\nAs winter begins to rear its icy head in the Northern Hemisphere, the mythologically-inspired, blackened-doom quartet hailing from Bloomington, Indiana known as THORR-AXE have announced the arrival of their sophomore album, Gates Of Winter: January 13, 2015.<\/p>\n

“Cold, frosty doom\u201d act Thorr-Axe is a raiding party comprised of four guys with a mutual love of heavy music who belch forth tales of dragons, wizards, frost giants, and vikings putting axes through people’s skulls. A party of the blackest kind, which the Sleeping Shaman once referred to as \u201ca crushing rifforama that boldly sets all axes to bludgeon-mode,\u201d and every metal head with a black heart and a wry smile is invited.<\/p>\n

Track Listing:<\/p>\n

1. Open The Gates
\n2. The Seer’s Vision
\n3. Four Hooves
\n4. Mountain Crusher
\n5. The Forging Ritual<\/p>\n

CD preorders of Gates Of Winter are available now at THIS LOCATION<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Praise for Thorr-Axe\u2019s 2011 debut album, Wall Of Spears:<\/p>\n

“Put simply, this 9-song showcase is a feast of continent-sized riffs. Imagine The Sword taking on Amon Amarth for a late night Dungeons and Dragons battle with Matt Pike on hand to drink beer and advise The Sword on its strategy and you\u2019re pretty much there.\u201d
\n– Pete Green, The Sleeping Shaman<\/p>\n

“Wall Of Spears invokes a raging world of wizards and warriors, hell-breathing dragons and a nice cold beer or 50 to celebrate the smashing of the enemy\u2019s skull under the double-edged blade. This is the kind of record that sneaks up on unsuspecting souls before unleashing a Viking hammer between the eyes.”
\n– Nate Vaught, Forbidden Magazine<\/p>\n
