Put your raincoats on as Krigsgrav’s eighth studio album ’Stormcaller’ is predicting some very heavy blackened thunderstorms. Pouring down on you via Willowtip Records since last Friday!

Third studio album “Pain Effulgence” of Boston, Massachusetts death doom quartet Innumerable Forms is a crushing iteration of the classic sound of British and Finnish melancholic bands. Out now via Profound Lore Records since August 22nd.
