Doom/sludge metal group SOURVEIN will release their very first Metal Blade Records offering, “Aquatic Occult“, this coming Friday, April 8th. The album features guest performances by LAMB OF GOD‘s Randy Blythe (vocals, organ), Amebix‘s Stig Miller (guitar), Corrosion of Conformity‘s Reed Mullin (drums) and many others, so listeners should undoubtedly expect a crushingly-heavy record of epic proportions – inspired by mysterious terrors of the deep ocean blue.
“Aquatic Occult” album can be streamed below.
Read on for some reviews of SOURVEIN‘s acclaimed new album:
“…sonically, it’s definitely a mother… ‘Aquatic Occult’ is a celebration of slow, brooding, fuzzy heavy metal.” – MetalSucks.net
“Sourvein is an extremely rare breed of band, one that should be a household name but somehow isn’t…yet.” – GuitarWorld.com
