in the company of serpents

Denver doom rockers In The Company Of Serpents is streaming “Third Mind,” off their current release Merging In Light, out December 21, 2014, here. Stream the album here.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Nightbringer, Primitive Man, Cobalt, etc.) at Flatline Audio in Denver, Colorado, Merging In Light boasts over twenty hostile minutes of bottom-heavy, riff-sodden, cheerlessness and auditory gloom.

Merging In Light features artwork by renowned illustrator Sam Turner, (Sleep, Speedwolf et al) and will be released independently on limited 12″ colored vinyl with an etched B-side. The two ouroboros serpents forming the Vesica Piscis symbol on the front and back cover will be done in UV spot gloss on the jacket, so it will have the appearance of glossy black against matte black. Additionally, 100 of the 500 records pressed will have a haze of black set against a milky, semi-translucent white, and will also come with a printed slipmat available. The remaining 400 will be white vinyl.

Dec 06: The Marquis Theater – Denver, CO (W/ To Be Eaten, Call Of The Void, Feather And Bone)
Jan 16: The Marquis Theater – Denver, CO (* EP Release Show w/ The Flight Of Sleipnir, Ghosts Of Glaciers, Dreadnought)

The Safety Fire shared an acoustic version of “Wise Hands,” which can be viewed here. The song will be available on all digital platforms including iTunes & Spotify from the 16th December 2014. They are also currently writing their third studio album, due in 2015 via Inside Out Music.

The band commented:

“Growing up with bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam during the era of MTV-unplugged, we have always had a fondness for acoustic interpretations and versions of songs. This was something we just did for fun but were really happy with how it turned out. With the music being stripped back we felt the video was a fitting portrayal.”

Thunderwar cover front copy

 

In the finest tradition of Poland’s great metal bands, comes Thunderwar with their recent EP The Birth of Thunder. You can stream the album at their Bandcamp page here, but you can win a FREE download code to crank these tunes whenever you want from Ghost Cult Magazine! Simply click the SHARE button from the post about this contest on Facebook and raise awareness of this cool band. Harkening back to a sound that calls to mind the early work of Vader, and the more Pantera-worshipping moments of Decapitated, Thunderwar blasts down the door with a fresh take on this music. Coarse, grindy vocals and impressive, complex riffery are the hallmarks of these Viking worshipers who have already supported Amon Amarth on their home soil and have an upcoming show with the mighty Obituary on their European tour next month.
