We’re big fans of doom/sludge metal here at Transcending Obscurity Records and following the well-received releases of Jupiterian and Subterraen on our label of late, we’re thrilled to announce a brand new full length from German sludgelords Eremit. They’re back with massive near half-hour long songs filled with epic tales and skull-crushing heaviness. You can listen to one of the shortest tracks HERE.

Release Date – June 11th, 2021

German sludge/doom overlords Eremit return after releasing a fantastic EP in last year’s ‘Desert of Ghouls’ which acted as a bridge between the band’s earth-shatteringly heavy debut full length and the follow-up album which is definitely a progression. The band doesn’t shy away from writing epic songs averaging 20 minutes, with the longest one being almost half an hour long but that’s where they excel – they’re masters of meticulous songwriting and this genre provides them with the framework they need to narrate their mythical tales around which each album is designed. There’s a pronounced blackened touch on this one which adds diversity to their deafeningly heavy sludge/doom sound and there are many twists and turns that one will realize upon immersing oneself into the world of Eremit. Everything has a meaning, a purpose. Not a single riff is out of place. It should be evident from Eremit‘s subsequent releases that the band is only going from strength to strength and evolving where it deems necessary, and the listener is always in for a fascinating, heart-pounding experience.
