Rise Above Records and Metal Blade will release The Wretch from Gates of Slumber on May 10, 2011. The album is the fifth full-length from the doom band.
Here is what vocalist Karl Simons has to say about the upcoming record. A track listing is below.
This record is frustration and disappointment put to music...No heroics this time, no swords; no sorcery. No fantasy. That stuff is OK; it's fun...whatever, but we don't feel it these days. This one is all about others let you down almost as much as you let yourself down. It might not make sense to you, but then you probably only have the last two records as a digital download. That, or your world is summed up by someone else's soundbite.
