CINEMATIC DOOM FILM SCORES FROM SF
The time is finally here. After ten years of live variants, lineup changes and pitiless combat, we are overjoyed to announce the imminent release of our new album, Songs in the Key of Conan!
Recorded, mixed and mastered by the evil wizard himself, Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer, the record will arrive on June 5th via Koolarrow Records. Pre-orders are now open for digital, CD and an awesome limited edition gatefold double vinyl in delightful 180 gram blood swirl vinyl. Link is in bio!
Cover art is being supplied by the incredible multi-talented Aaron John Gregory and a small detail of that work in progress is shown here. It is going to be epic!
In addition, the first single, Forged in Steel/Blood on the Snow, is available today everywhere one may prefer to be bludgened by barbarian drumming and guitar. Check it out!
