St. Louis, Missouri-based black metal duo Stormruler have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Upon Frozen Shores’, which can be viewed below.
Regarding the song, the band stated: “‘Upon Frozen Shores’ was chosen as the final offering of the album cycle for its grim nature and the diversity that it demonstrates within the record. Starting out of the gate with a mid tempo pace and story-telling prose, it will sink the listener directly into the story told. In a way, it showcases all different aspects that this record has to offer – from slow mid-tempo riffage, to the imperial buzzsaw, to acoustic passages and more. We’re proud to present this song to you all and we can’t for everyone to experience Sacred Rites & Black Magick in its entirety.”
Stormruler issue second full-length studio album Sacred Rites & Black Magick on October 14th, 2022 through Napalm Records.
Sacred Rites & Black Magick was produced, mixed and mastered by Gabe Usery at Encapsulated Studios.
“This album is on another level in comparison to our previous offering,” Stormruler commented. “It falls in the same vein of the melodic second wave black metal worship of Under The Burning Eclipse, but with a more intense and darker touch. It’s got the high speed buzzsaw attack we love, crushing grooves, solid leads, ambience within the interludes and acoustic passages, as well as lyrics that tell a story.”
Cover artwork was designed by Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design.
