DRUID LORD Hymns For The Wicked CD - bit.ly/17H5IrW Listen to the full album for FREE, then purchase the Digital Download - bit.ly/Hdrxt7 Official digipack reissue printed on reverse board with miniposter and includes two bonus tracks! Originally released on Halloween 2010, Hymns For The Wicked wasnt just another debut album: first and foremost, it signed the brilliant return to form of some of Floridas most seasoned veterans, back to where they belong that is the dirty swamp of extreme metal the 80s way. Death, thrash, doom... Hell, having take part in such seminal acts as EQUINOX, ACHERON, INCUBUS or DIABOLIC, Steve Spillers (drums), Pete Slate (lead guitar) and Tony Blakk (bass and vocals) surely know about them all hence DRUID LORD that works as a kind of combination of all. Owing a large debt to the mighty CELTIC FROST but also to doom lords such as CANDLEMASS and the very early doom/death scene - the intro alone of Witchfinder would have made PARADISE LOST circa the Lost Paradise period proud - and akin to what ACID WITCH achieved on their debut, Hymns For The Wicked is an old-school record that isnt nevertheless stuck in the past just for the sake of it. No, DRUID LORD have just to shave off the crap and take the genre back to its natural source. No gimmick, no female vocals, no modern production, just filthy and dirty doom with a death-metal edge, played with conviction, gutso and conviction. Initially recorded as a trio (the band has since been joined by Ben Ross on rhythm guitar), this debut has lost none of its impact and HPGD is damn proud to team up with Doomentia to make this intense piece of dooooom available to the public again, sick! Limited edition so dont miss out on this essential album!
