Today, doom-death titans Druid Lord reveal the new track "Festering Tombs". The track is taken from the band's highly anticipated third album, Relics Of The Dead, which will see release in early 2022 through Hells Headbangers on CD and cassette tape formats; the vinyl LP version will follow later next year.
For years, Druid Lord were one of the metal underground's best-kept secrets. It wasn't until the band signed with Hells Headbangers for the release of their second album, Grotesque Offerings, when Druid Lord finally started receiving their due. Massively acclaimed, Grotesque Offerings displayed Druid Lord in all their doom-death glory: eerie, utterly crushing, and simply molten beyond measure. This was the sound of supernatural horror writ large, painted with bold strokes and even bolder heaviness.
And while eight years separated their two full-lengths to date, thankfully, Druid Lord return in comparatively quicker time with Relics Of The Dead. Wisely sticking to the same formula as its celebrated predecessor - lurching-tank riffs, lurking-dread atmosphere, completely skull-crushing production - here do Druid Lord render their third album a more concise counterpart that, somehow, also finds them at their doomiest and darkest.
If Grotesque Offerings was a mini-classic in the making, harkening the arrival of the new doom-death lords, then Relics Of The Dead is Druid Lord's grand coronation! Witness the first sounds of that coronation with the brand-new track "Festering Tombs" by clicking play in the player below. Link
