Description

Limited gold-colored vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release from the doom metal band. Serpents tapped Bay-Area underground metal production wizard Greg Wilkinson (High On Fire, Annihilation Time, Graves At Sea) to record the band s first full length. Serpents entered Earhammer Studios in 2017 and laid down six new tracks that capture the essence of the band s groove driven heavy doom style. Like Cathedral and Trouble before them, Serpents of Dawn delivers a sound that is equal parts doom and traditional heavy metal riding together atop a pulverizing 70s groove. Serpents memorable riffs and compelling leads are provided by guitarist and founding member Kyle House. House has demonstrated a colossal aptitude for riff writing in his other band – crusty death metal destruction unit, Acephalix – and his knack for catchiness, as recognized by Pitchfork s Andy O Connor, is on full display in Serpents. House s righteous axe work is supported by the locked in rhythm section of Patrick Crawford and Michael Scanland and is rounded out by the cavernous death-doom delivery of vocalist Stephen Wallace. The sum of these collective parts is the aural equivalent of a lumbering, denim and leather clad, chopper riding beast. Think Onward to Golgotha era Incantation doing vintage Leaf Hound covers, or Corrupted if they were obsessed with Mountain s Climbing! .
