GRAVEWÜRM - Doomed To Eternity CD

Gravewurm are one of America's longest-running black/death cults, and Doomed to Eternity is their 11th album. Picking up where they left off with last year's Abyss Sorcery and the Hells Headbangers-released Infernal Minions, Gravewurm honor the ancient ways of Hellhammer and early Bathory with stripped-bare, endlessly headbanging anthems of evil and horror. They've also harnessed their most robust recording to date, rendered in bloody, old-school tones, and NunSlaughter's Don of the Dead does guest vocals on the intro to "The Wolves of Isengard." Above all, Doomed to Eternity marks the final recording of fallen metal legend Jim Sadist also of NunSlaughter, who played drums on every track here and helped co-write its songs: long may he rest in power. Set for release on Christmas day, it's gonna be one unholy holiday that's Doomed to Eternity.
