SERPENT CROWN – Sophomore Full-Length Coming Next Month, Tour Dates Announced

Oakland-based sludge-laden thrash behemoths SERPENT CROWN will unleash their sophomore full-length, Incantations Of Vengeance, next month on limited-edition cassette. Captured at Green Dot Studios by Snake Green, Incantations Of Vengeance features Tommy Anderson on bass and Rob Ruiz (Psychosomatic) on drums. The band has since recruited Chris “Woz” Wozniak from Lair Of The Minotaur as their full-time drummer.

Forged by guitarist/vocalist Dara Santhai in 2009, SERPENT CROWN combines a dynamic exploration of haunting atmospheres, and heavy passages, carving a spectral landscape where technicality melds with a raw, dark intensity. Fusing elements of ’80s thrash with sludge and doom, SERPENT CROWN exists in a musical terrain that is difficult to define, yet cohesive and captivating. More technical and aggressive than their 2013-issued self-titled debut, (Horror Pain Gore Death Productions), with Incantations Of Vengeance the band has placed a greater emphasis on dynamics taking its listeners through the realms of death, sorcery, lycanthropy, and a quest for retaliation.

The six-track Incantations Of Vengeance will be self-released on September 9th, 2016 via the band’s official BandCamp.

In the meantime, sample the fury of opening hymn “Uncertain Life, Certain Death” RIGHT HERE.
