if we succeed without your help, your help would still make a massive difference, it would allow us to carry out works we’ve been wanting to do for years. We will make it safe to have a wee, we will endeavour to remove the graffiti from the tables for more than 3 days, we will correct all the grammar from the graffiti, we will make our beer garden the land of all that is comfort and relaxation. Whatever happens, I want you to know that we are doing the best we can to keep Parish alive. We are biased, but we believe we are important to what comes from this.
Love, The Parish x

It's April 2020. The UK is in the middle of a government-imposed lockdown. That didn't stop the members of Rhombus having fun, being creative and taking the piss.
The band took a break from recording their new album to revisit a favourite from 2010 - Anywhere, The Lockdown Version.

Brilliant! And even found one of the countries bog roll hoarders in the process! 😎
That was fun!
Nutcase brilliance
Hello everyone!
To brighten your day, the team in Rhombus Land has been very busy revisiting one of our most enduing songs from 2010 and revamping it for 2020. Anywhere recorded Anywhere
Keep strong, keep happy, look after each other and try not to spend too much time moaning about other people's behaviour!
Love is the answer.
Thanks to Maria Delg for putting the video together, Lee Talbot for mixing and The Backstreet Boys for the idea

This was amazing, thank you! Nice to finally hear Alixandrea on vocals too... I haven't been able to get to a gig since she joined!
Great work, look forward to seeing again, somewhere, anywhere when this is all over 🙂
Let’s hope the lock down ends before the album launch !!!
Love it , good place to stash the bog roll and pasta
😍🥰
This is so great! 😀
The best track i habe ever heared, my fave, thank you 👏👏👏🖤🤗💎
Superb version! It's been far to long since my last Rhombus gig. I need to put that right.
well thats fantastic....thank you one and all
YES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!
Just what I needed in these mad times!
It’s been awhile since I caught up.. ‘Never mind the penguins.....’! Love it.
Fantastic!

Yes, great !!👏👏☻

So last year when we made our plan for the first half of 2020, deciding not to gig and to try and record our new album remotely sounded more than a little questionable.
Now in April, our plan of choice has become necessity. Leading us slightly smug to find ourselves in rhythm for once.
The timescale for releasing on July 4th still stands and we still hope to launch at Carpe Noctum.
The team around the band is now assembling (remotely) and we're actually quite excited about the album that is starting to take shape. It's going to be good, trust us.
Pre-order will be launching soon.
Lots of love to you and your's

Did wonder how it would affect your work on new album. Hope it's all over by then and the launch gig goes with a bang
So you've unleashed a global pandemic just to make your album release schedule more feasible? Nice one, world's crying now 😒
First time Andy's been in rhythm 😎
Looking forward to hearing it.
Needs More Cow Bells

Plan for next week...
1. Repair
2. Re-string
3. Record some bass

Great, I've always wanted to see "More TBC" live ! (I'm outta here…)
More TBC, c'est le groupe du chanteur de TBC après le split, c'est ça ?
Last night we wrote the catchiest of catchy new songs.
It's one of those ones you'll either really love or hate.
Either way it's an earworm!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at The Dead-Week Spectacular at The Fulford Arms, for another classic night.
Fantastic audience, some of whom had travelled great distances and overcome broken arms to make the event.
Thank you to The Seventh Victim (Hood) for a cracking set and The Trendy Vicars (Christopher Sherrington and Chris Tuke) for hosting us once again.
Comeback of the decade belongs to Ian FTG for filling an Alix shaped hole admirably.
As announced last night, the new album is set to be launched at Carpe Noctum on July 4th.
We'll crack on with that. It's going to be big and bright. Thanks to everyone who was 'Out for Rhombus' in 2019. Here's to a fantastic 2020!

Rhombus are one of the finest Goth Rock bands to emerge from the North of England in many years.

