Circle of Snakes

A gritty return to heavy metal fundamentals. Down-tuned riffs and a bone-dry vocal mix create a claustrophobic, occult atmosphere that feels both ancient and raw.

It's like a doom metal ritual recorded in a garage with the lights off.

A relentless, claustrophobic gloom that feels both ancient and physically heavy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the ritualistic percussion of Wotan's Procession into the jagged, down-tuned assault of SkinCarver.
The sudden shift to a hauntingly melodic chorus in 1000 Devils Reign that pierces through the album's otherwise dense gloom.
The way the bass guitar feels physically heavy and overdriven during the title track's main riff.
