After 2023 sophomore album “Legacy of the Sword” helped put German Traditional Heavy Metal act Tomb Of Giants on the map after a decade at the grindstone, the departure of Sergio Cisternino left the band wandering in
Recorded and mixed by Max Lajoie (Spite House, Moving Targets, Panic Attack), mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios (Violent Way, Infiltrator, Sundrowner), adorned by artwork from Jon Mayo (Zodiac Killer, Snuffed On Sight, Cold Steel) and released through Lifers Records in 2023, an EP titled “Demo” was the first shot in anger from

During the introduction sequence, Jason Lee describes his character as “The shifty-looking guy at the convenience store who buys a
“While we all met in our local hardcore scene, that’s not where we wanted to stay. A song like ‘Imposter’ shows that we’re not afraid to write with actual melody.

The bands fourth record since inception in 2018, it finds them officially

If you’d asked Michigan based Death Metal crew Recorruptor back in 2020 when they unleashed sophomore album “The Funeral Corridor” which paved the way for regional touring and support slots with such household names as Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder and Suffocation