Hi Guys, I'm attending the Norwich event all the way from London! I'm hoping your set list includes Anywhere and Mythos....please!!! Thank you. Looking forward to it! What time will you be on stage?
For once, we've not been idle in Rhombusland.
Songwriting is now progressing well. As of last night we have six songs pretty much done. Three have already been played live, the others have come together over the last month.
We've also got a sound-cloud account full of riffs, ditties and tunes from last year's "Slacker sessions" that Rob and Lee are going to start sifting through to determine the wheat from the chaff.
Fingers crossed the new album will be ready in 2020

A couple of years back we released this limited edition shirt.
There was a fantastic take up, The shirts pretty much sold out, in fact, we only have two left.
Since then we've had numerous requests for this shirt (I wonder why?) except of course, from people who wear the size of the two shirts we have left.
So next month, we're going to order another batch. Pre-order this shirt now to ensure we get your size!

It is alway a pleasure to watch this band performing live but this time the synergy between the musicians on stage and the audience (hail to the London crowd!), together with glorious lights and sound, made the show really special.

So last night Rhombus reconvened for our first rehearsal in a long time.
So long in fact Rob Walker was worried the internal battery on his effects unit may have run down.
Somebody locked Andy 'Brandy' Holmes in the toilet, however this crime is likely to remain unsolved as the police informed him that the list of suspects couldn't be narrowed down even to the people in the building.
We're gigging next Sunday, headlining 'Rockin Rotherham 6' at The Hive. Being a Sunday it's a very civilised affair which concludes at 8pm.
Reasons to attend
Rhombus are playing
So are our 'Great Mates' The Webb
It's free in
Reasons not to attend
Somebody let Andy out of the crapper.

We were there. Great night 😃

About time you got a drummer....
Thank you to everyone for another great night yesterday at The Fulford Arms.
The Deadweek Spectacular III was the biggest and best yet. We enjoyed ourselves mightily in front of a wonderful crowd. We were definitely on top form and Lee had flashing drumsticks!!!!!!
Special mentions to Sometime The Wolf. and Void Ship Captains for providing excellent support and to Christopher Sherrington and Chris Tuke for being our favourite 'just good friends' hosts.

1.Lightning Strikes Twice
2.One Day More
3.No Victim – No Blame (debut performance)
4.What You Wanted
5.Amaranthine
6.You Depend on You
7.A Moment Today

Thank you and see you soon x
Aye! Get us a Stokie show booked up. It's about time we played together again!
Merry Christmas from everyone in Camp Rhombus.
We didn't do many gigs in 2018, but we did write some cracking new songs, three of which we'll be playing at The Deadweek Spectacular - Rhombus - Sometime The Wolf - Void Ship Captains York
Come and join us as we gear up for 2019. Andy Holmes has offered to buy anyone who compliments him on his guitar playing a drink of their choice.
Love is the answer!

Love this 🙂
Great playing Andy 😉
Merry Christmas to you all...See you next week!!Much love 😀 xx
it will be a cheap night for Andy then!
I'm winning the "didn't make it to a Rhombus gig in 2018" contest right now, yes? You're in good company tho, didn't make it to a Terminal Gods or Cold in Berlin or Saint Agnes or Fields Of The Nephilim gig either! I know. I know. I am a failMarge! Still could be worse, I could get stinky toiletries for TattMass and then I'd really cry.
isnt it just!
PRESS RELEASE - Andy Holmes Agrees Guitar Endorsement.
Rhombus six string bluffer Andy Holmes has today agreed to endorse the new Encore Widow Maker VI, which is shaped like an assault rifle.
"Andy was our first choice!" said the noted budget range luthiers "It sounds like a massacre when he plays a normal shaped guitar, so this a logical next step"
When asked about possible negative connotations of endorsing a gun shaped guitar, Andy asked for clarification of what 'connotations' mean't before making a joke that offended even the unborn!

Oh, we're going past Stockton on our way to the Rhombus / Momento Mori / Mausoleums - Noircastle - 24.11.18 gig, says Andy. We've got time to pick up a guitar, right...? 😹
Rehearsal is going exceptionally well! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the Rhombus / Momento Mori / Mausoleums - Noircastle - 24.11.18!

That guitar guy at the back is losing more hair. He must be fucking ancient by now, no?
Is that Kenny? Who's gonna kill him? My money is on Rob...
