PILGRIM are the latest addition to the Metal
Blade roster via Primordial frontman Alan Nemtheanga’s imprint, Poison Tongue
Records. The doom trio consists of: Krolg Splinterfist, Slayer of Men on drums,
Count Elric the Soothsayer on bass guitar and The Wizard on guitar and vocals.
With a mix of destruction, misery and beauty, these young disciples of doom
blend a surprisingly original sword ‘n’ sorcery feel with the classic
chest-caving heaviness of the masters, Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Reverend
Bizarre and Pentagram.
“…an absolutely brilliant album consisting of six epic,
fantastical tracks of crushing, deceptively hypnotic and magical doom where no
singular highlights exist – each track can stand alone – because the entire
effort is a highlight.” – Terrorizer
“...in a realm
where the old-school and the experimental push against one another in an
eternally dynamic non-equilibrium, it's certainly not about who your influences
are. It's, of course, about how you use them. PILGRIM simply
have fun with these predecessors, renewing old sounds with the zeal of teenage
boys worshipping cheap Sabbath posters on their bedroom walls and the skills of
players who've been at this for a while...” – Pitchfork
“...an
impressive offering from a young band.” – Powerline
“This is true doom metal, not the hybrid bile that so
many bands are passing off as doom these days. The monster riffs will bludgeon
you senseless and shake you to the core, but you’ll keep coming back from more,
willingly and repeatedly.” – Pure Grain Audio
“…slow, ponderous, crushing doom, owing much to vintage
Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, and the like. Ominous riffs, pounding
rhythms, and haunting vocals make up the formula here, and tracks such as
‘Quest,’ ‘Astaroth,’ and ‘Masters of the Sky’ mix up the slow motion death
marches with speedier dirges for a wild ride.” – Sea Of Tranqility
