Stormruler Sacred Rites & Black Magick CD

2022 release. St. Louis, MO black metal duo Stormruler broke out in 2021 with the avid subterranean support of their debut full-length, Under A Burning Eclipse - subsequently garnering scores of acclaim upon it's wide re-release via Napalm Records. In late 2022, the band consisting of midwestern scene stalwarts Jason Asberry (vocals/guitars/bass) and Jesse Schobel (drums/vocals) return with the aptly-entitled Sacred Rites & Black Magick - this time blistering with more unrelenting intensity while maintaining a haunting, visceral aura more ancient and foreboding than ever.
