The long-awaited second album “Ancient Doom Metal” by the Russian epic doom metal act Scald captures the pondering power of bands like Manowar and Candlemass, the mystical and a true Viking tradition in honor of Bathory. Out now via High Roller Records since last Friday, July 26th.

Know, oh prince, that in the years following their self-titled debut, there was an age undreamed of for Stygian Crown.
